Returning Coronation Street actor Craig Charles wants writers to reform his character's double act with old pal Steve.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Charles said: "I'd love for Lloyd and Steve to play the odd couple for a while! There's so much scope for comedy in that, and it would be great Corrie tradition too.
"We would be like the new Stan Ogden and Eddie Yeats - sat there in our boxers, string vests on, watching the telly, eating burgers and talking rubbish. It'd be great fun."
Lloyd Mullaney's surprise return to Weatherfield next week causes tension between him and former Street Cars business partner Steve McDonald.
Speaking about the cab drivers' unlucky love lives, Charles added: "When it comes to women, Lloyd and Steve are always attracted to the wrong ones!
"Let's face it, Steve is probably the most unlucky man ever when it comes to love that lasts - and Lloyd comes a very close second to him."
He added "The only difference between them is that Lloyd hasn't started to collect any ex-wives - not yet, anyway!"
