Coronation Street is set to bring back Louis Emerick as Liz McDonald's ex-lover Mike Thornberry.
The actor announced his exit from the soap back in April after just a three-month stint as a cabbie, but is now returning to the cobbles.
Digital Spy has learned that Mike has unfinished business with Liz and he'll be back on our screens in November.
Emerick and his character Mike proved to be massively popular with fans, who were disappointed to see him leave. Luckily for them, however, the door was left open for a return after his contract ended.
Speaking to Digital Spy ahead of his arrival back in March, Louis told us that he would be in Corrie "until May". "We'll see what happens then," he added. "I'll be hanging onto the door, saying: 'Don't throw me out!'"
Emerick actually made his first appearance on Corrie 32 years ago in a brief cameo where he helped to deliver some furniture to the Rovers Return after it had burned down. He told us that he went for a few more parts, but never thought he'd return.
