Kym Marsh "has no doubt" she'll return to 'Coronation Street' one day.
Kym Marsh wants to return to Corrie one day
The 41-year-old star played Michelle Connor on the ITV soap from 2006 until December 2019 and she's hoping bosses don't kill her character off off-screen in the near future because she'd love to go back to the show eventually as it holds so many happy memories for her.
Asked if she'd ever return to the soap, she said: "Yeah, possibly. I love Coronation Street, it’s where I started and it gave me the biggest part of my career. I had wonderful times there, I made wonderful friends and I loved the character of Michelle, so I have no doubt I’ll go back at some point – as long as they don’t kill me off off-screen!"
Kym has been keeping busy and can soon be seen as Alex Forrest in a touring production of 'Fatal Attraction' - the opening of which has been delayed until next week due to "Covid-related" issues - but she admitted she is "absolutely terrified" about some of the intimate scenes in the racy play.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper's Notebook magazine: "Oh I’m terrified, absolutely terrified. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been in the acting game for a long time now and this is something I’ve never actually done – it’s going to be a challenge in itself. But I think once I’ve done it once it will be fine.
"And it’s not real! It’s just another side to the part I’m playing. Obviously, taking some of your clothes off on stage is quite daunting, but it will be alright – I’ll just keep getting in that gym."
But Kym is excited to be acting again.
She said: "When I left 'Corrie' it was because I wanted to do other things and take on some new challenges, which I have with presenting.
"But with my acting I hadn’t done that yet, so I’ve been looking forward to playing this role. This is something I’ve wished for for a long time. Alex is a very complex character. It’s an interesting one to play and a dream role for me."
