This week, reports suggested that Kym Marsh is leaving her role on the BBC drama Waterloo Road as Nicky Walters.
A source told The Sun: “Kym is in a new chapter of her life. She’s heading towards 50 and wants to try as many new things as she can.”
And whilst Coronation Street wouldn’t necessarily be a ‘new thing’ for Kym, with the star appearing on the soap for more than a decade, fans are certain this news will lead to a new stint for her on Corrie.
One fan commented: “Girlypop back in her Michelle Connor era?? The nation cheered!”
Another fan shared: “Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape and I cannot forget. Kym Marsh you’re the one, you still turn me on, Michelle’s coming home again.”
A third fan added:” Kym marsh quit Waterloo Road? OMG, anyone else feeling delusional right now?”
A final person finished: “Need Kym Marsh back on those cobbles like I need air in my lungs.”
But is Kym actually returning to the soap, or is it just all Hear’Say?

Is Kym Marsh returning to Coronation Street? All the ‘clues’
Of course, the biggest clue that Kym could be returning to Corrie is that she’s no longer reportedly filming for Waterloo Road.
But, this isn’t the only ‘clue’ that she could be heading back to the show.
Recently, Coronation Street makeup artist Gillian Walsh shared a rather interesting story on her Instagram page. She shared an image of some makeup, pairing it with the words: “Had a very special guest in my chair today.”

And then, Kym Marsh also shared a story of her own on her Instagram page, showing a photo of herself with glam makeup, caption the image: “Just got home!!! Looong day today!”
But, could this just be a coincidence? Both stories were posted yesterday (Thursday, March 20). But, was Kym really back in the Coronation Street makeup chair? And, does this mean Michelle’s heading back to our screens?
Fans are definitely begging the soap to make it happen…
