Coronation Street bosses are hoping to bring back one of the street’s favourite characters next year.
Producer Stuart Blackburn was speaking to Digital Spy about the return of Bill Roache and Michael Le Vell when he revealed the plans.
“I’m delighted to see both those characters back… Even prior to all of that happening, we did start making plans for the return of another popular character, so there is another one on the way. I won’t say who yet as it’s still to be signed, sealed and delivered, but we do have plans.”
He explained: “Our policy on returning characters is that we’ll only do it when it’s important for story. Returns can be overdone and we wouldn’t just do it to grab a few headlines, but we’ll do it when it’s right to.”
Blackburn also revealed that this year's Christmas storyline will focus on the Platts: “It’s going to be massive and life-changing for the Platts as there’ll be a revelation that knocks David for six and will change everything for him.”
Ooh, we can't wait!
