Tonight's Coronation Street (May 6) saw the return of the beloved Norris Cole to the street.

Norris came back in the nick of time, near the first episode's end. Just as a fracas between Freda and Mary started to turn nasty, Norris rolled up in a cab to stop the fight.

The altercation was the conclusion to Mary's increasing tension throughout the episode. Her fretting started when she heard from Freda that Norris was selling No. 3.

Later, she realised that there were no silent retreats in Shepton, where Norris was supposedly spending his time.

Panicking when she then found an ashes urn in the house, Mary accused Freda of murdering Norris, screaming down the street for someone to call the police.
