Inside Coronation Street newcomer's acting past including stint on rival soap
Coronation Street fans have been introduced to newcomer Fiona Morley, but it's not her first time on a soap set – here's where viewers may have seen actress Sara Poyzer before There's another new arrival in Weatherfield, as Coronation Street fans have been introduced to Fiona Morley. Despite being a newcomer on the cobbles, fans may have seen actress Sara Poyzer before. In tonight's episode, fans see her interact with her ex Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) following his split from fiancé Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney). It was previously reported that the character would be seen revealing her 'dodgy dealings' to Ronnie, and will offer him a business proposition; to sell stolen cars for a vast sum of money. It's not just Ronnie Fiona will be involved with, however, as Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) wants in on her corrupt car business, as he reveals he will start selling the cars through his brother Kevin Webster's (Michael Le Vell) garage. On-screen, it seems like Sara's character Fiona will become busy by being involved in some dodgy dealings. Off-screen, the actress has been busy on the West End, and various other TV shows. ABBA fans will know the star for her ten year stint as Donna Sheridan on the West End stage in Mamma Mia. Radio listeners will also know her as being a staple in BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers in the role of Leonie Schnell. Hardcore soap fans, however, may remember Sara for her short stints in BBC soaps EastEnders and Casualty. In 2013, Sara appeared in the Casualty episode What a Wonderful Life, as Lynne Shields. She's also starred in EastEnders twice. Once in a guest role as character Penny in 2002, and more recently as DS Sally Grant in 2013. During the 4 November episode that year, Sara's character interviewed Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) about the murder of Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), as she charged her with the murder. Elsewhere, Sara has starred in Doctors, Cast Offs, Paradise Reclaimed, Dangerville, Dangerfield, Playing the Field, Peak Practice, Crossroads and The Pilot of Ordinary People. In 2019, she also starred in Doctor Who: The Legacy of Time. Back to the cobbles and spoilers for next week hint at trouble. Next week, Carl will be seen continuing his dodgy dealings with Fiona, while their meeting leaves Abi Franklin clearly jealous despite her being married to Carl's brother Kevin Webster. How will it all play out?

The bizarre reason Russia wants to ban Shrek and other beloved animations
Shrek is having a 'destructive impact' on children, according to Russian lawmakers. In a roundtable discussion on Monday, several films, toys and games were accused of being vehicles through which Western countries are 'indoctrinating' Russian children. A slideshow was presented by State Duma deputy Yana Lantratova, which showed 'good' Soviet-era children's films and toys in contrast to characters originating from Western countries, with Shrek, the Grinch and Monsters Inc. mentioned. 'They don't seem bad, but they have both physical and personality flaws,' said Lantratova of Western characters including ogre Shrek, according to a report from the Moscow Times. 'Gradually, with the infiltration of Western culture, characters began to appear who embodied negative traits but were elevated to the status of positive characters,' the outlet report one slide read, continuing: 'The image of the purely positive character began to fade.' Sergei Mironov, leader of political party A Just Russia, accused the West of waging a 'hybrid war' via childrens' entertainment, citing the adage: 'If you want to defeat the enemy, raise their children.' 'Unfortunately, [Western countries] are very actively engaged in indoctrinating our children,' he said, as per the outlet. Lantratova, also a member of the minority political party, said unclear laws were stopping authorities from blocking Western-made children's content. More Trending This comes after Russia passed a bill banning content – which it labelled 'propaganda' – promoting child-free ideologies, as Vladimir Putin attempts to encourage women to have children to counteract the country's dwindling birthrate. Content violating this rule may face fines up to 400,000 rubles (£3,724) for individuals and up to 5 million rubles ($46,000) for officials and legal entities. In 2023, Russia ruled that the 'international LGBT movement' was an extremist organisation, and passed a law banning so-called 'propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations'. All these laws are part of the Kremlin's push towards what it calls 'traditional' or 'pro-family' values. Got a story?

New Brit star takes the lead in race to be James Bond as flurry of bets are placed on him after 007 ‘clue'
There's another Brit hunk hot on his heels race is on New Brit star takes the lead in race to be James Bond as flurry of bets are placed on him after 007 'clue' A NEW Brit star has taken the lead in the race to become the next James Bond after a huge 007 'clue'. Speculation over who will replace Daniel Craig in the iconic role has been heating up, and bookies have slashed odds on one actor following a flurry of bets. 3 Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the latest favourite to bag the 007 role Credit: Getty 3 Speculation over who will replace Daniel Craig is heating up Credit: Universal Pictures 3 Theo James is another favourite for the gig Credit: FilmMagic Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been backed to step into 007's shoes by a surge of bets this week. Coral's John Hill said: 'Aaron Taylor-Johnson has jumped to the top of our next James Bond betting following a surge of bets behind him in the last 24 hours. 'The British actor has been linked to the role in the past, but this is the biggest wave of interest we have seen behind him since we opened betting on Daniel Craig's replacement.' Last week Aaron, 34, fuelled rumours he's bagged the role after signing a deal with Omega - the brand of watch the 007 spy wears. Omega has been supplying timepieces to the iconic literary and movie character since the release of 1995 flick, Golden Eye. The Sun told last year how Aaron had been offered the job - with insiders saying at the time Eon Productions were keen to snap him up. A source said: 'Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it. 'The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back. 'As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.' But hot on Aaron's heels is fellow Brit hunk Theo James who - before Aaron's surge of bets - overtook former favourite Henry Cavill earlier this month. James Bond expert drops huge hint about new 007 actor after he starred in movie with huge A-list actress Speaking last week, Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'Henry Cavill's return to the head of the Bond betting didn't last long, with Theo James as short as anyone has been to pick up the world's most famous licence to kill.'
