Carla Connor (Alison King)

Why is that good? Why can't people just be left as friends? Why do we have to look at ways of breaking up long-standing friendships?

Even in the name of drama this should be possible!!!

I want Carla to return with a child but I assume Michelle and Johnny have been in contact or visiting her so would have said if she had one

I can't understand why she's coming back so soon in the first place, run the factory I guess. Be nice imo. for the show to recruit some real, earthy northern working class characters ,the likes of Beth Tinker (rarely seen nowadays). Always seems to be the business folk, the so called wealth creators. Not just corrie , emmerdale has gone down the same route. Again, needs a balance, imo, So much virtually unknown acting talent out there ,jump at a chance, I reckon

I think Alison King was having trouble finding other work! She needs to pay the mortgage.

Did she do any other roles while away from the show?

Courtesy of Wiki "In September 2016, while attending a Cirque Du Soleil show after just returning from a holiday in France, King admitted that since quitting Coronation Street, she has no new projects lined up, joking that she might quit acting and join the circus.[56] She quipped: "Yeah, I'll maybe have a go tonight and see how it pans out". Sounds like a no tammy . Your post louise ,spot on ,I suppose that explains the return. Very lucky to be in that work situation.

It's amazing how some actors who leave the soap go on to be famous in other roles - Suranne Jones , Sarah Lancashire, Rob James Collier ( Downton and other things) and yet some don't . We never hear about them again. "Carla", Ryan Thomas and many more who think they will set the world alight but don't .

Any more famous and non famous ?

At least she is honest about it which is a rare thing these days.

Rather ironic that Ryan Thomas has just got a role in Neighbours then!
