Catherine Tyldesley wants Corrie return one day

Catherine Tyldesley wants to return to ‘Coronation Street’ one day.
The 35-year-old actress departed her role as Eva Price last August after eight years on screen but thinks it would be "lovely" to return to Weatherfield at some point in the future.
Asked if she’d go back, she told Metro.co.uk: "Yeah, never say never! It was my home for a long time and I’d love to see Eva go back there at some point when the time’s right for me.
"It would be [lovely] to revisit that. She was great to play."
The ITV soap has recently seen a string of cast members announce their departures, including Kym Marsh, Lucy Fallon and Faye Brookes, but Catherine laughed off claims the show is in crisis, insisting that everyone "adores" working on the programme.
She said: "I’ve always said I’ve got nothing but positivity for ‘Corrie’ and I think everything just been blown out of proportion.
"Everybody I know that works there adores that place, so there’s never any hard feelings."
And even though it’s been almost a year since she stopped working on ‘Corrie’, Catherine still feels like part of the soap "family".
She said: "I think people like to create little stories, but as boring as it sounds, we’re one big family and even when you’ve left, you still feel like part of the family, you’re just a bit of a distant cousin for a while. It’s a great place to be."
The actress previously admitted she would love to play more comedy and "gritty drama" roles after leaving ‘Corrie’.
She said: "I adore doing comedy and Eva has had that side to her.
"Kate Oates has really fuelled my desire to do some gritty drama as well.
"We’ll see what happens. I feel really excited."
