"Coronation Street factory boss Carla Connor - played by Alison King - is all set to become Carla Gordon next week, as she prepares to marry her long-term life and business partner Tony Gordon (Gray O&amp;#039;Brien). However, following the death of Carla&amp;#039;s brother-in-law Liam (Rob James-Collier), she&amp;#039;s struggled to come to terms with the loss of her soul mate. Unaware that her fianc\u00E9 masterminded the murder, Carla prepares for her lavish no-expense-spared wedding. However, with so many Weatherfield residents with grudges, will their wedding go without hiccup? Here, DS chats to Alison about Liam, the wedding and her real-life pregnancy.  Will Carla ever be able to forgive herself for her final words to Liam? &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a good one. It&amp;#039;s a growing thing. She doesn&amp;#039;t know anything&amp;#039;s her fault. Nor does she know anything about Tony&amp;#039;s involvement. As far as Carla&amp;#039;s concerned, it was an accident. So in that way it&amp;#039;s tragic. Little does she know, had she changed those words and gone off with him, it could have saved his life.&amp;quot;  Was Liam Carla&amp;#039;s one true love, or does she love Tony but in a different way? &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think she does love Tony in the same way as she did Liam. Liam was somebody who she fell deeply in love with. Her first true love was Paul, Liam&amp;#039;s brother, and that was a commitment which came to her quite easily. Paul worshipped her. With Liam, though, it was a forbidden love. I think Carla feels safe with Tony, she just doesn&amp;#039;t know him as well. Carla loves him, but it&amp;#039;s more security. They spark together quite nicely, too.&amp;quot; Does Carla at this point suspect that Tony killed Liam? &amp;quot;No, she&amp;#039;s completely wrapped up in Liam and whether she&amp;#039;s going to go through with the wedding. It&amp;#039;s quite difficult remembering which wedding we&amp;#039;re at! It&amp;#039;s like Jesus, but instead, it&amp;#039;s before and after Liam! Carla&amp;#039;s just returned fresh from Los Angeles to make a new start with Tony and she realises that Tony didn&amp;#039;t deserve all what she did with Liam. As far as Carla&amp;#039;s concerned, she told Maria to go and have a happy life with Liam and the baby. Then when Liam died, Carla just had to go off and decide whether she could go through with her marriage to Tony or not.&amp;quot; So, during wedding week, Carla invites someone that Tony&amp;#039;s not expecting, doesn&amp;#039;t she? &amp;quot;Yeah, she invites Tony&amp;#039;s brother Pat. Jamie [Lee], who plays him is wicked. Pat turns up and nearly throws a spanner in the works. Tony&amp;#039;s left thinking whether he&amp;#039;s going to get away with what he&amp;#039;s done. He&amp;#039;s worried who Pat&amp;#039;s going to end up speaking to throughout the day. Then Tony worries what stories he&amp;#039;s told, what lies he&amp;#039;s told. I don&amp;#039;t think he can even remember what lies he&amp;#039;s told and in what order. Tony&amp;#039;s bricking it, while Carla&amp;#039;s completely oblivious and says she wants to see more of Pat! Carla&amp;#039;s really trying to do the right thing by Tony now. She&amp;#039;s trying to move forward.&amp;quot; Does she switch her wedding dress from the one she romped with Liam in? &amp;quot;Yeah. I think she feels that it&amp;#039;d be a bit bad, what with Liam having been under the old one!&amp;quot; Is the wedding trouble-free? Do they make it down the aisle? &amp;quot;Carla&amp;#039;s completely unaware as to what Tony&amp;#039;s going through, while she just has a lovely day. Essentially, you&amp;#039;re left wondering whether all of those loose ends will end up in a knot anywhere along the line. There are so many people that could ruin the day - Sally, Kevin, Rosie, Maria, Pat... And even though Jed&amp;#039;s not there, he could easily barge in. It&amp;#039;s a case of will they actually make it down the aisle? If they do, will they make it to their honeymoon? Or will something happen just before they leave?&amp;quot; It must be fun filming weddings because it gets most of the cast in one place! &amp;quot;Yeah, it does. They&amp;#039;re also really long and tedious! They have to get everyone&amp;#039;s reaction on camera, while I&amp;#039;m wearing a really uncomfortable dress for three days! At the start you feel like a princess, but by the end, you just want to burn it! It was a wicked dress, though.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;re expecting a baby. You must be excited about becoming a new mum? &amp;quot;Yeah, I&amp;#039;m big and fat at the minute. I&amp;#039;m just getting fatter. It&amp;#039;s a competition between my boobs, my bump and my ass! I think my bum&amp;#039;s slightly ahead at the minute! I&amp;#039;m just really tired at the moment. Everybody&amp;#039;s been great, though. I just have to remember to put my feet up between scenes. It looks a bit weird on set - I get myself into some ridiculous positions, like on my hands and knees and I end up apologising to people, saying &amp;#039;sorry, I&amp;#039;ve got wind!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Have they had to start covering your lower half up yet? &amp;quot;Yeah, they do and they don&amp;#039;t but it&amp;#039;s getting a bit ridiculous now, though. I look like Humpty Dumpty with leggings.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Click for more from Alison King in Soap Scoop "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
