The way the Callum storyline has been depicted it would be fantastical to bring him back now.

Coronation Street is far better when it pays attention to characterisation and its 50+ years of history to tell stories we can identify with, not stunts and big twists that get people talking for five minutes and are then forgotten.
Yeah but atleast those twists get people talking, give me that over Kirk and Beth anyday. Corrie needs something (not necessarily the theory I mentioned) but something. Whether its a new family, a twist or simply a better balance on comedy and drama.
