Marsh told Inside Soap magazine: "She wants to kill him! She's so angry and ashamed, especially as he seems more concerned about the drugs than the fact he's been caught taking them.
"He drops them on the floor and scurries to pick them up. It all gets too much for Michelle. She feels like an idiot and begins to see Ryan as a stranger."
Marsh confirmed that Michelle goes as far as to report his drug use to police, with the 36-year-old arguing that "she's in a state of panic and doesn't know what else to do".
She added: "Michelle takes no nonsense and wants to show people she isn't shying away from her problems. She's tackling them head on.
"Her biggest fear is that Ryan's putting himself in danger, risking everything - including his life."

Terrible, terrible acting!!! Posh, public schoolboy to play a Mancunian!?! He's a poor carbon copy of Nathan Wilde in Emmerdale! Very unbelievable character!! Stick with Carla's brother - instantly believable, feels as if he has been in it for years! :)

Carla's brother is one of the worst casting cases in television. He is an extremely short bloke, trying to look big by puffing his chest out. He is about as threatening as Minnie Mouse. He looks absolutely nothing like her, infact they could not be any further apart. She has large eyes, and an almost italian look. He has half-shut beady eyes, a ridiculous bottom lip that sticks out when he talks, and could even pass for a woman trying to play a man as he is so petite and unmasculine looking, which probably explains why he has the constant stubble. A joker if ever there was one. He ought to be in pantomimes....

I like Carla's brother - sexy voice. I think Ryan should go - he is absolutely horrible and not good looking at all

Even if they did bring back the "proper" Ryan people would have still complained..

Maybe the drugs have aged him. He does look to old to be her son. Shame corrie are normally very true to the characters.
