"Cilla is incredibly famous and it would be difficult to see how she could appear in Coronation Street as a different character."
Well said. I can however see EastEnders snapping her up as a long lost Aunt and younger cousin to Peggy's liverpudlian Grandmother who moved to Walford in 1962.
It's obviously because it is Easter and it's a nice feature to have a Corrie episode on this day, but why discuss something that is actually happening when you can make something up, and discuss that instead.
I agree with you, but its nice to hope that Corrie will return to Sunday instead of 2 eps on a Friday!
Knowing ITV, they'd reinstate the Sunday episode
and
keep the 2 Friday episodes. I think they could do with some major rescheduling of the soaps but its a bit awkward and not so black and white when it comes to actually scheduling them. Thats unless the BBC co operate and move Eastenders to a fixed slot (unlikely).
The astonishing story behind the difficult birth of Britain's longest-running soap is revealed in Florizel Street, a one off drama from ITV Studios, announced today as part of the BBC Four new season launch.
Richard Klein, Controller BBC Four, says: "Florizel Street is a typically thought-provoking BBC Four commission. It pinpoints a significant moment when Britain emerged from the greyness of the Fifties, led by a resurgence of culture in the north of England. Only BBC Four would engage in popular culture in this way, recreating and exploring the history behind its birth and helping to understand why it went on to engage so many people."

Excellent news, and rather ironic that a few pages back we were discussing those planned wartime spin-offs! Although not quite the same. It will be very interesting viewing modern portrayals of all those great actors and actresses.
