Alexandra Mardell 'pleased' her Coronation Street character won't be killed off

Alexandra Mardell is “pleased” there is chance for Emma Brooker to return to ‘Coronation Street’.

The 28-year-old actress is glad her character will not be killed off on the cobbles, because it means there is a “possibility” for her to return to Weatherfield.

Alexandra said: "I'm really, really pleased. I think even saying goodbye now is hard enough, but that little kind of hope of, 'One day!' There's a possibility I could go back. That keeps you going - it's not goodbye forever, you never know! But yeah, I'm really glad that she wasn't killed off.

"I don't know what the future holds, but I'm just so glad that Emma's still alive - and hopefully she remains alive!"

Alexandra admitted being on 'Corrie' was “a career goal” and “surreal” as she prepares to move on, and she will miss her co-star Sue Nicholls, who plays Audrey Roberts, among others.

She said: “Being on 'Corrie' was always a career goal that I really wanted to do, so the fact that I was lucky enough to have that opportunity and be on 'Corrie', it’s just ridiculous, it’s still so surreal and I’m forever grateful for that.

"I kind of miss working with Sue [Nicholls] in the salon at Audrey’s as well. We had some amazing scenes in there, and that’s when you get everybody coming in and out - as well as the Rovers, which was lucky so I kind of had the best of both worlds, getting to work with so many people.

"But yeah, I’ve been really, really lucky. I can’t complain at all."
