Phil Wheeler, jewellery dealer to return to Corrie?
Irish actor Simon Delaney, who played Phil Wheeler the jewellery dealer, might be returning to Coronation Street.
In an interview with the Irish Independent, Simon said has said he will do anything to make his role on Coronation Street permanent - except become Gail Rodwell's on-screen lover. Well, you can hardly blame him for the latter if he wants to stay alive.
Simon says that he hopes to return to the show before Christmas.
"It could be re-occurring," he said. "They take a look at how you got on and then decide if they will bring you back to take over the pub or buy the corner shop or sleep with Gail or be a chef."
Asked if he would like to be the latest love interest for Gail Rodwell - nee Potter, previously Tilsley, Tilsley again, Platt, Hillman and McIntyre - he added: "I draw the line at some things. A chef I'll play, but Gail Tilsley's lover? Nah."
Simon said the response to his appearance on the show was "staggering".
"It was unbelievable," he said. "When people woke up on Saturday morning they must have thought I died because of the coverage it got on Twitter. "I've done shows like The Good Wife and movies with Vince Vaughn, but seven minutes on Coronation Street was the most reaction I've ever got."

He was great! He could be a nice friend for Mary. A bit young and tame for Liz.
Put him with Eva - he'd cherish her and also put a ring on it. He could be Alec Gilroy to her Bet Lynch. The odd pairings tend to work in Corrie: Alec and Bet, Ashley and Maxine, Curly and Raquel.
I'd love to see Mrs Kitchen back again. She was great to watch. These 2 characters would both be great assets to the street
Paddy Houlihan who plays Mrs Brown's son in Mrs Brown's Boys was going to play the part of the jeweller. He told the crowd after the show in Cardiff last weekend.
