Former Coronation Street star Nigel Pivaro has been asked to make a return to the soap.
Producers want the actor to reprise his role as bad boy Terry Duckworth for several episodes in November. His return would be linked to the departure of Street favourite Liz Dawn, who plays Terry's mother Vera.
A Corrie spokeswoman told the Manchester Evening News: "Nigel has been approached to see if he is available to come back to the show. Ideas are still coming from the scriptwriting team for Liz Dawn's departure, but we would like the character of Terry to be involved."
Nigel was last seen on the Street in 2002. He is currently working as a reporter for a weekly paper in Greater Manchester.
