Katherine Kelly rules out Coronation Street return
Katherine Kelly, who played the wonderful Becky McDonald in Coronation Street, will be turning up as ex-soldier Jane Lowry in Sky 1’s jihadi drama Strike Back.
Her character, also known as Jihadi Jane, has converted to Islam after falling in love with a Muslim fanatic, played by Aussie actor Don Hany, 42.
And Katherine admits she jumped at the challenge of portraying a villain.
She told the Mirror: “It’s totally different to anything I’ve done before, which is why I took it, for the challenge. This is the first thing I’ve done that’s international, with a massive international cast. I imagine people will watch and not realise it’s me.”
And she's also ruled out a return to the cobbles, telling the Mirror that Corrie is no longer the same place she left behind in 2011.
She says: “I see them a lot but it’s different, they’re in a different place. It doesn’t seem like that job exists any more. It’s that thing of, you go somewhere amazing on holiday and think, ‘Let’s go again next year’. It’s never as good.”

Can't say I blame her. It would be taking a massive step backwards.
IT's not too often that a former major character could come back and find a successful place in the show. I think the canvas moves on so quickly that few of them could unless there is an established family still in the show (a Barlow, a Platt/Tilsley, a Connor, a Webster). There would really be nothing for Becky now that Kylie is gone even if the little'uns are her niece/nephew.
There's still Roy and Steve, but point taken.
I can't blame her either. Becky got her happy ending and I hope the writers leave it at that.
Besides, if she didn't come back for her own sister's funeral, coming back now would seem really contrived.
