Coronation Street delves back into the Scott Emberton mystery tonight (August 24) as Johnny Connor makes his return to the cobbles.

Fans have been left to speculate over a mysterious connection between Scott (Tom Roberts) and Johnny (Richard Hawley) since April.

In Monday's episode, Johnny finally reappears in Weatherfield after months away in France, during which he spent time with Eva Price and his granddaughter Susie.

Johnny surprises his daughter Carla (Alison King) by tuning up unexpectedly at the Rovers Return, having not told anybody that he was due back.
