Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati has revealed that she is eagerly anticipating her return to the soap.

The 43-year-old actress will reprise her role as Sunita Alahan in October following a three-year break from the cobbles.

In a new interview with Closer, Gulati has admitted that being reunited with her former screen husband Jimmy Harkishin (Dev) will be her personal highlight when she makes the comeback.

She commented: "He's my favourite - I can't wait to be back with him."

Though she wouldn't be drawn on what storylines are in store for Sunita, Gulati hinted that her old flaws may still get her into trouble.

"Sunita's a sweet girl to play, but she does make bad decisions," she confirmed.

Gulati's return is expected to form part of a "new direction" for Harkishin's womanising character.

Is she back for good? I thought she left for good before?

I thought she left for good before?

they always say that though don't they. moving on to "try new things" then their wanting to be back within a few years

[GossipGirl]

Maybe she wasn't so successful leaving?
But I feel her coming back is not a good thing as they hardly use Dev's character anymore

yes, plus the way she wrote her out was so daft. it never really made sense to split them up. how old will the twins be now?

About 2 or 3?

The way she left was mad
But how long will she stay now?

I thought she had divorced Dev after she found out he had fathered kids with most of his shop assistants?

[GossipGirl]

i wonder how long she will stay this time around- is she back for good?

Shobna Gulati has said that she is "excited" about returning to Coronation Street, but joked that she is not looking forward to being a screen mother.

Gulati will reprise her role as Sunita Alahan, who has five-year-old twins, when she returns to the soap in October.

"I'm not thrilled at the prospect of having to be mum to those kids!" she told the Sunday Mercury. "I think that's because mine is nearly grown-up now. The twins are five, so they're at that age.

"You know what they say about not acting with children or animals! I'm not sure if they'll appear with me straight away, or who they will get to play them."

However, Gulati said that she is sure the scripts will be "great".

"The Corrie writers are fantastic," she explained. "The whole company works in a very special way and I'm very excited to be part of that family again."

She added: "I wouldn't dream of ever saying no to Corrie."
