Coronation Street star Maximus Evans took home the gong for Villain of the Year at last night\u2019s British Soap Awards 2022<\/a> \u2013 and now the actor has discussed whether he might return to the show further down the line.<\/p>\n

His character Corey Brent was sent to prison for a minimum of 14 years last November after he brutally murdered Seb Franklin during an attack on him and his girlfriend Nina, so a return is unlikely to be imminent.<\/p>

But chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> after picking up the award, Evans hinted that he\u2019d be open to reprising the role at some point, even suggesting that he\u2019d like to see some redemption for his character.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know because I think he got put away for so many years,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think it will be a little while, I\u2019d like it to be a while. And I think if he was to come back at any time I\u2019d like to see him maybe rehabilitated in some sense, you don\u2019t want him to come back as a villain again \u2013 but it\u2019s up to the showrunner to decide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked how long it might take to make a return \u2013 and what storylines he\u2019d like to be involved if he does come back, Evans responded: \u201cPersonally I have no idea, it\u2019s kind of just on the backburner.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019d like to see what would possibly happen if he interacted with [ex-girlfriend] Asha again. I think because their relationship was so toxic at the end, rightfully so, I\u2019d like to see if there was a possibility of maybe trying to\u2026 not to rekindle but to apologise and maybe find some sense of redemption. But I think it\u2019s going to be hard that\u2019s why it\u2019ll probably have to be a couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n
