Nigel Havers could return to ‘Coronation Street’ as Lewis Archer’s twin.
The 68-year-old actor – who first appeared as the con man character from 2009 to 2010 before making a return from 2012 to 2013, and again in 2018 – is hopeful of a cobbles comeback, despite his alter-ego being killed off from a heart attack earlier this year.
Appearing on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Tuesday (12.11.19), he was asked about a possible return and said: "Yes – he obviously has a twin brother living in Australia."
When broadcaster Piers Morgan joked that "everybody comes back from the dead in soaps", Nigel added: "Yes. It is the normal thing."
The soap star has made no secret of his desire to head back to ‘Corrie’, and he admitted he is always open to any roles.
He recently said: "I’d always go back. I absolutely love doing it. The people are so nice, and the storylines are so amazing. It’s a joy to do … I call myself a letterbox actor, which means [I’ll do] anything that comes through the letterbox."
He has also revealed his wife didn’t enjoy watching him locking lips with co-star Sue Nicholls, who plays his on-screen flame Audrey Roberts in the ITV soap.
He explained: "I’ve been a snogger in my time – she’s not mad on me snogging Audrey, but I introduced them so it’s fine now."
And he previously said he stole a line from ‘James Bond’ star Sir Roger Moore when he was getting ready for intimate scenes with Sue.
He confessed: "Sue is a very good kisser if I may say. She is the most wonderful woman.
"Roger Moore always told me that he would say to the girl before a sex scene, ‘I want to apologise now if I get an erection’, then he would say, ‘And if I don’t…’ I said that to Sue, she laughed out of bed."
