Should Len Windass make a comeback?




We know that the Windasses are all set for a big storyline this week, with Eddie and Anna getting the dreaded knock at the door from an army official.
It's going to be a ten hanky job tomorrow night. I'm sniffling already and that's just after watching the forty second preview on the ITV website.
If the Windasses are to play a major role in the Street, with Gary invalided home and all, I'm wondering if evil uncle Len (Conor Ryan) will re-appear. Many people loathed him, I know that, but I thought he was brilliant as a baddie and I'd love to see him back again.
I'm really curious about how the whole Windass story will evolve. It sounds potentially really good. With Gary coming back injured, will the adoption still go ahead (and if so, will Eddie finally have to quit smoking and go around with his dressing gown properly tied)? Anna mentioned something about adopting two brothers - if this proceeds, will they be holy terrors? I do hope so. And how will a traumatised Gary cope with it all? Very much looking forward to it.

Len Windass works for charity?

Len Windass would only work for one charity, himself, but his portrayer, Conor Ryan, seems tireless in his efforts to give back to society now that he's in a position to do it. Ian Wylie of the MEN has a great interview in today's paper with Conor and it gives you a good understanding of how different this man is from his character, tough and threatening Len Windass. One of his upcoming gigs is at Albert Hall in London. Christmas Carols with the Stars (Dec. 10) is in aid of this blog's favourite charity, Leukemia Research. Conor was also a psychiatric nurse in Wythenshaw Hospital for many years so he also participates in local charity runs.

One interesting anecdote in that interview...you may remember seeing Len wearing a sheepskin jacket. That coat belonged to Conor's father who passed away before Conor got the role on Corrie. It's kind of a tribute and a very nice one. It's also a bit of a tradition as Roy Cropper's original bag belonged to David Neilson's late mother.

We don't see much of Len Windass and we won't see him at all for a few months as Conor is heading to Los Angeles to try his hand at auditions there.
