Brought DD (12) up to Manchester on a coach trip to the coronation street tour. After the tour we took ourselves off to media city and walked to the back entrance of the new set.

Amazing timing as Chris Gascoigne was just leaving on foot.

DD thrilled. Got photos will try upload in a sec.

He was lovely had a nice chat. He leaves in a month (so not dead yet and apparently jim gets his comeuppance )

[lucjam]

Me and Chris

[lucjam]

Ops I've spelt his name wrong! Obvs meant Chris Gascoyne.

[AuntieStella]

That's lovely!

I didn't think he was being killed off. Hope not.

[Clawdy]

He looks SO nice!

[isitsnowingyet]

Great pic - I guess he must be dying - did you ask him?

[Cornflakesnmilk]

Gosh he's really quite fit! Nice pic.

[lucjam]

No I didn't ask him if he died. Not sure he would have told me spoliers. DD can't stop taking about it (and I'm still a bit giddy too)!

Lovely chap. There was no one else around at all and he knew we had spotted him. When he looked up he had a look of resignation in his eyes. I did say sorry you must get a bit sick of this etc and did thank him. I shook his hand as he walked away he turned back then asked for our names.

He is same height as me (5 foot 8) so a bit on the short side for me!

[DiaDuit]

Aw lovely photo! He looks so happy- not like his character at all!

[AnyFucker]

My daughter met him in the line of her work and said he was well fit

[Nancy66]

ohh phowarr - he looks a bit tasty there

[squoosh]

You look good together OP!

He's got a raggle taggle, gyspy vibe about him. Lovejoy without the blazers and antiques.

[lucjam]

Ohhh squoosh you've made feel all funny in my stomach!

[Onedropoflove]

I've always said he is gorgeous and none of you would believe me. Lovely photo.

[Ladytron]

What do you mean "leaves in a month". What? Never to return?
Great pic btw

Granada announced last year (?) that the actor was leaving Corrie at the end of this year. Depending on how far ahead they film, it might be getting towards the end of his time on set. They said at the time that it was going to be a big, dramatic storyline but that they weren't killing him off, but I haven't seen anything recently to indicate if they've changed their mind on that.
