Hayley Tamaddon played the fiery Delilah Dingle for two years before she was axed from the ITV soap in 2007, but now the actress has teased her return to the village.
"The door never closed for Delilah Dingle, the door was always left wide open for a return,” she revealed in an interview with OK! Magazine.
"I always thought that she should come back one day with David Metcalfe's baby, well his child, because they had a big thing before she left.”
The 40-year-old added: “I thought, 'What a good storyline that would be! That'll throw a spanner in the works with his love life at the moment.' He's had some good partners – including myself."

What a good storyline that would be! That'll throw a spanner in the works with his love life at the moment
Delilah burst onto screens as a runaway bride 10 years ago, where she embarked on romances with resident vet Paddy Kirk (played by Dominic Brunt), David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) and Carl King (Tom Lister) before making another speedy departure.
During that time, the brunette became embroiled in a scheme to steal £20,000 from David’s dad Eric Pollard (Christopher Chittell), but a change of heart saw her nab the entire lot before fleeing from the country.
While David has managed to settle down in the years following, he’s currently stuck in the middle of a romantic triangle with his wife Tracy (Amy Walsh) and ex Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) following a bizarre declaration of love from the latter.
Heartbroken, Tracy demanded that her former friend Leyla leave the village following the unforgivable betrayal, as viewers wonder if this is the end of the road for the recently jilted bride.
