Corrie star Alison King lands new movie role
On Coronation Street, Alison King has been busy filming lots of exciting scenes as her character Carla looks set to form one half of Swarla.
With Carla about to make a move on Lisa Swain at long last this week, it looks like Corrie filming isn’t the only thing Alison’s been working on.
According to Alison’s IMDB page, the soap star will appear in an upcoming movie called Dirty Truckers. She’ll play the part of Ella in the comedy based film.
The movie is currently in pre-production, with the plot involving a group of ‘unemployed British truck drivers in the 1980s who resort to illegal activities.’
But, with Alison working on this new project away from Coronation Street, what does this mean for Carla?
