Craig Charles, who plays Coronation Street cabbie Lloyd Mullaney, is returning to Coronation Street at the end of this month.
I saw Craig interviewed on BBC News this weekend with respect to BBC Radio 6 Music's 10th birthday. Craig DJs the wonderful Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show for the station each Saturday and it's a great show, I'm a huge fan of it, I have to admit. He talked about working on BBC Radio 6 Music as he's worked on the show since its inception 10 years ago. And he also talked about taking a break from Corrie to film the new series of Red Dwarf, which Craig said would be on TV this autumn.
Asked if he was returning to Coronation Street soon as Lloyd, Craig said he'd be back filming at the end of this month. This should mean we'll see him on screen a few weeks later, so perhaps later April or early May. I wonder what his return storyline will be as Tracy, Amy, Beth and Craig are now living in his old home. Maybe he'll move into the Streetcars office with Steve again?
Lloyd was last seen on Corrie in December last year when he moved away from Weatherfield after splitting up with the awful Cheryl Gray. Lloyd packed up his troubles in old kit bag, wore a natty hat and smiled as he left Corrie to a 10-horn salute from the Streetcars cabs. Before he left, he sold his share of the cab firm to Becky.

Thing is, when you return so soon after 'leaving for good' ie., 4 or 5 months later, with your tail between your legs, and without making any effort for fame or fortune, all those involved in the car 10 car horn salute will feel duped, for giving a spectacular send-off obtained under false pretences. They'll feel it was just an extended vacation not a departure.
(Waits for chorus off stage, of:
"It's not real, it's only a soap!")
Makes you think "Nah, I'll pass." The next time you're asked to contribute into a whip-round for someone leaving work for pastures new.
Aww it'll be nice to see Lloyd back.
I like the guy, so I'm glad he's coming back. Maybe this time he can get a NICE chick?

I am absolutely thrilled to hear Lloyd is coming back. They ripped Eileen from Steve then Lloyd - leaving Steve adrift - get those three back together at Streetcars! Could there be a Beth/Craig/Lloyd scenario?
Has he been missed Not by me. Write the fool out. Where is he going to live now that he "sold" his house to Steve, it would have made much more sense if he had just rented it to him.
The writers/producer KNEW that Craig Charles was only going to be out for a few months so that he could do Red Dwarf, so why did they make his exit seem so final?
remember when he got suspended and he wasn't talked about for about a year then he just appeared again...if the producers knew he was having a few months off why didn't they just send him off on a world cruise. i guess since steve bought becky's shares of streetcars back he can sell half the company back to lloyd. it would be nice if he settled down with a nice woman...he put in a good acting performance when he had his storyline with cheryl.
Exclusive! Loyd returns in a cloud of smoke as his car spectacually sets on fire and viewers are left wondering if he will live as Steve comes to the rescue, shocked to see his old mate.
He SPOILER alert................
does live.
