Coronation Street legend wants to return after 30 years away

It’s been nearly three decades since Sherrie Hewson departed Corrie as Maureen Webster.

First known for her relationship with supermarket manager Reg Holdsworth, the much-loved character.

She also went on to marry the legendary Fred Elliott and Bill Webster, before she departed from the ITV soap in 1997.

But now, speaking to new online bingo brand Zingo Bingo, Sherrie has opened up on the potential love interest she’d like to see for Maureen if she were to return to the cobbles.

Sherrie – who has since gone on to star in both Hollyoaks and Emmerdale – lifted the lid on why she’d love to make a Corrie comeback.

She told Zingo Bingo: “I loved every second of Coronation Street. It was a wonderful show to be part of. I still watch it now. I love it, and I’d go back in a heartbeat.

“Maureen’s still alive, and I think my character lives in Germany? I married Fred Elliott.

“Then I married Kevin Webster’s father, Bill Webster, and we went to Germany. I’m Sally Webster’s ex-mother-in-law, so I still belong.

“Bill Webster owned the garage, so I believe Maureen has part of that garage. I think Kevin Webster owes her some of that garage, and I could go back and demand part of the garage, so there’s a storyline!

“I always tell people, when they go into soaps, take your year’s contract. That’s all you’ve got, and if you get another year, it’s a bonus.

“You’re very lucky if they go, we like this character, we’ll write for this character, and we’ll keep this character.

“That is luck, and it’s fabulous, but it might not happen. I was there for a long time. I was very sad to leave and sad to say goodbye to everybody. I was terribly sad to leave, but in these soaps, you don’t go in them for life.

“That’s how everybody should look at it and go, it’s been great to be here, but I understand if my stories come to an end or the writers feel that there isn’t anything else to write about.”
