“Coronation Street” Natalie Gumede: Kirsty’s mask will slip

OHMYGOSSIP — Coronation Street star Natalie Gumede has confirmed that her character Kirsty Soames’s true nature will be exposed regardless of how Tyrone’s trial plays out. Show bosses are keeping tight-lipped over whether Tyrone (Alan Halsall) is found guilty or not guilty when he faces Kirsty’s false domestic violence allegations in court later this month.

However, Gumede told All About Soap that Kirsty will be experiencing a backlash either way as the street’s residents begin to realise that Tyrone was the victim all along.

Gumede explained: “Everyone she used to work with will know what happened one way or another, and she’s going to be the enemy on the street.

“She doesn’t fully realise what she’s capable of, and for her that means the game’s up. I can’t reveal too much about what happens next – only that it’s a fitting end for Kirsty, for now at least! You’ll have to watch!”

Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) will be one of the first to see Kirsty’s nasty side after helping her out with childcare by offering to babysit.

When Julie has to leave baby Ruby in Sally’s care unexpectedly one afternoon, Kirsty is furious that her friend has let her down.

Speaking to Soaplife, Gumede added: “Kirsty’s incensed at Julie and at Sally. Julie comes back and Kirsty loses her temper and she throws a cup across the room. And that’s when the mask starts to slip.”

Gumede filmed her final Coronation Street scenes at the end of last month.
