Rula Lenska drops Coronation Street return hint

Rula Lenska has dropped a huge hint she will return to 'Coronation Street' this summer.

The 74-year-old star played Claudia Colby from 2009 to 2011 and again from 2018 to 2021, and Rula has now admitted she is keen to head back to the cobbles because she has always had a "wonderful time" on the show.

Speaking on 'Lorraine', alongside her former co-star Maureen Lipman - who plays Evelyn Plummer in the ITV soap - Rula said: "I would love to go back, I had a wonderful time. Not only because of being with Mo, but it was like a huge family.

"Unfortunately, the storylines I hoped would develop, i.e. between Mo and myself, didn’t happen or haven’t happened yet, but yes, I would love to go back."

Maureen admitted Rula might even return to Weatherfield in the coming months, saying: "There is a chance in the summer that you might be back?"

Rula replied: "There is."

Maureen then quipped: "If she’s good, they might let her back."

After Rula departed the soap in 2011, producers opted to leave the door open on a possible return, and she was back on the cobbles in July 2018.

Should Rula return to 'Corrie', Maureen may be able to see her good pal even more.

The pair previously shared a flat together, and Maureen admitted the abode was "much more fun" when she was living with Rula.

She said: "It was much more fun when Rula was in it.

"We’d be barking with laughter, moaning and whinging and eating too much Wagamama."
