Corrie's Tyrone: I'd love Jackie back full-time

Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall has revealed that he would like to see his screen mum return on a more permanent basis.

Later this month, the 26-year-old's character Tyrone Dobbs is to wed his long-term love Molly Compton (Vicky Binns) in a classic will-they-won't-they ceremony. His screen mum Jackie Dobbs (Margi Clarke) makes another brief comeback for the nuptials following her successful short stint last year.

However, Halsall has said that he would like to see Clarke return in a regular role. He told DS: "I'd like to see Margi return full-time, but whether Tyrone as a character would is a different matter! Every time she's around, she just causes him heartache. Jackie would have to do a lot of grovelling for Tyrone to accept his mum back in his life full-time."

He added: "At the end of the day, though, she's still his mum and there'll always be that great relationship between the pair of them."
