She famously left the cobbles last year, but could Coronation Street's Alison King be making a return as Carla Connor?

Ermmmmm, "maybe?" is the best answer we can give at the moment.

The Sun is claiming (via an unnamed source) that King will be back in the soap by the end of the year.

Digital Spy reached out to ITV, and a spokesperson told us that the story is merely speculation.

So while they didn't confirm Alison King's return, they didn't outright deny it either, so make of that what you will...

Alison left the soap almost a year ago to the day, as her character Carla went to start afresh in Devon – but not before making her peace with Roy Cropper.

Interestingly, the same tabloid claimed that Alison (and by extension, Carla) would return to Weatherfield back in December, but ITV dismissed the rumours and said that the actress was just visiting the set for a catch-up.

Alison previously told us: "I would never ever say never, and I just love that the door has been left open for her. It is really nice that the characters who have such a history on the street are able to go back.

"Of course, they are my family. I love them and I love working with them but at the moment, I'm just going to take a different direction for a while."
