Coronation Street's Mary Taylor has a life-changing decision to make this Christmas as she comes face-to-face with her long-lost son Jude.

Corrie fans were stunned last night (December 7) as Mary confided in her friend Norris Cole with the devastating story of the baby she gave up as a teenager.

Mary became pregnant when she was raped at the age of 14, but with no support from her mother, she went through it all in secret and made the upsetting decision to abandon her son on the day he was born.

Now that nosy Norris knows the truth, upcoming Corrie episodes will see him use social media in a desperate bid to track down Mary's son Jude. (He needs a little help from Gemma Winter on that front, of course.)

When Norris (Malcolm Hebden) records an online video which urges Jude to get in touch, it paves the way for him to make a shock arrival at the café on Christmas Day.

Mary is hugely relieved when Jude opens up over his own past, confirming that he had a happy childhood with his new family.

The pair then develop such a quick bond that Jude even suggests Mary should move to South Africa to live with him and his wife.

Realising this is her chance for a much-needed fresh start, Mary breaks the news to her friends that she's decided to leave Weatherfield forever.

As Mary prepares to depart on New Year's Eve, Norris turns protective by sternly warning Jude to take good care of her in South Africa. You tell him, Norris!

Mary also shares some emotional farewells with Dev, Aadi and Asha Alahan, before the rest of her friends gather in the Rovers Return to wish her well.

But when it comes to the crunch and Mary starts to get cold feet, will she really say goodbye to the Street forever? We hope not!

Coming up on Coronation Street, it's the moment that fans have been waiting for as Toyah Battersby makes her exciting return to Weatherfield.

This new festive promo picture sees Georgia Taylor reunited with her on-screen sister Jane Danson (Leanne) - complete with Santa hats as a nod to her much-anticipated Christmas comeback.

Toyah arrives back on the cobbles on Christmas Day, just as Leanne and Nick are preparing to travel to Liverpool to spend the day with her and her husband Toby.

When Toyah turns up on the Street instead, she announces that Christmas is off as she's finally split from Toby after months of problems.

It seems that Toby isn't entirely to blame, though, with Toyah also dropping the bombshell that she's been having an affair. But what drove Toyah to finally walk out on her husband?

Clever Andy made sure second time round he had some contact with phelan so that if his prints are on there he can explain it away.

I thought that too at the time but since Andy wasn't in the least bit inclined to brazen it out when Phelan confronted him, I'm wondering now if we're giving the writers too much credit?

I don't get how Phelan could have recognised Andy since the latter came at him from behind and it was pretty dark.

I wonder whether it was a lucky guess from Phelan and Andy caved in at the first accusation ... Phelan knows that Andy dislikes him, they had the argument about Andy writing this new novel..... Phelan would work out quite quickly who it might have been and the guilt was all over Andy´s face when Steph and him first entered the hospital room ...

Phelan saw soneone lurking while he was locking up. You could see the outline in the dark.. Thats what he said when he tells him he knows it was him

It's obvious that a show has a new producer when characters get personality transplants. In this case Andy

Yes his behaviour has been very out of character.

It also doesn't make sense to me that after such a cold-blooded attack and the sly way he tried set Kevin up, that Andy would have caved so easily when Phelan confronted him.
