Is this where you confess to being a secret Coronation Street fan!

''Coronation Street favourite Tina O’Brien returns to Weatherfield this week as the much-missed Sarah- Louise Platt.''
Favourite? Much missed? Really?

Soap actors have always been able to return to their soaps if contracts permit, and they are not ‘killed off’ – it is quite common.

Returning is rarely done because the actor finds life outside the soap less fulfilling. It may be less financially rewarding, but actors don’t always stay for the money – they like to try different things.

So it is really no big deal for Sarah (or Sarah Lou as she was always called) to return – it gives the writers more story ideas, and the viewing public often like popular – or even unpopular –characters to come back. Witness Nick Cotton who has been back to East Enders more often that the taxi that takes everyone away from the Square.

......just wondering how creative the writers would need to be to get nick cotton back next time?

She was a girl of 16 when she started in Corrie, she left to do other things and is now a mother of two.
I can't see it as shameful that has returned to Corrie.

Saw a clip of her return earlier, she hasn't gained any better acting skills!

^^^ Lol. Having seen the actress who is playing her daughter, I think she could well be out acted by her. (If you know what I mean)
