Nikki Sanderson could be about to make a red-hot return to
soapland.

Gorgeous Nikki is in secret talks with Corrie chiefs to come back as curvy crimper Candice Stowe.

A return is on the cards for sexy Nikki, with bosses hoping the 22-year-old could be back in The Street by the spring.

Viewers will see her best pal Sarah Platt get a phone call from Candice telling her she is about to marry into a wealthy family.

She reveals she is going to wed in Greece and offers to pay for Sarah – Tina O’Brien, 23 – to fly out to be her bridesmaid. A senior source revealed Nikki’s return would put a much-needed sex factor back into the show.

“There have been concerns about the pin-up element and nobody was a more popular ambassador for us in that area than Nikki,” he said.

“We decided the phone call from Candice was a subtle and plausible way of edging her back towards the cobbles.

“Nikki is certainly aware of our interest.”

Candice came to Weatherfield in 1999 to work as a trainee hairdresser for Audrey Roberts. She left six years later by running off with rockers Status Quo to be their tour stylist after meeting the band at the Battersby wedding.

It was rumoured at the time that Nikki quit the show in protest at the sacking of boyfriend Danny Young, 20, who played her on-screen love Warren Baldwin.

She has always denied this and in a recent interview she said she left Corrie to ditch her image, adding: “For that reason I can’t go back.”

But it now seems she could be ready to change her mind.

she may have left to ditch her dizzy image but she has only appeared a couple of programmes since she has left. If she is getting a regular income from Corrie to return as eye candy Candice. She might bite the bullet.

I quite liked Candice actually, and I thought she was underused compared to Sarah or Maria etc.

That said, I doubt she would be worth returning for, and to be honest, I doubt there's much truth in the article either.

She wasn't the best character maybe it is the writers fault for not coming up with good story lines for her

I remember reading in Inside Soap the gossip column that there was no plans for Candice to return.

She may not be returning but there have been plenty of mentions of her this past week in Corrie, saying she's getting married.

Well done Mr Continuity!

From Todays Daily Mirror

FORMER Corrie star Nikki Sanderson is sensationally returning to the show.

Fans will see Nikki, 23, left - TV hairdresser Candice Stowe - dramatically turn up at old pal Sarah-Louise Platt's wedding .

Bosses believe her comeback after nearly two years away will boost the show's appeal among younger viewers.

An insider said yesterday: "She was a big favourite with viewers and her character is one of the sexiest we've had in recent years. It's great to have her back."

Nikki is equally thrilled to be in the Street again. She said: "I absolutely adore the show and everything to do with it.

"It was just a case of wanting to spread my wings and try something new when I left." Viewers must wait until autumn to watch her comeback. Producers also hope it will make up for losing Tina O'Brien, who is quitting as Sarah later this year.

Candice left Weatherfield in November 2005 to work as a stylist for Status Quo, who had just guest starred on the series.

Nikki has since appeared in a number of shows, including ITV1 drama Strictly Confidential.
