I've had a fantastic time at 'Coronation Street,' and I'm chuffed at the reaction to Becky. It's been this lovely redemption story, and I think that's what the viewers have enjoyed about it.

That's the great thing about 'Corrie': it is an ensemble cast, and it didn't rest on one person's shoulders by any means.

Maybe having to pretend to be in love with someone and then jump into bed with them breaks the ice very quickly; friendship follows fast.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
