Sue Cleaver has been "badgering" Ryan Thomas to return to 'Coronation Street'.

The 56-year-old star is celebrating two decades on the cobbles as Eileen Grimshaw, and she would love to act alongside her on-screen son Ryan - who played Jason Grimshaw - again, so has been trying to tempt him back to Weatherfield.
She said: "I'd love Ryan Thomas [Jason Grimshaw] to come back and I do keep badgering him all the time.
"But he's become a social media influencer and he's just had another baby, who I haven't met yet because we are in lockdown.
"But I'll be on his case for the rest of eternity, though."
As well as having doubts that Ryan will make a Rovers Return anytime soon, Sue also admitted she probably won't be acting alongside her on-screen sister Katy Cavanagh in the near future either - because she now manages her son Noah Jupe's Hollywood career.
She said: "I doubt very much that we'll see the return of her [Eileen's] sister Julie, because Katy Cavanagh, who played her, is busy managing her son's Hollywood career.
"He's called Noah Jupe, and he's in every big film coming out of Hollywood right now, including 'A Quiet Place Part II', so Katy has her hands full."
The actress particularly enjoys her time on the set of cab firm Streetcars when she is filming 'Corrie' scenes, and revealed she and Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) used to pen "X-rated and stupid" notes to one another in a big black book, until a producer discovered it.
She added to Inside Soap magazine: "For years in Streetcars, on the switch, there was a big black book, and Simon Gregson [Steve McDonald] and I used to write messages to each other and leave them in there.
"They could be a bit X-rated and stupid, then one day the producer saw it.
"He put a smiley face at the bottom, and wrote, 'See me!'
"Then weirdly the book disappeared."
