Wendi Peters would definitely "think about" a return to 'Coronation Street'.

The 53-year-old actress starred as Cilla Battersby-Brown in the ITV soap and hasn't ruled out a return to the cobbles to reunite with her on-screen children, if the right storyline came up.
She said: "I loved playing Cilla and if they came in with a lovely storyline, then absolutely I would think about it. In lockdown, I started watching the omnibus. It was nice to see Sam Aston and Jennie McAlpine, who played my on-screen children Chesney and Fiz.
"I noticed there was a lot of stuff with Chesney and his quads and Fiz has been having problems with her boyfriend Tyrone. I briefly think, 'Nobody thinks to call their mother, do they?' It might have been quite funny to have a Zoom with Cilla during lockdown.
"I could have done that from home - I've got her jewellery up in the loft and also her hat and silver sequinned bag."
Wendi was in the soap for four years, departing over a decade ago, and she is grateful that people still remember her famous character despite so much time having passed.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper, she added: "I was ready to move on. I spent four years there. She was a very over-the-top character and such good fun, and 15 years on I'm thrilled that people still remember her - to a point. There are times I want to go, 'Look at all the other things I've done,' but I've got to remember some of those wouldn't be there if it wasn't for her."
