Julia Goulding wants Shona Ramsey to have a fling with Abi Franklin.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress has opened up as her alter ego has returned to the cobbles with no memory of her time on the cobbles or her marriage with David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) and the 35-year-old star wouldn’t rule out a romance with Sally Carman’s character.
She said: "I would love to rekindle the relationship she has with Billy [Mayhew]. As you all know, Dan (Brocklebank) is a very good friend anyway.
"But I like Billy and Shona’s relationship because he helps her, and she is cheeky with him and stuff. Romance wise, [David] is all I’ve ever known on the street.
"Potentially, I would love to work more with Sally Carman. So maybe we could look into maybe making a ‘Shabi’ – Shona and Abi – relationship. But I think she is quite busy with Kevin [Webster]."
Julia was back on set four a few weeks before lockdown started amid the coronavirus pandemic, and while she was delighted to get back to work she is delighted to be spending time with her family.
The soap star and her husband Ben Silver welcomed their son Franklin into the world in November last year and she is making the most of their "extra time" together.
She added: "It’s been really nice having this extra time, looking at the positives in everything that is going on at the moment. It’s been nice having this extra time with Franklin.
"He’s just got his first two bottom teeth and he’s starting to eat and stuff. He’s a delight. He really is.
"Even if he’s not sleeping properly, which generally he does, but he’s always absolutely delightful. He makes my life so much. He’s five months old. It’s ridiculous."
