When I read the news that Carla Connor was returning to the cobbles, it felt like my birthday and Christmas at once. This was for a number of reasons, I felt that her time on the street had become too miserable, as she had gone from feisty to victim, who endured too much. And I felt that her exit deliberately left things open, so there was always the hope, that the black attired one would return.
December feels like a long time away, but once Strictly starts, you can begin the countdown to Carla Connor's return.
There have been promises from the Corrie camp, that Carla wiĺl not be as put upon, as she had become. So, what do we want from the return of one of the most popular and divisive characters since Elsie Tanner:
1. Return in dramatic style.
I would love someone to be talking about Carla in the Rovers, and in she walks with a "Hiya!"
2. Carla needs to be feisty, not miserable or washed out.
Hopefully, the break has done her some good. But one of the reasons why Alison King probably left, is because things were constantly being done to her. She lost her heart and humour. Bring it back!
3. The factory needs Carla.
Get her back in Underworld. She needs to be running that place, team her up with someone. Alya? Then sisters could be doing it for themselves!
4. Keep her away from Peter.
In the words of Britney Spears, "He was toxic and she was slippin under." So, keep them away. Carla needs friends. So, hoping she makes some new ones.
5. Give her a new battle.
Tracy and Carla are done, surely? Their argument went on for so long, I was beginning to think it was over a mix tape! Carla needs an adversary, as she is best when tested. Don't mess with the best.
Meanwhile, welcome back to Alison King, a marvelous actress, playing an iconic character. And the news that she may be battling with Kym Marsh's Michelle might be the best news I have heard this week.
Forget Christmas, Happy Carla Comeback Day!
