Steve, Becky and Michelle - love triangle across the Corrie cobbles

I was hoping that the rumours about Steve and Becky having a "fling" in Coronation Street weren't true. I love Steve, and liked the way he was settling down to be a good family man with Michelle, her various sons and Amy.

But Kym Ryder confirms in this week's Inside Soap that Steve is indeed going to be tempted by the charms of the queen of the full English breakfast. "Steve's quite an insecure person, so he goes off and makes mistakes," is Kym's assessment of the situation. "Steve's going to have a fling with Becky Grainger. When Michelle finds out, I'm sure all hell will break loose. You never know, viewers might see her evil streak - she is a Connor, after all!"

Kym also mentions that she used to have a bit of a crush on Simon Gregson, who plays Steve. "I used to fancy Simon when Steve came on to the Street all those years ago. I thought he was quite cute."

Meanwhile, in Soaplife magazine, Ryan Thomas has been explaining that Jason sees Becky as being "like one of the lads," and that his heart is elsewhere. "Have you noticed he hasn't taken his wedding ring off yet?" he says. "I think you can read heaps into that. The sad truth is that if Sarah came back he wouldn't look twice at Becky."
