Coronation Street: Who should return?
Coronation Street: Who should return?
Despite all Blackburn’s faults, we have had some decent returns under his watch; Liz, Todd, JennyBradley and Sarah. Kate Oates has stated that she’s open to bringing back some familiar faces so who should be top of her list? One of Corrie’s strengths has always been the longevity of its cast although it could be argued that some of them have overstayed their welcome (Sean, Fiz, Dev). I’m all for returns that will strengthen the core families and characters of the Street. It has become slightly fragmented due to the exits of various characters over the past few years. The Platts are arguably the only strong family unit currently on the show. I have included many of the characters who have been touted for a return. I’d love for some classic characters like Bet and Mavis to make recurring appearances with Rita. It’d be great if Bet was given a ‘Peggy Mitchell’ send-off. Dennis Tanner also needs to come back, he was treated despicably. This show has such a strong history and it is sad to see it full of so many stale characters {many not worth saving}. Get your axe out Kate. Bring back some great characters and create some fresh new ones. This show has been in the doldrums for too long! If there are characters who you’d like to return but who have not been included on the poll, please state below. |

Peter Barlow. Where did he go? I liked him and Chris Gascoyne is a great actor
Kylie's sister Becky. I wanna see how similar to Kylie she was. I don't mean in looks, they look nothing like each other, but in personality. I didn't watch the show when she was in it you see Edit: oh crap just seen Peter is on the poll already

Martin Platt. His absence is so unrealistic.

Went for Toyah, Kirsty, Peter, Rosie and Graeme.
Dream ones would be Becky and Mad Maya. |

I think the most important are Peter, Rosie and one of either Janice or Toyah, or both. They've all got bags of story potential waiting for them.
Kirsty would be good to give terminally dull Tyrone and Fiz a boost in the short term. Jeez, even Jackie Dobbs would do that. I've always wanted a big Barlow extension, firstly with all the existing Barlows that are floating out there making their presence known. It's something that should be acted upon while Ken's still around I feel. Returns like Claudia and Ted would cause little bother, and could be nice. I'll throw another name into the mix though - Martha Fraser. I adored Ken and Martha, he deserves the happiness she'd bring to his life, and having Stephanie Beacham back would be the stuff of dreams. |

Ken and Martha would make more sense than Ken and Audrey.
I voted for Peter but the writing would need to be stronger for him than it was in his last years. |

Claudia Colby by far! She is the only character on the list I actually miss as there was so much more they could do with her. I also picked Toyah because she is a good actress again with story potential and Kirsty just to be horrible to Tyrone and Fiz! I think a longer break from Peter is needed, let another male character be the dramatic lead for a while.

I went Toyah, Martin Platt and Rosie.
I'm not keen on Peter and the Barlows just don't do much for me these days I expected Natasha to return with Nick's child somewhere down the line but maybe not now |

If I was producer I would move heaven & earth to get Toyah back!! So much potential for a character who left far too early!!
Martin would be great but not gonna happen unless it's a recast, similarly Sylvia would be great but don't see Stephanie Cole returning!! Peter will return I think, before too much longer & i would probably bring Sian back to Sophie & have them set up some sort of busness together or something!! Not necessarily long term but I'd love a return from Candice for a few episodes, likewise Natasha!! That's probably about it really & tbh I would happily settle for just Toyah & Peter!! |

I think Rosie will make a comeback at some point. Wish Sylvia would return.........even for a short cameo. I like the Candice shout..........she was a decent 'comedy' character. ![]() Above all, I'd love to see Shelley running the Rovers. Much better than the drab Steve and Michelle. |

Toyah and Becky would be great, but I doubt we will see a Becky return. Peter if they don't make him an alcoholic again.

How can we forget Andy McDonald? He's probably the most talked about character on the show who hasn't been seen in 7 years!

Nikki Sanderson was a huge loss to the show, but nobody realised it at the time. |

One of the very, very best, who is still alive (90 now), the inimitable Hilda Ogden played by the wonderful Jean Alexander - if only for a couple of episodes to see Rita, Ken and the Rovers Return for one last time.
Now that I would just love to see. |

Don't forget the Websters - Hilda's closest connection to the street is actually through Sally and Kevin.
