Suranne Jones in Corrie Christmas return?

She's the Coronation Street character that fans here on the Coronation Street Blog voted for a return to the cobbles. 

And now there's a story in the Daily Star saying Corrie boses are "desperate" to bring back Suranne Jones as Karen McDonald - and have lined her up for a Christmas return!

The Daily Star says that Corrie scriptwriters have earmarked Suranne Jones as their prime target for this year’s Christmas Corrie episodes.

And 'a source close to Suranne' is quoted as saying: “Suranne has never ruled out going back to Coronation Street... It’s certainly something she’ll consider.”

Good to hear it. Hope this story's true but as with everything you read in the tabloids, unless it's confirmed or denied by ITV, take each story with a very large pinch of salt and a small glass of stout.
