Georgia Taylor has been tipped for a return to Coronation Street as Toyah Battersby next year.
The actress is said to be in the frame for a comeback on the ITV soap in 2013 as part of several plans from new producer Stuart Blackburn.
Taylor played Toyah Battersby for six years before leaving the soap in 2003. She then went on to play Dr Ruth Winters in BBC One's Casualty until last year.
"There has been talk for a few months now that Toyah's character could return – which would be brilliant news for Georgia who loved being in Corrie all those years ago," an insider told The Mirror.
"There is endless scope for terrific storylines with her stepsister Leanne."
After arriving with her family in 1997, Toyah left Weatherfield in order to start a new life with her ex-boyfriend in London following a rape.
The source added: "It would be a perfect scenario if Toyah was to come back."
Last year, Taylor said that Coronation Street writers should "reinvent" her character in order to reflect the eight years that she has been away.
She said: "She's meant to have been in London for eight years, so there should be a back story for that.
"And in a way I'd have to reinvent her because for most of the time on the show I felt I was playing a teenager. I'm 32 now - so automatically that changes things!"
Jane Danson has also called for Taylor's return, telling Digital Spy that she expected to be reunited with her on-screen stepsister eventually.
