Gloria Price to return to Coronation Street next year

Loads of Coronation Street fans were left bereft last night when Glorious Gloria swanned off in the back of a taxi under a cloud.  And my in-box this morning has more than a few emails asking if Gloria's coming back to our favourite soap.

The Coronation Street Blog is pleased to confirm that yes, Gloria will be returning to Coronation Street.

ITV have confirmed to us directly at the Coronation Street Blog that Gloria will be on screen in the new year.

Sue Johnston, who plays Gloria, is taking a short break from Corrie to film The Royle Family and Lapland.

Is everyone as happy as I am to hear Gloria's coming back?
