She must have changed her mind!
Michelle Collins rules out Corrie or EastEnders return
Michelle Collins may have made a name for herself in both EastEnders and Coronation Street but she’s ruled out ever making a comeback to either soap.
The actress famously played Walford’s Cindy Beale before heading north to Manchester-based soap Coronation Street where she played Rovers landlady Stella Price.
While a return to the East End would be tough because Cindy is dead, a Corrie comeback would be easy, but Michelle says there’s no chance.
She explained said: “I don’t miss it at all. It’s horrible. I was in Corrie for three years and people can’t believe you’d choose to leave of your own accord. “But I don’t want that fame thing 24/7. I’m 53 and I’ve been in the industry since I was 18. I just want to be. I don’t want to grab that fame like a lot of people do.”
And ruling out an EastEnders return too, she told the Daily Star Sunday: “If Cindy came back, then what? I think it would be an anti- climax.
“I don’t know what you’d do with her. I really think sometimes it’s better to let the myth carry on. For Gillian, EastEnders is where she belongs. “The show needs the older women who are matriarchal characters. Viewers feel safe with people like that.”
Good news for a lot of viewers, me thinks

She couldn't possibly come back to Eastenders now that she has such a convincing Manchester accent.

The character was ok as a young woman.
But if she was to return I think the SWs
would have difficulty in making the character
"age realistically " dramatically after a long
break.
They dont always do it well with those
characters who have been there continuously!!

some on line talk cindy is being resurrected to return with ian
Wasn't there a rumor flying around that she was on witness protection, and that's why she had to fake her death.
I think she's just been taking a long shower.
