Nigel Havers, who played Coronation Street cad Lewis Archer was interviewed on Loose Women yesterday. And in the interview he said that he'd love to return to the show as Lewis.
"I'd love to go back," he said. "Never say never. I do feel responsible for £40,000, so I feel like I should give it back one way or another. They're so clever in Corrie, they'll come up with a plot and it'll be brilliant.
I'd been a fan of Corrie since it started, so I was delighted."
Lewis left Weatherfield in 2013 after stealing cash from Gail Platt and fleeing to Belize. His original stint on the show after joining in 2009 saw him cheat on Audrey Roberts and scam Peter Barlow. He also snogged Deirdre Barlow in the bookies and the kiss was exposed when it was caught on CCTV.
But would you want Lewis to return - Yay or Nay?
I say Yay! But would Audrey and Gail ever forgive him for what he did to them both? I say NAY! Well, Gail probably would. She's daft enough!

Yay! Yay! Yay!
ReplyDeleteHe was brilliant, I'd love to see him come back! He's right the writers would come up with some plausible story for it!
Absolutely YAY. I'm not as sure that the writers could manage to do it plausibly, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief just this once!!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely, YAY YAY YAY! I loved Lewis Archer, great character and hopefully it would give Audrey more to do. Would be great to see him scam Phelan and Eileen - just desserts or what?
ReplyDeleteI agree - yay. Just curious, however: so often we insist that baddies must get the commeupance they deserve. Why is Lewis universally loved, despite his con-artist ways?
ReplyDeleteLewis is charming...and deep down he did love Audrey. I would like to see him back.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't be back for long as the actor is probably in demand. I should think with six episodes a week, they'll be churning out as many stories as possible. Lewis might as well be one of them and it would give Audrey a storyline that doesn't involve her family.
ReplyDeleteYay!!!
ReplyDeleteAnon at 18.35, I think it's to do with Nigel Havers being a popular actor and he's a bit type cast as a charming cad.
ReplyDeleteI also say yes, but warn him Gail doesn't have a husband at the moment! ;)
If he comes back let him redeem himself by returning Gail's money (which he stole some other biddy).

DeleteNo!!! But only if every Weatherfield women can kick him in the nuts.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely !! Sign him up asap Kate !!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes - with Claudia too :)
ReplyDeleteYes! But only to let Audrey, who needs a story, con it back from him.
ReplyDeleteAnon 18.35, Lewis is a cad but he isn't spiteful.
