The British Isles Show is on at the Exhibition Centre in Toronto right now. Every year there’s an appearance by a different cast member from Coronation Street, who joins the show as a special guest so people can line up for the opportunity to have their photo taken with one of the Corrie cast. This year we had Michale Le Vell (a.k.a. the Street’s motor mechanic, Kevin Webster) in town, so we went to the show yesterday after work (sorry Ricky, last minute decision, no time to call you!) to see if we could maybe invite him out for a beer or two after the show.
Yeah, right – what were we thinking?
By the time we got there, the organisers had closed the line-up, so we were left stranded on the other side of the cordon with no hope of having a chat to Michael/Kevin. Instead, we had to settle for second best and creep up to the waist-high fence separating the stars from the rest of the crowd, and sneak a couple of shots with M/K schmoozing and signing autographs in the background.
But I’m not bitter (well, maybe a little). I guess it just wasn’t meant to be – the Rover’s Return regular missed out on the opportunity of knocking back a few Canadian beers with two Old York regulars.
Not that he would’ve joined us anyway. He’d probably have thought we were freaks for even asking him out in the first place!
