'Coronation Street' Rebecca Callard hopes for return

Coronation Street guest star Rebecca Callard has revealed that she would like to return to the soap for more episodes in the future.

The actress recently filmed a short guest stint in the role of Ruth, a convict who will soon befriend Fiz Stape behind bars before things turn sour when it emerges that she has been dealing drugs at the prison.

Speaking to Inside Soap about her time at Coronation Street, Callard admitted: "It was so much fun to play a baddie because I'm not hard in real life at all. A few people have said to me that I'm going to be hated, so maybe I'll change my hair now!"

Discussing the chances of a comeback for Ruth, she continued: "At the moment, I have the summer off to look after my children, but I'd definitely love to do more episodes. I really like playing Ruth, so hopefully she'll be back at some point."

Rebecca is the daughter of former Coronation Street star Beverley Callard, who bowed out from her role as Liz McDonald earlier this year.

Discussing her mum, Rebecca said: "She'll definitely be tuning in, and she also gave me lots of technical advice about how Coronation Street is filmed."

The character of Ruth will be introduced in Monday night's Coronation Street double bill.
