Jack and Vera to return to Corrie for Children in Need

There's a lovely little snippet in today's Mirror which I do hope is true.  It says that Jack and Vera Duckworth will return to Coronation Street for a Children in Need special.

And of course, as they're both dead characters, they'll be returning as ghosts.

Actor Bill Tarmey (Jack) will play the Ghost of Christmas Past and Liz Dawn (Vera) is ­expected to play a ­phantom. But the Mirror says this will depend on her health, as she has emphysema.

A TV source tells the Mirror: ­“Getting Bill Tarmey ‘back from the dead’ is a stroke of genius.”

Corrie have already been involved in Children in Need this year. Read more on that here.
