By Friday I start to lose my stranglehold on what day is where and which is whose -...

After yesterday's Julie Carp-esque shopping spree, Katy Cavanagh dons the dress for Colin Grimshaw's (Edward de Souza) 70th birthday bash, during which a huge family secret is revealed. Here, Katy gives us a sneak peek into her hectic day filming in Day Three of her 'Week In The Life Of...' feature. 7am: Cup of tea, bowl of Shreddies, big blow dry and a little lippy later, I arrived on set to celebrate Colin's 70th birthday. Always a bit surreal shooting party scenes first thing in the morning. In the Rovers all day today, so lots of banter and general cheekiness especially as the scenes we're shooting are really traumatic. 10am: Bit of a break in the green room. The lovely Craig Kelly made me a cup of tea in a borrowed mug - mine has never reappeared. Probably best not to dwell on that, only a mug after all.

With her mug still nowhere to be seen and plenty of marathon training to be done, Katy Cavanagh embarks on her fourth diary day for Digital Spy. 8am: Tired this morning. Arrived at work and went straight into make-up. Decided to experiment with Julie's hair today - mini beehive with a clip at the back. Made me laugh which is always a good sign. Feeling the effects of my run last night but at least I can walk - even if I do have two enormous blisters on my insoles. Ouch!! 11am: Grabbed a banana for some energy and was called onto set in Stage One to shoot some scenes with Paula and Eileen. Complex scenes but I think we got the measure of them after some intense discussions with each other and the director. So lucky to be working with Sue and Sharon - they're both really talented and experienced actresses.

After a busy one yesterday, Katy Cavanagh returns to blog about her next hectic day filming on the cobbles of Britain's most famous street. Today, Katy goes shopping, films on a new set and has a good chat with her screen mum Sharon Duce. Katy tells us more in Day Two.... 6.45am: Arrived at work bleary-eyed and went straight into make-up. Can't usually string a sentence together until 8am but managed to swap toddler stories with Caroline, my make-up artist, who also made me a piece of toast because I forgot to eat something when I left the house. She's lovely! Looked over my scenes. 8.15am: First scene of the day in the living room of the Rovers with Eileen and Jason. Never worked on this set before, so it felt quite strange. I'm so used to the Battersbys. It's good strange, though, because Julie certainly wasn't feeling comfortable and at home there!

Katy Cavanagh first appeared in Coronation Street as Julie Carp in April 2008 and quickly became a permanent fixture in Weatherfield when she moved in with her 'Kirky' and secured a job as an Underworld machinist and then supervisor. Producers are now bringing Julie to the forefront of the Manchester-based soap as her relationship with Kirk begins to wither and her mother Paula (Sharon Duce) appears on the cobbles and the shocking secret she's had stowed away for years. So what does a week in the life of a Corrie actor consist of? The lovely Katy Cavanagh reveals all in Day One of our first ever 'Week In The Life Of...' feature. 9am: Arrived at work, straight into makeup to get my Julie 'do'. Looked over my scenes for the day, on two units today. Got into my costume and chose my matching accessories - Julie spends a lot more...
