Roy Hudd as Archie Shuttleworth

[kayla05]

Corrie actor Roy Hudd has been lined up for another stint in the show.

Hudd - who plays undertaker Archie Shuttleworth - will return to the Street later this year for what is believed to be the funeral of yet another character. There are plenty of faces lined up to leave the show over the next couple of months - it could be anybody!

The actor speculated in a newspaper: "I have a feeling that someone will be snuffing it soon. I've just been booked to film half a dozen episodes - something's up!".

A spokeswoman for the show told me: "Roy is returning for a short period but we're not revealing why just yet."

Hudd last appeared on the Street for the funeral of Corrie veteran Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs).

I thought Fred and Bev were leaving together, but there could be a twist in the tale.

It could be Fred, and then Bev goes to join Shelley,

I don't know though, maybe they both die.
