Overview
- Callard, who spoke to WhichBingo on Sunday, said she "can't now" return because she is filming another project and added "never say never."
- She criticised Coronation Street bosses for killing off Jim McDonald, calling the move "crazy," and praised actor Charlie Lawson as one of the best she has worked with.
- The soap wrote Jim out last month with an off‑screen pneumonia death that was relayed to his son Steve by phone.
- Several outlets report the death will lead to a reveal that newcomer Ben Driscoll is Jim’s previously unknown son with Maggie Driscoll, which remains unconfirmed.
- Callard said the workload of big soap storylines is too intense and noted current work on Fair City and I'm A Celebrity... South Africa limits her in the short term.
