FORMER Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has sparked comeback rumours after reuniting with her former co-stars for lunch.
The actress, 62, took to Instagram to share a video of herself and many of the current Corrie stars enjoying a catch up.
The group included Catherine Tyldesley, Tina O’Brien, Julia Goulding, Georgia Taylor and Alison King.
Daniel Brocklebank, who played Billy Mayhew for 11 years and was killed off during Corriedale in January, was also present for the lunch.
The group were seen walking through a beer garden before settling down at a table inside as they excitedly waved at the camera for Sue’s video.
She captioned the post: “Sunday well spent with the Corrie collective.”

Fans couldn’t get over the reunion as they flocked to the comments section to share their excitement.
One ITV viewer expressed: “Awww… it’s so nice to see all of you together!”
Another enthused: “That’s lovely to see everyone off work and having fun.”
Somebody else asked Sue: “Love you lot! Sue please save Todd, can’t he come & stay with you to escape?”
While a fourth fan added: “Wonderful! So lovely you all get together.”
Sue’s character Eileen Grimshaw bid farewell to Weatherfield back in June last year after playing the no-nonsense matriarch for 25 years.
She made the life-changing decision to head to Thailand with her son Jason (Ryan Thomas) to invest in his bar there.
Eileen ended her relationship with undertaker George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) and told him she only loved him as a “dear friend”.
Before finally leaving for good, Eileen stopped by the Rovers Return for one last drink and was surprised with a big showing by her friends.
When it was first announced Sue was leaving, she revealed: “The door is still firmly open but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures and live fearlessly.”
Since leaving the soap, she’s become a regular panellist on Loose Women after first appearing on the daytime panel show in 2023.
She’d taken a break from Corrie in 2024 to star in Sister Act The Musical as Mother Superior and appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2022.
Sue also released her memoir, A Work In Progress in 2024 where she shared her life experiences and offered advice to those in similar situations to her.
The legendary soap star made her panto debut in Beauty & The Beast last Christmas, alongside Paul Chuckle.
The Sun exclusively revealed last month that Sue is all set to star on the next series of Celebrity Masterchef, alongside Strictly Come Dancing contestant Lauren Steadman and YouTube star Max Fosh.

An insider said: “The BBC have wanted Sue to sign up for years and now she’s off Corrie it’s the perfect time.
“Max will appeal to younger viewers and everyone at the BBC loves Lauren – former Strictly stars are always popular on MasterChef.”
