Sally Dynevor wants ‘Coronation Street’ bosses to give her character a break.
The soap star – who has played Sally Metcalfe on the cobbles for 33 years – admitted she was shocked when she found out her namesake would be fighting for her life and could even die in the horrifying Underworld factory roof collapse next week.
Asked if she was worried about being killed off when she heard the new, she told The Sun Online’s Soap Bubble column: "Of course that’s the first thing I said, oh my gosh!
"Gosh, she’s just got out of prison, give her a break!"
Sally wouldn’t reveal the fate of her character, and while she also kept tight lipped when it comes to the villain behind the upcoming disaster, she did admit she hopes it isn’t Ben Price’s alter ego Nick Tilsley.
She added: "I really don’t know who the super villain is. There was a teaser it’s Nick but I don’t want it to be Nick. He’s so sensible so I don’t want it to be him."
Meanwhile, the 55-year-old actress – who joked her own character would be "too daft" to have an evil edge to her – added that the factory collapse is "a massive deal" for the show and life on the cobbles for the residents.
She said: "The factory is quite the central to ‘Corrie’. It’s in the middle of Coronation Street, so to have something like this happen next door to Gail and next door to the garage and opposite the pub and with everyone involved, it’s a massive deal."
