Coronation Street legend wants to return to show after 30 years away from the cobbles

Actress Sherrie Hewson, who departed Coronation Street in 1997 as Maureen Webster, revealed she would return to the ITV show "in a heartbeat." Nearly three decades after leaving, Hewson expressed her desire to reprise the beloved role.
Maureen Webster famously married Reg Holdsworth, Fred Elliott, and Bill Webster before relocating to Germany. Hewson believes her character still retains a claim to Bill's garage, potentially providing narrative justification for a return storyline.
Advising fellow actors, Hewson noted they are "very lucky" to have characters kept on screen long-term. She encouraged colleagues to value yearly contracts, acknowledging that stories naturally conclude when writers exhaust narrative possibilities.
Pitching a potential storyline, Hewson suggested Maureen could demand a share of the garage from Kevin Webster. As Sally Webster's ex-mother-in-law, Hewson believes the character still belongs on the show despite decades away.
Since leaving Coronation Street, Hewson has appeared in Hollyoaks and Emmerdale. She remains an active viewer and fan of the program, demonstrating her continued connection to the ITV series that established her career.
