The 56-year-old actress portrays Sally Metcalfe on the ITV soap but she is currently without her co-stars Helen Flanagan and Brooke Vincent - who play Sally's kids Rosie and Sophie Webster respectively - because they are both on maternity leave, and she can't wait for them to return to the show because she is close to the pair.
In an interview with OK! magazine, Sally said: "I'd love them to be back on the show. We all went to lunch together just before Brooke gave birth and we laughed so much.
"I said, 'When I met you, you were kids and now you're women with babies!' They're lovely girls and I'm so proud of them both."
Helen, 29, departed 'Corrie' last year to give birth to her second daughter Delilah with her fiancé, Celtic footballer Scott Sinclair, whilst Brooke, 27, is at the start of her baby break after she welcomed her baby son Mexx into the world last month.
Sally admits she "can't wait" to meet Mexx - whose dad is Sheffield United player Kean Bryan - because he is so cute in the pictures Brooke has shared with her.
She said: "I'm going to meet him this week. I can't wait. He's the perfect looking baby. I'm so happy for her. She's in her element. All the cast knew Brooke would be a wonderful mum because she's brilliant with children."
Meanwhile, Sally will be trekking to Everest base camp to raise money for breast cancer prevention and admits that she will miss her husband Tim when she is on the expedition.
The soap stalwart - who was diagnosed with the disease in 2009 - explained: "I'm going to really miss my husband. He's my best friend and we talk every hour or so. He's very calm and patient and keeps me grounded. He's also very funny and makes me laugh a lot."
Sally and Tim will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary next year and Sally wants to go to the Maldives to celebrate the landmark date.
She said: "We went to the Maldives after I'd finished my cancer treatment and I'd quite like to go back there."
