Former Coronation Street star Alison King has quashed your hopes of a soap comeback – suggesting that she may even quit acting.
Alison, who played Carla Connor on the ITV soap, told the Daily Star that she has nothing lined up and may explore a career change.
"I've got no new acting projects in the pipeline," she said at the launch of Amaluna – Cirque du Soleil's new show. "I may actually leave acting behind and join the circus.
"I'll maybe have a go tonight and see how it pans out," she joked.
Carla arrived on the cobbles in December 2006, and spent nearly a decade there before quitting Weatherfield this May.
She was at the centre of several huge storylines, including running over Stella Price and her ongoing feud with arch-enemy Tracy Barlow.
Carla was also raped by her boyfriend Frank Foster (and then became a suspect in his murder), and found herself as part of another major storyline with her on-off affair to Peter Barlow, who she later married.
In the end, Carla left Weatherfield for a new life in Devon – after discovering that family friend Johnny Connor was actually her biological father.
Alison previously told Digital Spy that she would be interested in returning to Coronation Street.
"I would never ever say never and I just love that the door has been left open for her," she said. "It is really nice that the characters who have such a history on the street are able to go back.
"Of course, they are my family. I love them and I love working with them, but at the moment, I'm just going to take a different direction for a while."
