Coronation Street's David Nielson doesn't want character Tony Gordon to be killed off.
Tony is threatening his character Roy Cropper on the show after confessing all to him, but David doesn't want him to come to a grizzly end.
He told Inside Soap magazine: "They can't kill off Tony! The fascination with Roy and Tony could go on and on - I love the way they've connected."
He added: "If they're got rid of Tony, it would mean the loss of a really great Street character."
Unfortunately, Gray O'Brien who plays the crazed killer is set to leave the soap, but it is not yet known how.
David also revealed he thinks Tony and Roy have a lot in common.
He explained: "They both have similar traits. That said, Tony is a much more psychotic and single-minded! Roy likes to have things in order, and then he can deal with them. If anything goes wrong, Roy can't cope. He needs to be in control - but so does Tony.
"They're different sides of the same coin in that their mindset is quite similar.
"They're the only two people in the show that you could do this story with."

So, it’s about an old man flying away on an adventure by attaching a huge bunch of helium balloons to his house. Even for the talented craftspeople at Pixar, who successfully brought us a near-silent film about robots last year, this seems far-fetched. We needn’t have worried though. Up is the best Pixar film since Toy Story.

With Wimbledon 2009 in full swing, err… serve, the top tennis players from around the world are focused entirely on their game. As they run up and down the court screaming with exertion, the rest of us non-pros can't help but judge them on something other than their passing shots; that's right, how good looking they are.
