Pics: Cilla Battersby-Brown's Corrie return

Here's the first picture showing Cilla Battersby-Brown back on Coronation Street. We'll see Wendi Peters back on screen as Cilla on Wednesday 22 October.

Radio Times says that Cilla will turn up and interrupt a meal that Fiz and Tyrone have arranged for Roy, Chesney and Sinead. Her arrival leaves everyone stunned, especially when is turns out that she has both an overnight bag and a mysterious injury.  

Actress Wendi Peters - who is back for a six-week guest stint - said recently of he return: "I'm really thrilled to have the opportunity to revisit Cilla and the cobbles for a short while and to see what she has been up to for the last seven years."

Cilla's new storyline will help facilitate Jennie McAlpine's maternity leave when she leaves the show in the autumn to have her first baby.  Read more about Corrie's pregnant pause here.
