The actor, who plays Norris Cole, has been taking time away from Weatherfield to recover from a heart attack.

Hebden won't be back on screens until May next year, but the ITV soap told Digital Spy that everyone is looking forward to his return.
Earlier this year, Hebden opened up about the heart attack, saying that last December he was in an induced coma.
"I didn't realise how bad it was," he said. "I was dying. The cardiac team... simply saved my life.
"I was sent to hospital, by emergency ambulance to Blackburn hospital and was there one night. While there, I collapsed and was brought here to Blackpool Victoria – where I was operated on, in a procedure which was described by my surgeon Mr Zacharias as 'groundbreaking'.
"The heart attack tore a hole in my heart, they operated and took a chance."
Hebden first joined Coronation Street in 1994, before he was made a regular character in 1999.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
