And now, Suranne has said that she'd happily return to Coronation Street ... if it was for charity.
"If it was for a good cause and we were going to raise a lot of money, I'd definitely consider it for Comic Relief," she said in an interview with The Sun. "I don't have time to keep up with Corrie but I'm friends with Jennie McAlpine and Antony Cotton so I do catch up. But I didn't know Steve had a baby - that is news to me and I am gobsmacked."
This fan would love to see Suranne back on the cobbles for good, for real or for charity!
