Kevin Kennedy would "love to" return to 'Coronation Street'.

The 56-year-old star believes there are numerous ways his alter-ego Curly Watts could end up back in Weatherfield, and thinks his character would have "some tales to tell" upon his cobbles comeback.
He said: "I would say I'd love to. Curly was such a multi-faceted character, I think he had lots of stories to tell then and I think he would be even more interesting if he came back with some tales to tell."
Kevin is keen to explore what happened with Curly's relationship with wife Raquel Watts - who was portrayed by Sarah Lancashire - and hinted he could return with an on-screen son and daughter.
He said: "I mean, did he see Raquel again? What happened to his daughter and his son Ben?"
While Kevin admitted he "misses" appearing alongside some of his former cobbles co-stars, he did not enjoy early starts.
Speaking on 'Lorraine', Kevin added: "I miss the people. Although I don't miss getting up too early."
But Kevin - who last appeared on the show in 2003 - isn't the only 'Corrie' star who wants to see his character back in Manchester.
His former colleague Beverley Callard, who plays Liz McDonald on the ITV soap, would also love to see the former supermarket worker return.
In response to a fan poll about which 'Corrie' character people would like to bring back, she recently replied: "Curly Watts!!! Gets my vote. X (sic)"
Bev's comments come just days ahead of the return of her on-screen husband Charlie Lawson, whose alter-ego Jim McDonald will be back in Weatherfield on September 7th.
