The actor, who has taken over the role of Ryan Connor, revealed that he would like his character to keep clashing with David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) in the months ahead.
David has already had one furious showdown with Ryan after the Weatherfield returnee offered cocaine to his wife Kylie.
Heras told Inside Soap: "I think it would be good to do a few more scenes with David Platt. He and Ryan are both quite fiery characters, and I think we could do some great fight sequences!
"There's lots of potential with that situation."
Expressing an additional desire for more scenes with Paula Lane, who plays Kylie, he added: "They're quite a combination - they cause a lot of trouble."
Tabloid reports today (August 8) have tipped Ryan for a romance with Tracy Barlow, but Heras joked that he would like a much older on-screen love interest.
He laughed: "I'd have to go for one of the old-school Corrie legends, so Rita or Emily would be my first choice. Emily's toy-boy lover sounds good! I think it would work really well, and the audience would love it."
Coronation Street continues tomorrow (August 9) at 8.30pm on ITV1.

Coronation Street newcomer Sol Heras has admitted that he is expecting things to get "much worse" for his character Ryan Connor in the coming weeks.
Ryan returned to the cobbles with a drug habit last month, and he continues to deceive adoptive mum Michelle (Kym Marsh) in upcoming episodes by returning to his worrying ways.
When Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) cancels plans to take Ryan to a gig later this month, the former student immediately spots an opportunity to raise the cash for more drugs.
Heras told Soaplife: "I don't think he's dependent on the drugs. Ryan taking drugs is more of a cover-up for his insecurities. The drugs give him confidence. He doesn't think he's an addict, but he's got himself a bad habit.
"Steve's planning to take Ryan to the gig, but when he backs out, Ryan sells the tickets to Sophie to get money to spend on drugs. Then he goes on a bender somewhere, partying all night."
Asked where the story could be heading next, the actor replied: "Things could get much worse for Ryan. Who knows what he'll involve himself in next? I think it will take something big to make it really hit home with Ryan that things have got to change."
Heras added that Ryan would never want to harm Michelle with his bad behaviour.
He said: "Ryan's obviously upsetting his mum, but he loves her to bits. They were best friends before he went away to university, and that's still there - but he's got caught up in a different lifestyle and his head's all over the place. He's not himself at the moment, but I don't think he could harm her."
Ben Thompson previously played the role of Ryan between 2006 and 2010.

Coronation Street's Kym Lomas has revealed details of on-screen son Ryan Connor's latest meltdown.
After being publicly humiliated by Tracy Barlow in the Rovers, Ryan goes on a drink and drugs bender next Wednesday (October 24), playing chicken in dual carriageway traffic, which leads to best friend Sophie being knocked down and seriously hurt.
Speaking to Soaplife, Lomas teased the aftermath of Sophie's accident, divulging that Sophie's dad Kevin will punch her son at the flat she shares with Steve.
"Just as Ryan is about to tearfully explain what happened to Sophie, Kevin arrives and informs a stunned Michelle that Ryan ran off leaving Sophie on her own," Lomas said.
"Kevin can't contain his fury and hits Ryan. Steve has to drag Kevin off him."
The 36-year-old also suggested that there may still be a future for her alter ego Michelle Connor and Steve McDonald, who decides to end their relationship in a failed scheme to persuade Tracy to leave Ryan.
"He begs her to take him back but at first she really doesn't want anything to do with him. Michelle is not the most forgiving person so he has a lot of work to do to make amends," Lomas added. "It's grovelling time for Steve again!"
