Acting legend Sally Lindsay has opened up about her time in Coronation Street, revealing that she would’ve loved to return to the soap alongside her friend and former co-star Suranne Jones – but was never asked.
Sally played Shelley Unwin from 2001-2006 and is still best friends with co-star Suranne, who portrayed Karen MacDonald between 2000 and 2004.
The actress recently reflected on her time on the show and confirmed that she really wanted to return for the funeral of Betty Williams (Betty Driver) in 2012, but never got the call.
‘I definitely would have gone back to Corrie for Betty’s funeral because she was a very dear friend,’ Sally told Yours Magazine.

‘Suranne said she would have done as well, but they never asked us.’
However, when asked if she would return now, Sally gave a slightly different answer.
‘It was a wonderful time. Suranne and I get asked that a lot, and obviously we’ve been very lucky in our careers, so at the moment, no.
