Coronation Street’s Tina O’Brien films with Antony Cotton, Chris Gascoyne and Daniel Brocklebank

There was mystery in the air when a group of Coronation Street favorites were photographed at a country hotel to film mystery scenes.

Tina O’Brien, 39, who plays Sarah Platt, led the arrivals in a gray Central Perk tracksuit from Friends brand under a long red puffer coat.

Her hair was styled in loose curls and she wore ruby ​​red lipstick before filming her scenes.

She was joined by Antony Cotton, 47, famous for playing the hapless bartender Sean Tully, who was also bundled up against the cold in a blue puffer coat.

She looked a little sad as she carried her lunch in her hand in a brown paper bag.

Sean was followed by Chris Gascoyne, 55, who plays Peter Barlow, who was dressed in a smart blue suit and had a briefcase in hand.

And finally, Sean’s former partner Billy Mayhew, played by 43-year-old Daniel Brocklebank, was also seen wearing a brown jacket over a gray suit.

The scenes (which could be a wedding scene) are likely to feature Daniel at the center because he recently said that his character will be part of a “meaty story.”

The actor teased big scenes to come in 2023, in a story that will play out over at least 12 to 18 months.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said: “We’re just at the start of a pretty big story for Billy, so I’m looking forward to the next 12-18 months.”

Teasing that it could involve exes Todd Grimshaw or Paul Foreman, he said, “Well, maybe you’re pleased, maybe you’re not.” I don’t know, I literally can’t give anything away!

He continued: ‘I’m in my ninth year here now. I have never worked anywhere for more than two years, ever. I’ve been doing this for a living for almost 30 years, but this is by far the longest I’ve worked anywhere. I love it here, I love it here.

He joked that he hopes they don’t kill him because he has a ‘mortgage to pay’.
