Kym Marsh has ‘no doubt’ she’ll return to Coronation Street
For a solid 13 years, Kym played the role of Michelle Connor in ITV’s Corrie – and now she's teased that a comeback could be on the cards.
When asked if there was a possibility that she could ever return to the famous cobblestone streets, Kym said: “Yeah, possibly. I love Coronation Street – it’s where I started and it gave me the biggest part of my career.
“I had wonderful times there, I made wonderful friends and I loved the character of Michelle, so I have no doubt I’ll go back at some point – as long as they don’t kill me off off-screen.”
Kym’s return to Weatherfield, though, will have to be put on the backburner as she is currently appearing in a new theatre role called Fatal Attraction.
The 45-year-old plays spurned lover Alex Forrest, which sees her stripping off for some saucy scenes.
The play is based on the 1987 film starring Glenn Close, who was hell-bent on manipulative and violent revenge against married lover Dan Gallagher, played by Michael Douglas.
