Corrie star Patti Clare warns there are “lots of secrets” as Mary is accused of abusing her grandson

She appeared on Lorraine

Coronation Street’s Mary Taylor is trying hard to make everything right with son Jude, but it just seems to always go wrong for her.

Actress Patti Clare appeared on Lorraine today to talk about the tough time Mary’s having – and how it’s not going to get any easier.

“I think it’s time to see another side of Mary, I think she’s earned it,” the actress revealed.

“The fact her wonderful son, Jude has arrived, it’s literally turned her world upside down, of course she’s out of her depth and of course she doesn’t know what she’s doing.”

“She seems like she’s acting from a good place?” Lorraine asked.

“She is, but she’s trying too hard,” Patti explained.

A clip from next week’s episodes was then played and we saw baby George end up in hospital again and Mary accused of hurting her own grandson.

But Patti wasn’t giving much away about what’s to come except to say:

“There’s a lot of secrets, everybody has their secrets, so there’s more to be revealed.”

Hmm, does that mean Mary’s hiding something? Or someone else is? Just what is wrong with little George?

One thing Patti was very enthusiastic about was working with Romeo, who plays her grandson.

“He’s gorgeous, so wonderful. He’s as bright as a button.”

She continued: “Vic, who plays Angie, she’s getting very broody!” Could we hear the pitter patter of tiny feet sometime soon then?

Patti also spoke about watching her co-star, Jennie McAlpine in the jungle, and revealed she’d never take part herself.

“No, it’s the creepy crawlies.

“I’d do Strictly – one, I love dancing, two, it seems you go on a life journey like Susan and Kevin, it’s wonderful.”

But with two of her other co-stars, Brooke Vincent and Antony Cotton taking part in Dancing On Ice, is Patti tempted by that show?

“No, that’s death! Well let’s not go there, but it’s very dangerous actually. Brooke and Antony are doing it, Brooke is taking it very seriously.”
