Coronation Street's Jenny Connor is set to make her return to Weatherfield next week, without her husband Johnny.

But next week Jenny will make her return to Weatherfield, without Johnny, which will make Scott unhappy.

Jenny will explain to Scott that Johnny was all set to return with her but changed his mind at the last minute and opted to stay in France.

What to Read Next

When Jenny returns she is also shocked to find out the news about Oliver's diagnosis.

Next week, Steve and Leanne's son will be diagnosed with an incurable form of mitochondrial disease.

The news about Oliver's diagnosis upsets Jenny, who remembers her own son Tom, who died in May 2013 after drowning in a paddling pool.

When Emma admits her fears to Jenny for how Steve will cope, Jenny assures her that given time, Steve will get through it.

Earlier this week actress Jane Danson, who plays Leanne, spoke about how her character will try to deal with Oliver's diagnosis.

"Everyone around her is trying to help, but they all become punch bags for her emotion," Jane said.

"There's an element of denial to a point, but then once there's some acceptance she decides Oliver needs her and no-one else."

Coronation Street currently airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
