Asked if she will enjoy her break from playing Carla Connor in the show, Alison replies:
"Yeah – it’s not actually a break, I’m actually leaving.
Because they’re leaving the door open, I think people originally called it a break – and people are asking ‘when are you coming back?’ and I’m like ‘I’m not’. I’m looking forward to going back to doing different things and being versatile. I was meant to give myself four years at the most and I’ve done an amazing ten years but it’s knackering. I need to creatively be a few other people now and see my daughter a bit more."
Well, that's a turn up for the books. In July of last year after her break from the show as announced, she said "I'd definitely like to return".
