Guess who's back on Coronation Street? That's right, Julie Carp is making her grand return to the cobbles! Fans of the show are in for a treat next month as a familiar face reunites with the residents of Weatherfield, just in time for Eileen Grimshaw's big exit.
After an incredible 25 years on the show, actress Sue will be saying goodbye to her character Eileen in the coming months. But before she goes, viewers will get to see Eileen reunite with her younger half-sister Julie, played by the talented Katy Cavanagh. The actress has already returned to filming and Julie's first appearance is set to air on February 21st.
Katy first joined the cast in 2008 and quickly became a beloved character on the street. Her time on the show lasted until 2015, when Julie said goodbye and headed off for new adventures with her boyfriend Brian Packham. But as we all know, things don't always go as planned in Soapland and Brian eventually made his way back to the street after their relationship fell apart.
In her previous storylines, Julie had a holiday romance with Kirk Sutherland before setting her sights on Eileen's son Jason. It was later revealed that Eileen was actually Julie's half-sister, causing some tension between the two when Julie had a fling with Eileen's boyfriend Jesse Chadwick.
But now, Julie is back and it seems like she has a secret that will shake things up for Eileen. Speaking about her return, Katy said she was excited to dust off Julie's quirky wardrobe and step back onto the cobbles. And the show's producer Kate Brooks is equally thrilled to have Julie back, promising a story full of love, laughter, and tears.
As Eileen and Todd Grimshaw welcome back Julie with open arms, viewers will be left wondering what exactly has brought her back to Weatherfield. And how will Brian react to seeing his ex-girlfriend again? You'll have to tune in to find out!
