He made women swoon across the UK as Ross Poldark, and Kate Oates has admitted she wants someone “very handsome” like Aidan to join Weatherfield.
Kate recently joined Corrie’s production team in the hope of boosting ratings, after her previous role as a producer of rival soap, Emmerdale.
Kate told The Mirror: “British TV has really raised its game.
“There is a lot of talent out there and some of it is very handsome. Someone like Aidan would be brilliant.”
Kate has obviously got her eyes set on adding a new hunk to the ITV soap, but she’s also got a few other ideas too.
The former Emmerdale producer has also admitted to introducing topics such as extremism, as long as they are dealt with “responsibly”.
She added: “Everyone would have to be comfortably uncomfortable with it. I wouldn’t be closed to it. It’s very sensitive and people are affected by it in a very real way.
“For me it’s about telling the best stories I can and using the characters the best way I can.”
As well as possibly adding Aidan into the cast of Coronation Street, Kate has also recently hinted about bringing back some popular characters.
“I’ve been tossing around a few ideas in my head about who will be back,” Kate told The Daily Star.
Kate has been preparing for her new role at Coronation Street by watching “lots and lots of TV” to make sure she knows what else is going on in the realm of TV.
