Colson Smith has hinted at taking on 'new opportunities' as things get interesting for his Coronation Street character. The actor is best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap who has had a complicated start to the year after he had to quit his beloved job as a PC after helping cover up his girlfriend Faye Windass and her pal Emma Brooker's secret.
The pair were horrified at the start of this year when driving back from a New Year's Eve party learner Faye knocked over an elderly gentleman, known only as Ted. While the man got back up and they safely returned him home for a brew, they later returned to the flat and found him dead before entering into a blunder-filled cover-up.
