Karen was one of a kind I would love to see her back!!
It's not like she is working on other TV projects at the moment.
Do you think now that Becky is going, they might try and bring Karen back?
I would love for her to come back but this is one soap actress who has kept busy with filming other things. I would love to see her wiping the smug look off Tracey's face :p
I see Suranne Jones is to appear in the new series of Dr Who....The Daleks had better run for it!
Suranne Jones is a good actress. I don't think she will go short of work. Unlike Kate Ford or Plank as Alan would say. I did like the series her and David Tennent done last year.
Watched Suranne Jones in Scott and Bailey last night. I quite enjoyed it too. Lets hope its more successful for her than Harley Street. I wonder when the Corrie bosses watch her on TV and compare her with Kate Plank do they realise what a mistake they have made. Oh how I would love to see her return as Karen and sort out Traceyluv
She won't return. Suranne is one of the very few soap actors who has made a career away from soapland. They only come back to soapland when they're skint and can't get work anywhere else.
What a fantastic last episode of Scott and Bailey last night. Brilliant. Hope there is a new series soon. Just wonder how they intend keeping it all hushed up
Alan, any chance you could give me a quick recap of last nigt, my telly went off half way through it!
Janet returned to work after 3 months off to a surprise party. Rachel told her she was back with Nick the slimeball lawyer. Janet told her Nick was using her to keep her quiet but Rachel didn't belive her, turns out it was true Nick tried to have Rachel run down in a hit and run, another girl was hurt Rachel chased the guy but he was hit by a bus that's how she found out Nick was behind it all. Rachel confessed all to Gil her boss who went mental but Janet conviced her not to sack Rachel as she would have to sack Janet as well. Andy said he was leaving. Janet asked him not too. Cue scene in back alley snogging (YAHOO)
Thanks for the recap Chloe. xx
I too thoroughly enjoyed Scott and Bailey and am hoping for another series.
It is happening. :cheer:
ITV1 has recommissioned four of its new drama series.
Vera, Scott & Bailey , Monroe and Case Sensitive will all be returning with new episodes, the channel announced today.
Vera, which stars Brenda Blethyn as a detective, will return with four two-hour films. Filming has already started on the new instalments.
Elsewhere, Scott & Bailey will return next year with eight new episodes. The drama stars Suranne Jones and Lesley Sharp as police officers working together in Manchester and picked up ratings of 5.77m for its finale earlier this month.
The new series of Monroe will focus on neurosurgeon Gabriel Monroe getting used to single life and facing further challenges at work.
James Nesbitt and Sarah Parish will return to the series, along with two "major new additions" to the cast. However, production on the show is not expected to begin until next year.
Meanwhile, Case Sensitive will return with a new two-part story based on Sophie Hannah's novel The Other Half Lives. Darren Boyd and Olivia Williams are due to reprise their roles as DC Simon Waterhouse and DS Charlie Zailer.
ITV's director of drama commissioning Laura Mackie said: "We couldn't be more delighted with the success of Vera, Case Sensitive, Monroe and Scott & Bailey. It's terrific to think we are commissioning the most watched and appreciated original dramas for the ITV1 audience."
ITV has already renewed its drama Kidnap & Ransom and is working on a new one-off film based on the work of Victorian detective Inspector Jack Whicher following the success of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.
Excellent news about Scott and Bailey and Monroe returning. However every time this thread is updated I am disappointed not to read that Suranne is returning to the cobbles
^ Thanks Alan I thought Karen was returning :(
Maybe we start a new thread when the series start. it can be am episode discussion maybe.
Your wish is my command

CORRIE bosses are *desperate to bring back soap siren Suranne Jones to *Weatherfield’s cobbles.
Suranne, 33, who played Karen MacDonald, left the ITV soap in 2004 but scriptwriters have earmarked her as their prime target for this year’s Christmas shows.
Corrie bosses know her on-screen antics with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) andSteve MacDonald (Simon Gregson) are a huge hit with fans and are keen to bring her back.
A Corrie source said: “They’ve been keen to bring Karen back for a while now but Suranne’s been so busy there was no chance of it happening.
“She isn’t filming at the moment so producers are hoping to swoop and get a deal done.
“They’ve earmarked her for the shows to be aired this Christmas and they’re prepared to pay big bucks to get her back.
“It’s hard to believe she’s been away from the show for so long.
“Karen’s certainly got *unfinished business on the Street.”
The soap’s scriptwriters meet several times a month to discuss storylines and potential new characters.
Since leaving the Street Suranne’s career has gone from strength to strength, with roles in ITV’s Vincent, Strictly Confidential and Scott & Bailey.
She has just finished filming The Secret Of Crickley Hall for the BBC, which will air in autumn.
A source close to the star said: “Suranne has never ruled out going back to Coronation Street.
“She only left because she wanted to spread her wings a bit and try out other roles.
“But she enjoyed Corrie and Karen is one of the *characters she has most enjoyed playing.
“It’s certainly something she’ll consider. Facing Tracy Barlow again would be dynamite and a sure ratings hit.”
I would dearly love to see her returning to the cobbles. She could get rid of three crap characters with a believable storyline. She would make a wonderful landlady for the Rovers, getting rid of St Ella, she hates Tracy so in a fight we all know who would win and as for Michelle well the fact that she was with Steve would be emough to see the end of her.
Sorted.
Use the money that is wasted on those three characters and spend it to bring back Karen/Suranne
.....
She is one of the ex soap actors who has done well after Corrie so doubt return now but I would love also to see Karen back
Suranne Jones is open to returning for charity

Can she come back and kill Tracy
