Wendi Peters has recognised support from fans who are loving Cilla Battersby-Brown’s return to Classic Coronation Street.
The actress, who is currently starring as Dr Nina Bulsara in BBC daytime soap Doctors, first appeared on the Corrie cobbles between 2003 and 2007.
Bursting onto our screens as mother from hell Cilla (full name Priscilla Petunia Aurelia, fact fans), she was revealed to be the neglectful mum of established character Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine).
Coupling up with layout Les Battersby (Bruce Jones), it wasn’t long before she came to blows with his estranged wife Janice (Vicky Entwistle) and installed herself at No. 5 with son Chesney (Sam Aston).
Her stint on the show is currently being broadcast on ITV3 on weekday afternoons following the broadcaster’s decision to start repeating old episodes from 1986 onwards, seven years ago.
