Coronation Street

Lately, soap characters have developed a habit of turning up after supposedly leaving for pastures new – as Kim Tate’s reappearance in Emmerdale proves.

In Corrie, Jim McDonald also returned, and now it’s Nick Tilsley who’s back in town. It seems he’s not bothered to keep in touch with his family either, because he has no idea about David’s stint in prison for beating up Gary or that he considered taking his own life.

Nick is suitably distraught and feels guilty for being so neglectful. He also tries to persuade Leanne to forgive him and take him back – to Toyah’s chagrin.

Elsewhere, Ali is questioned about Cormac’s death and Ronan’s crash and tells the police a pack of lies.
