About time too Sarah managed to come home to visit her family especially after the bad times the Platts have been through. Before you all say 'it's only a soap', I know that, but it is supposed to be fairly true to life and I believe in normal every day life family members would visit from time to time and she's only living in Italy. Last time I checked they still have planes there!
If the actress didn't want to come back into the soap then producers/writers or whoever could have brought a new actress in.
Should be good with her in but as Kylie will be on maternity leave probably around then the 2 characters may have to wait a while to meet up.
I don't think it was that she didn't want to return but her personal history with Ryan Thomas could of been the issue, apparently she was at one point a couple years ago was in talks to reprise her role but he discouraged her, they broke up not long afterwards but they seem in be on good terms now days so might be easier for them to work in the same environment.
She's just had a baby about a week ago in real life - I'd have thought it would be a wrench to be away from a newborn.
Tbf, she doesn't even start filming until next year, (probably Feb), ready for Sarah Lou's on screen appearance in Spring (Apr?), so no biggie there. Plenty of mums don't get that luxury.
I am really pleased with this news. However under current producer and current team in charge it could be another character given poor storylines. Hopefully ITV axe SB before he gets his hands on too much of the storylines for next year and the next producer can improve on them.
That's the fear, which would mean that her returning would be judged a complete failure, even though it might have little to do with the character per se and everything to do with not knowing what to do with the character in the first place.

Or, just for once, we could stop pre-judging everything months in advance and wait and see.
Really great news - been waiting a long time for this, tbh. 7 years without Sarah there was just too long. Had always thought her return was fairly inevitable, at some point :-)
Maybe with Kylie being out at the time Sarah Lou returns was one of the main motivating factors for bringing back Sarah. The gap that Kylie leaves in the Platt household which Sarah will then fill. With Callum possibly hanging around, there could be a story there.
Whatever the reasons (whether it be Kylie's temporary exit & there being a gap to fill or not, who knows) this is very good and long overdue news for the Street, the Platts & all the fans, who've been wanting such a great character back for years.
Just hope (as has been mentioned) that TPTB don't mess it up. As long as they don't, it's a sure sign of potential improvement for Corrie down the track, with some good stuff on the way for the Platts (and everyone else who they interact with - these being lots of different characters, of course).
This is something to really look forward to, apparently - and finally. Surprising news in a way to come out like this (in a good way) but also surprising that Sarah coming back took so long to actually materialise :-)

Where are they both going to live? Not in the Platt house surely?

It's annoying that they're doing the generic "wild child" route with her, but will be good to see Sarah back

Bethany...Not to be confused with Beth.
I agree.
Scary to think Bethany's older than Faye.
Don't say that

:-) :-) :-)
......I think
Well said! Totally agree!
I'm sure that when she left she vowed never to return
Who next, Becky (Katherine Kelly)
Personally I like her though.
Did Candice leave before Sarah the last time? Or after?
