For Corrie fans, the Street just wouldn’t be the same without its golden oldie stars like Ken Barlow, Rita Tanner and Audrey Roberts.

But the coronavirus pandemic raised fears that the Weatherfield legends wouldn’t be able to return to the cobbles for months.

Now Street icon Bill Roache – and his doctor – have said that Corrie’s popular pensioners will be back in the Rovers Return this autumn which means he will be back on screen when Bill and the show celebrates its 60th anniversary later this year.

And for 88-year-old Bill that day can’t come soon enough. “I’m looking forward to it – I don’t want to slow down. I want to speed up! “They have started filming again, but not for us oldies.
