I hope so.

Will be interesting to see the dynamic between Leanne, Toyah and Eva.

Can't imagine Toyah is going to tolerate Eva.

Wonder if they'll refer to the previous storyline where Maria stole Toyah's boyfriend from her?
I really hope it doesn't jeopardise Leanne's relationship with Eva or Eva becomes jealous because I've grown to love them as sisters. Eva and Leanne have been great to watch over the past couple of years, two sisters that are hopeless in love lol.

Yeah it will be interesting how Toyah and Maria react to each other after all these years.

Very Muchly Agreed

Les was Corrie's worst ever Character.

Great move on Corrie's part. Georgia has proven herself to be a fantastic actress, even more-so since leaving Corrie. I hope her talents aren't wasted.

I might tune back in for that. Toyah grew into a great character and the actress was great.

Not before time!

Georgia was fantastic in Casualty too. Great news and *hopefully* Kate Oates will give our Toyah a job away from t'Street.
What's Toyah's career been in these intervening years wherever it is she's been living, do we know? (And don't please some wiseguy say "junior doctor" )

Great news!

With Toyah and Peter and the other Barlows back the cast is going to be that bit stronger. I wouldn't mind Janice coming back too! Now to axe a bit of deadwood?

Great news. A lot of characters are returning which will help bolster the cast. Now we just need Janice, Rosie, Gina Seddon, Dennis Tanner and Martin Platt.

I also think there will be a fair few exits coming up; Michael, Andy, Steph, Luke, Izzy, Caz, Chesney and Sinead.

This. Corrie will look much stronger if they ged rid of the deadwood. It will give the sow a chance to breath. Having so much deadwood just fees like the show it being held back.

I mean what is the point of Sinead and Chesney any more? What was the point of Sinead to start with?

I won't argue with you on that one!! Could a joint one for him & Cilla be arranged?

I quite like Sinead - they just need to unshackle her from Chesney.

If she must come back, even for a short time, I hope she's been recast.

Agreed!! Sinead was lovely when she first arrived!! She only became boring after being paired with Chesney!!

You've clearly not read the article.

It'll be nice to see Leanne interacting with her real family again after the Price fiasco. I wonder if the retconned Stella will even be mentioned?

I'd rather Les didn't return too, as somebody suggested. He was irritating by the end. I think the actor has burnt his bridges with the show anyway. I wouldn't mind seeing Janice again though.

I haven't seen much of Georgia Taylor so I'm quite happy about her returning. I take it you aren't too impressed with her as an actress then?

Wasn't this confirmed a while back? The cast obviously has to expand to fill 6 shows a week but where will they all live and work?

Interested to see how Toyah is now

It was rumoured a while ago but it wasn't officially confirmed

Georgia's a good actress, although imo this was demonstrated more in her role in Casualty, and quite a few fans have wanted to see Toyah back for a while so this is a coup for the show.

It might just get Leanne out of the rut she's been stuck in for years. I'm going to be tuning in out of interest and it's been a while since I've thought 'I'll tune in for that' about Corrie. Usually, I just catch an ep every month or so to check if it's still awful (apart from Kylie's death and the immediate aftermath the answer is usually yes).
