Exclusive: Tina O'Brien returning to Corrie - or not?

Over the silly season that was Christmas when the Coronation Street press office was closed for its holidays, a story ran in the press that Tina O'Brien was returning to Corrie as Sarah Grimshaw. The story said Sarah would be returning to Corrie with her daughter Bethany who would be 13 years old by now.  In fact, Bethany would turn 13 this June.

The Daily Mail went as far as reporting that Tina has signed a new contract.

Well, here at the Coronation Street Blog we've received confrmation that Tina has not been formally approached to return to Coronation Street and that the story about her return to Corrie which first appeared in The Mirror was nothing more than a rumour. 

And Tina O'Brien has now posted to twitter the following which confirms she hasn't been asked back to Coronation Street.  Shame, eh? I'd love to see her return.
