Coronation Street viewers are in for a treat this Christmas with the dramatic return of Carla Connor. Actress Alison King, 44, mum to eight-year-old Daisy, reveals why she’s back and what’s in store for the festive season, both on and off screen.
‘It was time for me to have adult banter again – I felt ready to come back. I’ve been away about a year and a half. Once Kate Oates started as producer I met up with her and said that I would be happy to come back a bit earlier than I’d originally discussed. She asked if I could come back for Christmas and I was more than happy to. I had said I would maybe have a two-year break, but I didn’t feel like I wanted to go anywhere else. I wasn’t keen on the idea of travelling around the country with work. I’d done what I’d wanted to do, which was to spend time with Daisy, and we’d had a great time. I hadn’t really been able to do that before, but she was at a crucial age for schooling, among other things. I needed that break, and it was so rewarding.’
