Curly Watts' 'Coronation Street' return?
Thursday, 5 November 2009
Kevin Kennedy is in talks to return to 'Coronation Street' as Curly Watts.
The veteran actor, who played the haphazard supermarket manager for 20 years has revealed he has been approached to make a temporary return to the show for its 50th anniversary next year.
Kevin said: "I have actually discussed it with them and I'm hoping it will happen next year. They're hoping to bring back a lot of old faces. But at the moment, who knows?
"I would be absolutely delighted to walk down those cobblestone streets again. I'm very proud of what I've done, there's over 20 years of work there and I think all of it is a good standard."
The actor, 48, also said producers have approached a number of former characters from the show to appear for the anniversary.
Meanwhile another former cast member, Johnny Briggs, 71, has denied he wants to return to 'Coronation Street', saying comments he made to that effect were "a joke".
Johnny - who portrayed entrepreneur Mike Baldwin in the show - clarified: "They asked was there any chance of me going back to 'Coronation Street' and I said, 'Mike's dead - how could I come back?'. They pointed out that it happened with [Patrick] Duffy and the actress in 'Dallas'. So I joked and said, 'In that case, I'll be back!'"
