Todd Carty 'eyes Emmerdale or Corrie role'
07/01/2012 - 11:59
Former EastEnders star Todd Carty has jokingly admitted that he would love a role in Emmerdale or Coronation Street.
The 48-year-old actor, who played Mark Fowler in Albert Square for 13 years until 2003, is currently starring in the West End musical Spamalot, but told Inside Soap magazine he would be keen to do more soaps in the future.
"I'm happy where I am just now. But if Emmerdale or Corrie ever need a cockney geezer, they've got my number!" he said.
He also revealed that his EastEnders fame still gets him recognised, even though it nearly a decade since he left the soap.
"I find it funny when kids on my sons' football teams ask me if I was in EastEnders," he said.
"It's been 10 years since I played Mark, and most of them weren't born then, so they couldn't know. Then I'll spot a mum in the background watching me, looking a bit red-faced because I've managed to find her out!"
