ITV “in talks” with cast over Cold Feet revival

But she returned home to Britain star in more episodes of the ITV drama, before Rachel was killed off in the final season’s dramatic vehicle crash.

According to the Mirror, ITV bosses are negotiating with the core cast – which included Hermione Morris, John Thomson and James Nesbitt.

As reported by Telegraph contributer Neil Midgley in July and followed up today by the Sun, the programme is expected to return to the channel’s flagship Sunday 9pm slot left empty when Downton Abbey ends later this year.

It focused on the ups and downs that relationships often have to tackle, through the stories of three different couples played by stars James Nesbitt, Hermione Norris, John Thomson, Robert Bathurst, Fay Ripley and Helen Baxendale.

Cold Feet was sometimes billed as the British Friends, so it’s appropriate that Baxendale – who’d guested on the smash US sitcom – was part of the regular cast as advertising executive Rachel Bradley.

The ITV show ran for five series between 1998 and 2003.

Obviously Helen won’t be returning given that her character was shockingly killed off in he fifth and final series when a lorry crashed into the side of her auto.

As ITV prepare to bring hit 90s show Cold Feet back to our screens, find out what the stars have been up to since – and how they’ve changed since we first met them as Adam, Rachel, Pete, Jenny, David and Karen…

Irishman James, now 50, has racked up some major roles since playing Adam Williams in Cold Feet.

After his stint in Corrie he moved onto Waterloo Road but since then high-profile roles have seemingly eluded him.

Other appearances include Reggie Perrin, Monday Monday alongside Jenny Agutter, New Tricks and Moving On.

Her career also took a turn towards the culinary, with Ripley authoring two recipe books – Fay’s Family Food and What’s For Dinner? in 2009 and 2012 respectively.

He went on to appear in TV shows including My Dad’s The Prime Minister, Wild at Heart Downton Abbey, appearing in six episodes of the hit ITV drama as Sir Anthony Strallan, in addition to various theatre roles. He’s also returned to the stage, starring in a number of West End productions.

More recently he appeared in Sky One’s adaptation of best-selling novel Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death alongside fellow Cold Feeter, Hermione Norris.
