Coronation Street Spoilers: Alison King Returns As Carla?

Alison King may finally be returning to Corrie after a long break from the soap. Carla is arguably one of the most popular characters on the show and fans are delighted that she is coming back! She has been gone since June last year after a dramatic story line with her exes Nick (Adam Rickett) and Robert (Tristan Gemmil). She left for a more peaceful life in Devon, and of course to get away from all the drama.

But her return may not be the best news for her pal Michelle (Kim Marsh) who is now dating Carla’s ex Robert. Carla and Robert have a long and painful history together and this may cause a barrier in the two’s friendship. Carla left Robert last year after choosing to be single than be with him or Nick. She left the two men heart broken. Michelle and Carla have been friends for years but can they make it through this?
