Michelle Keegan has said she would love EastEnders star Scott Maslen to defect from Albert Square and join the cast of Coronation Street. The 25-year-old actress, who plays Tina McIntyre, told the Radio Times that Scott - who plays Jack Branning in EastEnders - would be a welcome addition to the soap. "Oh, I love Scott! I wouldn't mind if they did!" Michelle said. And while her screen alter ego tackles a storyline in which Tina aims to become a surrogate mother, Michelle expressed her hopes for the partnership between her character and Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain) - saying she hoped it could be rescued. "I like Tina and Tommy together. I think they really suit each other," she said. "Hopefully the writers won't split them up for good because the public really likes them together, too. Fingers crossed." And she added that she would be tuning in to the Christmas episode of the show. "Yes, it's a tradition, isn't it?" Michelle admitted. "Open your presents in the morning, get ready, go and see relatives, come home, have Christmas dinner and then chill out round the TV and watch Corrie. That's just the way it is."
