The 51-year-old, who played Weatherfield haidresser Denise Osbourne for four years between 1992 and 1996, admitted that the ITV1 soap launched her career and hopes one day that she will make another return.
Speaking on This Morning, she said: "As far as I'm concerned - I've always said - I was schlepping around in theatre for 10 years before I got Corrie and I'm forever grateful. It gave me a career and I love them to bits.
She briefly reprised her role in May 2007, shortly after Tracy Barlow's trial, for a storyline which saw her character allow old flame Ken Barlow (William Roache) the opportunity to bond with his estranged son, Daniel.
Of a potential comeback, she joked: "The door is still open...and Antony [Cotton] and Craig [Kelly] are in it at the moment, so I've got to go haven't I?!"
Black appeared as Hazel Tyler in Channel 4 drama Queer As Folk alongside current Corrie actors Craig Kelly - who played her screen son Vince Tyler - and Antony Cotton (Alexander Perry).
