“Coronation Street has changed a lot and evolved with the times. It’s a different soap from when I was in it, but when I joined it was a different show from 10 years before that.
“It changes for the better I think and deals with brilliant ideas and stories.
Kevin also revealed that people will still call out the name Raquel, which is the name of Curly’s ex-wife, when they bump into him.
He said: “That will never leave, and it’s a humbling experience.
“When people do talk to you in the street or shout ‘Raquel’ and things like that it’s a real compliment.
“It means they remember your work. you can’t ask for more than that. they’ll say things like ‘When that storyline was happening I was getting married’. People remember it and it’s great.”

A second said:”There is a place for Curly but it would have to be worthwhile.”
A third added: “I would like to see Curly back , but not for the sake of it. Maybe just a guest stint where he’s in the area for work and calls into Coronation Street to see how it’s changed. There are still a lot of characters still in it from his time that would know him.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
