Kevin Kennedy was interviewed on ITV's Breakast show today about bringing Curly Watts back to Coronation Street. Kevin will be starring in the new Corrie musical Street of Dreams as the hapless Curly.
He says he misses playing Curly and misses the people he used to work with at Coronation Street. He talked about shooting a scene as Curly with Racquel when he named the star after her, a wonderful scene that this fan remembers well. Asked if there was a chance he'd be back on the soap, he says: "You never know" and admits it's no secret that he'd love to return. As would we!
Talking about the new musical, Kevin said it'll be a spectacular, amazing stageshow, narrated by Paul O'Grady. It's an all-singing, all-dancing spectacular and advises people to get their tickets asap as they're selling very fast indeed.
Kevin said his children are too young to remember him as Curly on Corrie so they'll be along to see their dad in the new musical show in Manchester.
