Curly Watts to return to Coronation Street?

Kevin Kennedy has announced that he is in talks to return to Corrie. The actor played Curly Watts in the soap for 20 years before leaving in 2003.

The 48-year-old star has claimed that producers of the programme want him to make a temporary appearance for the show's 50th anniversary celebrations in 2010.

Kevin has suggested that a number of other former cast members have been approached to make a return to Weatherfield.

He told the Evening Herald: "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?"

He added: "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."

A Coronation Street spokesperson told Digital Spy: "There are many, many plans for the 50th anniversary, but it's too early to finalise anything at this stage."
