Briggs could see a Corrie comeback

Briggs is quoted as saying: "Why not - I think it could work.

"It worked in 'Dallas' where he [Bobby Ewing] came out of the shower as someone else. I would do something like that, definitely."

Briggs said that while he still misses the camaraderie on the show, he doesn't miss the long days.

"It got to the point where I just thought 'I don't want to be carried out of here on a stretcher'," he said.
