Coronation Street Actor Joins New Soap

Former Coronation Street star Johnny Briggs and The Full Monty star Hugo Speer are to join the cast of new ITV1 soap Echo Beach.

They will join Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon for Echo Beach.

Speer will play Mark Penwarden, who will stop at nothing to run his wife Susan's (McCutcheon) ex-lover Daniel Marrack (Donovan) out of their town while Briggs will play long-term resident Fin Morgan.

Other new names for the short-run soap - which is set in in the fictional town of Polnarren in Cornwall - include Ed Speelers, Marcus Patrick, Laura Greenwood, Jonathan Readwin and Naomi Ryan.

Hooray good for him. I`m so glad he has found other work.

So that means Mike Baldwin will now be in Echo Beach..?

[sallywebster]

Is Echo Beach going to be long running? Once source says its a soap but another says its 12 parts (or runs for 12 weeks) which implies drama.

I thought he said he never wanted to be in a soap again. ?

[RitaLittlewood]

Yeah well he said that after Crossroads. LOL!
