Corrie's Sue Johnston: 'Gloria could return'
Quote:
Former Coronation Street star Sue Johnston has revealed that she wouldn't rule out a future return to the show. Loved Gloria, so this is good news. Maybe under a new producer Michelle Collins would feel happy returning; Blackburn clearly hates her so she was right to get out for a while at that point!
The actress played Gloria Price on the ITV soap from September 2012 to February this year, when her outspoken character left the cobbles to go travelling. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine this morning (April 30), Johnston admitted that she misses working on the show. She explained: "I miss particularly the people - the crew and the cast. I had so much fun and met so many lovely people. It's a lovely, lovely job." Asked whether Gloria could return, Johnston replied: "Yes. She flits. My grandchildren are still there. She flits around and she's not stable!" |

I wasn't a fan of Gloria but if they want to bring Sue Johnston back they need to spruce up the character, give her better writing and tone her down, in my opinion.

Please no! I'm glad that her and Stella are gone. Blackburn was right to get them out of the pub, they never worked as well as Liz and co.

I loved Gloria and I loved the outfits they put her in. I hope SB goes soon and they have her back. I only wish Stephanie Cole would come back too. I think they both must've seen what was coming in SB and left the sinking ship.

Nothing against Sue Johnston but I hope the character never returns, the character failed in my opinion. |

I liked Sylvia, but Gloria was completely unlikable. Lied about dying, was using Eric, not very pleasant to anyone. And I doubt Stephanie left because of SB, she was planning on leaving anyway but left early due to a family grievance. Plus they had a lot lined up with her with Roy Cropper during the Hayley storyline.
Nothing against Sue Johnston but I hope the character never returns, the character failed in my opinion. The writers seemed to be trying to hard to make us like her. Which is a shame because I've liked Sue in everything else I've seen her in. |

I would love to see her back. I wonder what she would make of Leanne and Kal?

Sue Johnston is a good actress but Gloria was an awful character- a big flop.

I thought the whole point was that Gloria wasn't meant to be tied down in one place for too long so why would she leave her new high flying life to go back to Weatherfield?

As is always the case all she needed was better material. We hardly got to see her softer side. |

Why did Stephanie Cole leave so quickly??
Could anybody in the know tell me why the actress left so quickly from the show?? All that guff about being unable to cope with Hayley's illness etc etc...was not her character at all!! Posters are alluding to having differences with other cast members? Thought it was very strange at the time!! She would have been at the funeral!! What other storylines did they have for her and Roy??
Many thanks |

She would probably make a play for him, or his dad, or both.

I'm actually surprised that she liked playing the character because she was so bad! As others have said, Sue is an excellent actress but Gloria was a terrible character!

I can imagine Rita Tanner keeping a baseball bat behind her counter especially for her return

I would love to see her AND Stella back, personally. I loved them in the Rovers!

Sue Johnston is a brilliant actress but Gloria was nothing more than a pathetic cartoon character. Shallow, selfish, uncaring and unlikeable. What a waste of a great acting talent. Nice going, writers!
![]() I'd have Sylvia back any day - now there was a multi-faceted character. Really wish Stephanie Cole hadn't left.
