News on Craig Charles' return to Coronation Street

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.
