CORONATION Street's Sally Webster turns into the soap's legendary Hilda Ogden in a light-hearted storyline.
Viewers will see her resemble roller-wearing Hilda to put off potential buyers for her home.
Well-spoken Sally (Sally Dynevor) turns herself into a shrill fishwife as she dons a hair scarf and rollers, just like gossip Hilda - who she used to lodge with.
In amusing scenes. she will also pass off scruffy neighbour Eddie Windass (Steve Huison) as her new boyfriend and turn the house into a pigsty that stinks of decaying food and rubbish.
Sally pulls out all the stops to prevent estranged husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) selling their marital home and dividing the profits.
She kicks him out over his affair and baby with tragic tram crash victim Molly Dobbs.
An insider told TV Biz: "These scenes will provide the comedy Corrie is famous for and make a great change from the tragic scenes concerning the tram crash.
"To see Sally in her normally pristine home surrounded by household rubbish, dressed like Hilda Ogden, draped round the unkempt Eddie and talking like a dirty-mouthed trollop will be absolutely fantastic."
But there is trouble ahead for Sally when Kevin rumbles her game.
Hilda, played by Jean Alexander from 1964 until 1987, was one of Corrie's most iconic characters.
Her partnership with long-suffering hubby Stan (Bernard Youens) produced some of the soap's greatest moments.
Her departure was watched by 27 million fans - its biggest audience.
