Fancy writing a guest blog post for us? All details here!
As most of you must know by now, Alison King is returning to Corrie in December and I for one cannot wait! She is my favourite character from not only Coronation Street, but any television show.
I feel like this return will be explosive and full of surprises plus written a lot better than her exit back in May 2016. Even though I'm so excited she is on the way back, I have some things which I do, and don't want to happen on her return.
The first thing I do want to happen is drama. I feel like her exit left a lot open, not just with Nick, but with the Platts too, mainly Gail. I'd like to see an argument or conversation between Gail and Carla take place because I feel like that needs to happen either for closure, or to just clear the air.
Another thing which I would like to happen is some sort of Tracy and Carla interaction, which no doubt will happen at some point. I think Kate Ford and Ali King work incredibly together and theirs is one of my favourite feuds from the show. Who knows whether that rivalry will continue but just some scenes between the pair would be great!
Something else which most fans no doubt want is Carla getting back behind the desk in Underworld. Carla, whether you want to believe it or not, owns that factory. For me her being in Underworld is a huge part of her character and history. I would love to see a Jenny and Carla fight at some point as well considering Jenny is (most likely) going to be Carla's stepmum!
The one thing which I can't wait to have back on screen, is the relationship between Carla and Johnny. This father / daughter bond started to grow so much in Carla's last couple of months on the show in 2016, so no doubt we will get to see their bond grow even more.
Now there's not a lot I don't want to happen with Carla but something I desperately don't want is Carla getting back with Peter. I know many fans want this but in my opinion Peter is just a cheat, and Carla deserves SO much better than him. It would also be such a huge step back for Carla after everything she's been through since. To be quite honest I don't think she needs to even be in a relationship at all, at least for a while, because she's a strong independent woman.
The last thing which I don't want to see, even though it is funny, is Carla being drunk all the time. Ali plays a drunk extremely well, but it becomes repetitive. I would like to see Carla be her happy, strong self for quite a good length of time before any sort of self destructing takes place.
Also, according to Kate Oates (the Corrie producer) there will be some sort of feud between Carla and Michelle. Even though I love these two as best friends, I think a bit of arguing and being on opposing sides will be interesting and we will get to see Ali and Kym working together in a slightly different way. It will be a bit like the 2007 days.
So, to put it simply, I cannot wait for Carla's return! Best Christmas present I could've wished for!
