Julie Walters: "Coronation Street will have to wait"

Coronation Street producer Phil Collins said last year that he'd love national treasure / actress Julie Walters to join Corrie. So would we, here on the Coronation Street Blog, according to our poll.

In this week's Radio Times, Julie Walters is interviewed and says this about being approached to join Corrie.

"I did once mention that I'd love a part in Corrie and they were immediately on the phone to various agents. But I think that might have to wait for later in my career now."

I think she'd be fabulous as Audrey's posh cousin.
