Poll: Should Curly return for Corrie's 50th?

Last week, I asked your opinion on how Peggy Mitchell will bow out of EastEnders when Walford matriarch Barbara Windsor leaves the BBC soap next year.

From the thousands and thousands of votes, two clear favourites emerged in the exit plot stakes. Nearly a third of voters (30.2%) think that Peggy will head off to Portugal to live happily ever after with Grant, while 24.5% believe that she'll be sent down for murdering her husband Archie (Larry Lamb).

Meanwhile, 13.5% of those polled think she'll die a natural death and the same percentage envisage her being driven out of Walford in a black cab. Classic but boring.

The 'she'll be murdered' option took 11.4% of the vote, 5.9% clicked the 'other' button and 1.1% opted for my personal favourite - she'll be kidnapped never to be seen again.

It could happen, though! Jake Mood, anyone?

Swiftly moving onto this week's poll topic - Kevin Kennedy and his ongoing plight to return for Coronation Street's 50th anniversary.



Since April, the 48-year-old Curly Watts actor has been harping on about a potential comeback to the ITV soap to tie in with its 50th anniversary.

One minute he's 'in talks' for a return that's being "discussed at the highest levels" and the next thing we know, the rumours are untrue.

But hold on a minute... I thought you said that...

OK, so these quotes are taken out of context all the time.

I thought we'd heard the last of the rumours for a few months - until Thursday. Yep, Kevin was recently quoted as saying that he's now spoken to them and is hopeful of a comeback. Understandably, however, Corrie says that it's too early to be revealing anniversary plans.

So whether meetings have or haven't taken place, would you like to see Curly returning to Weatherfield with those iconic glasses?
