Will Nigel report on his Street return?

Nigel Pivaro, who famously portrayed Terry Duckworth in Coronation Street, is being sounded out about making a brief return to the show he left more than five years ago. Producers want him back to coincide with the departure of Liz Dawn, who plays his mum, Vera. But Pivaro has turned his back on acting to pursue a career as a journalist. He works for the Ashton Reporter, a free weekly in Greater Manchester. Some time ago he said: "I'm not in journalism for the fame, but for a sense of achievement." (Via Manchester Evening News)
