In an exclusive revelation that will thrill Weatherfield residents, former Coronation Street star Vicky Entwistle has declared she'd happily return to the iconic cobbles as the unforgettable Janice Battersby.
The acclaimed actress, who portrayed the sharp-tongued factory worker for over a decade, hasn't graced our screens as Janice since 2011. However, she's now confirmed the door remains firmly open for a dramatic comeback.
"I'd Go Back Like a Shot" Says Emotional Star
Speaking with heartfelt candour, Entwistle shared: "If they asked me, I'd go back like a shot. I absolutely would. I loved my time on that show." Her emotional connection to the character remains strong even after twelve years away from the Manchester-based set.
The actress reflected on her transformative experience on the legendary soap, describing it as "the most amazing ten years of my life." She credits the show with providing her with incredible opportunities and cherished memories that continue to resonate with her today.
From Factory Floors to Future Storylines
Janice Battersby became one of Coronation Street's most memorable characters during her tenure, known for her fiery personality, turbulent relationships, and iconic one-liners. Her departure in 2011 saw her leaving Weatherfield after discovering her husband's affair.
Entwistle's potential return could open up explosive new storylines, particularly given her character's complex history with current residents and the dramatic changes that have transformed the street since her last appearance.
The actress maintains strong bonds with her former castmates, recently reuniting with several colleagues at an event in Blackpool, proving that the Coronation Street family connection remains as strong as ever.
Soap Fans Await Possible Comeback
With Coronation Street continuing to deliver gripping drama after more than six decades on air, the potential return of such a beloved character would undoubtedly create waves among the soap's dedicated fanbase.
As speculation mounts about which familiar faces might reappear on the cobbles, Entwistle's enthusiastic openness to returning gives hope to viewers who've long wondered what became of the unforgettable Janice Battersby.
