Coronation Street is about to welcome a medium to the cobbles, who will certainly cause a stir.
It is believed the clairvoyant, Rosemary (played by Sophie Thompson), will be in touch with fan-favourites who have passed on.
The character will get in touch with evil villain Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) and Alf Roberts (Bryan Mosley) in coming weeks.
Sophie, 56, was quizzed about which other legendary faces she would bring back, she confessed: “Hilda Ogden. Jack and Vera. Ena Sharples - all those ladies who used to drink stout in the Rovers.
“I wish I could bring them back and have a milk stout with them in black and white,” she told the Daily Star.
The former EastEnders’ actress added: “Corrie will always have that spirit, those strong women and great storylines.”
Bill Tarmey played Jack and his on-screen wife Vera was brought to life by Liz Dawn.
Sadly, the pair have both passed away but it is thought they will be remembered by the introduction of a statue at the ITV soap’s base in Manchester.
A source close to the show added to the publication: “It’s a fabulous idea and something that the cast and all the families would relish.
“A stature of them together would be such a lovely tribute.
“The thought of them actually being reunited in this form of tribute is superb.”
Meanwhile, there could be terror on Coronation Street should Richard Hillman make a surprise comeback.
Sophie teased Rosemary’s upcoming story to Metro, hinting: “Richard Hillman is the key to this because Gail [Platt, Helen Worth] starts to think he’s cursed the family and obviously things aren’t going great for them!
“I think it's genuinely disturbing. Obviously this guy was not a very nice person and affected her life quite profoundly. To hear even his name must chill her bones. She’s disturbed.
“It’s like you want to know more, but you don’t want to know - she’s in that place at the moment - with very mixed feelings.”
Coronation Street continues tonight on ITV at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
