For a solid 13 years, Kym played the role of Michelle Connor in ITV’s Corrie – and now she’s teased a return could be on the cards.

Speaking to The Mirror Kym, 48, said: “It was left open, very much so and if the chance and opportunity was to arrive then I could always return if that was what was wanted.

“So yeah, there is always that option for her to go back, unless they kill her off!

“But there is that opportunity and I mean, I just love that show.

“I will always love Coronation Street, it’s such a major part of my life.”

Kym’s last episode as Michelle Connor was in December 2019.

She went onto land a presenting gig for the BBC’s daily show Morning Live, alongside Gethin Jones.

Kym’s return to Weatherfield, though, will have to be put on the backburner as she is currently starring in the stage musical of 101 Dalmatians: The Musical together.

We revealed last week Sean Wilson had been axed from Coronation Street and his planned storylines will not air.

He was called back for his ex Gail’s widely hyped exit storyline.

Cast and crew were left baffled after Sean, 59, was mysteriously summoned to a meeting at ITV’s offices and never returned to set.

The Sun revealed how Corrie bosses are now refusing to offer any real explanation for his departure, other than he had “stepped down for personal reasons”.

However, in an unearthed interview from February, Sean blasted Corrie for losing its humour while “trying to solve world issues”.

The actor – who has since switched careers to be an award-winning cheese-maker – said the writers have replaced the soap’s funny storylines, in a bid to focus on less relatable topics, which have failed to attract their target audience.

Coronation Street’s 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
