Coronation Street star Liam Mccheyne has confirmed that he is returning to the soap as Dylan Wilson very soon.

Sean Tully's son was seen throughout 2020 as he stayed with his dad and tried to bond with him, but things got in the way and he left the cobbles.

Now the actor has shared photos showing the Corrie logo on his scripts, and revealed when he is returning to filming.

He also teased that there may be a love interest for Sean on the horizon – something which has recently been confirmed in a Digital Spy exclusive, with former Brookside star Simon O'Brien joining the cast as Weatherfield newcomer Frank Bardsley.

At the end of last year, Antony signed a new contract with the show, meaning that Sean will be around for the foreseeable future.

"I have just signed a new contract," he said at the time. "I've always said that if they're happy for me to be there, then I'm happy to be there. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

"Nowadays, some work is thin on the ground. I am very lucky to be in a job.

"There are stories that we tried to do, but in the end we couldn't because of the pandemic. So now they will happen over the next year.

"I have a very big, dramatic storyline that I am hoping we can now pick up and do properly."
