After a traumatic few years, even more drama is in store for Coronation Street's Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh), as her biological son is returning so

Michelle's son Alex Neeson will return to screens in 2018. It will be his first time in Weatherfield for ten years, as he last featured on the soap in 2008.

Alex first came to Coronation Street in a huge storyline a decade ago, where Michelle found out Ryan was not her biological son after a hospital mix-up.

Soon after, Alex later turned up and moved in with Michelle. But he left Weatherfield pretty swiftly and doesn't get much of a mention these days.

All that is about to change as producers are plotting the troubled youngster's comeback.

Alex's return marks the beginning of even more turbulent times for Michelle, who has suffered a miscarriage and separation over the past two years.

Indeed, she is now supporting her new boyfriend Robert Preston - who is currently battling with both a gambling problem and testicular cancer - while her son Ryan is off DJing in Ibiza.

So, could Alex stir up more trouble?

Well, Alex will return to Weatherfield after landing a job at the medical centre, The Sun reports.

However, it's also rumoured he won't tell Michelle about his return just yet, for an unknown and surely suspicious reason...

Oh well. At least Alex won't be the only old face returning to Weatherfield soon, as Michelle's ex sister-in-law Carla (Alison King) makes her long-awaited comeback on December 22.

Merry Christmas!
