ITV says she'll be back in October and that the storyline will involve Jennie McAlpine's exit for her maternity leave. The storyline is hush hush at the moment but Fiz and Chesney will no doubt get a big surprise when Cilla sashays back into their lives, causing trouble, I would imagine.
Wendi is looking forward to coming back.
"I'm really thrilled to have the opportunity to revisit Cilla and the cobbles for a short while and to see what she has been up to for the last 7 years."
Producer Stuart Blackburn says “We can't wait to see Cilla back on the cobbles, she's a truly unforgettable character who is at the heart of Corrie's rich history.”
Wendi has been keeping herself busy on screen and doing a lot of theatre work over the past few years. I am looking forward to Cilla's sneer once again! She's one of those "love to hate" characters that I always enjoyed, thanks to Wendi Peters' great portrayal!
