Coronation Street finally brings back Ali Neeson next week after a long on-screen absence.
Ali (James Burrows) hasn't featured on screen for the past few months, leaving fans confused over where he'd disappeared to.
The doctor was at the centre of one of the show's biggest shock twists last year, as he killed gangster Ronan Truman to stop the villain from targeting his family.
Ali went into a downward spiral afterwards as he struggled with his guilt following his murderous move, but the plot was put on hold when he stopped appearing on screen.
Coronation Street's official website has confirmed that we'll see Ali again next week, as he makes a big decision about his future.
Fed up life at the Bistro, Ali announces that he's heading back to work in the medical profession. But is he really ready after everything he went through last year?
What to Read Next
Ali's reappearance comes just as the show has confirmed a surprise exit for his on-screen mum Michelle Connor.
Kym Marsh has announced that she's taking a break from Corrie and will be bowing out later this year.
Kym said yesterday: "When I was lucky enough to be offered four episodes on Coronation Street I could never in my wildest dreams have thought I’d be here thirteen years later.
"It’s been an incredibly difficult decision but it feels like the right time for me to take a break from the show and explore some other roles.
"But this isn’t the last you’ve heard of Michelle Connor, she’ll be back! I can’t wait to see what the writers have in store for the future."
Coronation Street airs Ali's decision on Monday, March 4 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
