Kevin Kennedy is looking for a way back to Weatherfield so he can become Curly Watts once more.
The 56-year-old actor's character may have left Coronation Street all of 15 years ago, but he claims there have been "mutterings" about bringing back the supermarket boss back on the ITV soap.
"I would like to go back," he told Daily Star Sunday. "I think Curly was a very interesting character . . . he was multi-faceted.
"There have been mutterings about me going back. So we'll have to wait and see what happens.
"I think the fans always enjoy it when a character returns, it's something they are familiar with.
"I have very good relations with both ITV and Coronation Street. Ultimately it's down to them."
Kevin is "very proud" of his time on the show and feels humbled when fans still remember him as Curly, even though it's a decade-and-a-half since he last appeared on the show.
He said: "I always trusted the Coronation Street writers because they rarely missed the mark.
"We were lucky. We were in the right place at the right time. And we had an incomparable script that gripped the nation. I'm very proud of my history with Coronation Street.
"I still think it's the best thing I've done," he added. "I enjoy it when people remember my time there. It's humbling. People remember the stories because often they tied in with something happening in their personal life at the time."
