‘Coronation Street’ star Elle Mulvaney would be up for a switch to rival ITV soap ‘Emmerdale’.
Elle Mulvaney has teased she could make the switch from Coronation Street to Emmerdale in the future
The 20-year-old actress joined 'Corrie' as Amy Barlow in 2010 when she was just seven years old and has been handed a series of major storylines, including a teenage pregnancy and most recently a harrowing rape ordeal.
But Elle admits she could imagine herself making the switch from the Cobbles of Weatherfield to the Yorkshire Dales, one day.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “I love ‘Emmerdale’, I really do love 'Emmerdale' but I’m a 'Corrie' girl so I'm torn.
“I mean who knows, if the village is ready for Amy B then I'm on my way! I'll be down the Woolpack pulling a pint in no time.
“I don’t know honestly. I love 'Corrie', 'Corrie' is my home and Leeds is a bit far, isn’t it? Especially being a Manchester girl.”
Despite being a fan of 'Emmerdale, Elle adores being a part of the famous Barlow family but she is realistic to accept that things could change and in the future Amy - whose parents are Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) and Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) - could even be written out.
She said: “Obviously I don’t know what the future holds but I can’t even think of leaving.
“I love it where I work, I love what I get to do, I love the storylines we get given, I love the people I work with.”
In May, Elle celebrated getting a National Television Award nomination for her performances during the storyline which saw her alter ego Amy be assaulted by her boyfriend Aaron Sandford (James Craven), who has now left Weatherfield.
The storyline saw Amy passed out after a drunken kiss with Aaron and then not able to consent to having sex with him.
Elle was "pleased" with the reaction of viewers to the scenes and how the plot had sparked debate about consent.
She previously told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I am so pleased conversations have started to happen since this story first aired.
“The response on social media has been insane, and a lot of people have confided in me.
“They have come forward about their own experiences, saying, ‘This has happened to me too,’ and I’ve been really touched they have. At the same time, I find it horrifying it is so common.
“Mums have told me it has made them want to have a conversation with their son about consent.
“The more teenagers that know about this, the less it is likely to happen.”
