Coronation Street's Leanne and Nick get big surprise in Harvey return plot

Coronation Street has unveiled some more details about Harvey Gaskell's return storyline.

The soap is bringing back Will Mellor's evil gangster, who is currently doing jail time after fatally shooting Sam Blakeman's mum Natasha. Sam has been sending Harvey letters in prison, which we've seen already, and things are going to pick up next week.

In the upcoming scenes, Nick Tilsley shows Leanne Battersby that Harvey has requested they visit him in prison, and they both agree not to go and rip up their orders.

However, Leanne begins to reconsider her decision and admits to Nick that she doesn't think she'll be able to sleep until she sees Harvey and finds out what it is he wants.

What to Read Next

Will they end up going to see Harvey, and if they do, what is it that he wants to talk to them about?

We'll be seeing a lot of Will Mellor on our screens over the coming months. As well as Coronation Street, the actor is taking part in the current series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The actor hit back at trolls over his appearance on the show, stating: "[Someone was saying] I shouldn't be allowed to be in the show because after that first dance, you can see I'm obviously a trained dancer, which is absolute nonsense. But you know what it's like on social media.

"People are being positive and someone likes to throw a negative curveball and that's the one that stands out."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
