A CORONATION Street legend has dashed fans' hope of her returning to the cobbles as she lands a new role. Wendi Peters has no plans to return to Weatherfield as it's been revealed she's joined rival soap opera Doctors.

The 54-year-old will play the role of a brand new doctor in the hit BBC One show from February. She has already started filming at Leatherbridge’s famous Mill and will play Dr Nina Bulsara.
