Suranne Jones "definitely doesn't want to" return to 'Coronation Street'.

The actress - who played feisty Karen McDonald in the Manchester soap for four years until 2004 - has recently been linked with a comeback to mark the show's 50th anniversary next year, but says she is too busy taking on other projects to consider it.

definitely doesn't want to

She said: "I wouldn't go back to 'Corrie'. I think you should move on. I'm even reluctant to say 'never say never' because I definitely don't want to. I love 'Coronation Street' and the people but I don't miss it. I like the variety I can do now. I am a bit greedy like that."

Suranne turned 30 earlier this year but the actress insists she was happy to celebrate the milestone age as she believes it will help her win better roles.

She explained to the Lancaster and Morecambe Citizen newspaper: "Turning 30 didn't bother me at all, like it does a lot of women. I thought it was great because in your mid thirties as an actor you get better parts and it opens the door to roles you were too young for before. Saying that, I've played thirty-odd-year-olds for years. I must have an old face."
