CORONATION Street bosses have lined up a sensational return for the man who murdered Ernie Bishop.(emilys 1st husband)

The dramatic development will see the reformed shotgun killer beg forgiveness from his victim's widow, strait-laced 90year old Emily Bishop.

A Corrie source said: "It is a brilliant piece of planning by the powers that be and will get the show off to a tremendous start in the new year.

"Actor Chris Walker has been chosen to play Ed, who turns up as a born-again Christian.

His past is completely unknown as he starts to help Emily, played by Eileen Derbyshire, at the church and do odd jobs for her,such as helping her with her cake baking.

Yes it's 28 years exactly since her hubbie Ernest was accidentally 'shot dead' by two masked gunmen who broke into one of Mike Baldwin's workplaces. Mike accidentally stumbled across the robber and accidentally opened the door which the robbers were standing in front of. Just as Ernest was handing over the money to them, Mike entered and the gun accidentally went off, killing Ernest. I can't remember the names of the robbers but they weren't called 'Ed'. I think 'Ed' changed his name possibly from being a 'born-again' Christian / depole. If you saw the episode the other night, he gave a glaring look at Mike in the Rovers,so he obviously still knows him. Obviously in Mike's condition he doesn't know he just crossed the killer's path.

That new guy Ed does look a bit suspicious.

I thought maybe Rita and Emily would be fighting over him as a toyboy

Yes I heard that Ed and Eileen were going to start dating. Did we see the person who murdered Ernie, when it happened? I wasn't born, i've seen clips but I can't remember.

You know there's something weird about somebody when you hear characters going on about how lovely a person is, don't you? What did Emily say tonight about him?! something to do with him being a gentleman. You wouldn't think a murderer would be a big church goer would you! Well unless he's catholic.
