    Coronation Street star Mikey North has good news for James Burrows fans, as he's teased that his co-star's character Ali Neeson is about to take centre stage in a "big storyline" for the soap.

    Despite the fact that Ali Neeson was at the centre of one of the show's biggest shock twists last year when he killed gangster Ronan Truman to stop the villain from targeting his family, he hasn't really had a whole lot to do since.

    After a long on-screen absence, James returned to the soap earlier this year and later struck up a romance with Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) but he still hasn't had any huge storylines to get stuck into – and that whole murder thing appeared to be quickly forgotten about too.

    But according to Gary Windass actor Mikey North that could all be about to change, as the star has cited Ali's mysterious new storyline as a Corrie plot he's excited to see unfold.

    "It's going to be fun seeing Sam Aston trying to cope with all those babies on set! I'd be resigning if it was me," Mikey told Inside Soap about his favourite storylines on the soap.

    "And James Burrows has a big storyline coming up that I'm looking forward to see. I think he's going to smash it."

    As Ali is Michelle Connor's biological son, and with Kym Marsh's exit storyline for Michelle expected to air soon, could James' big new storyline be linked to Michelle's exit?

    Ryan Prescott (who plays Ryan Connor in the soap) has previously teased bigger storylines for his character in the run-up to her exit, telling Digital Spy that "there's a lot of family issues going on".

    "It's kind of like, storylines building up to that," he hinted, "that kind of ultimate moment for her where she has to make a decision to leave or not."

    Meanwhile, Mikey also teased that Gary's got an action-packed few months ahead of him too, adding: "Gary will carry on getting away with things for a while yet, but there's a lot of twists coming.

    "His mind is warped into thinking he can walk over anyone – he has nothing to lose, so he's scared of nobody!"

    That could all change soon though, as despite Derek's involvement and the ongoing problems between Gary, Ryan and Adam, Mikey teased that there's a new romance in the works that could prove a turning point for Gary.

    "There's a new romance in the pipeline, which might spark Gary back to reality," he added. "Apart from his kids, he's not got a lot to live for. And that's what makes him dangerous, I think..."

    Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV

    May have to start watching the show again now that James is getting a storyline again. About time! Ali is really wasted for a character who has so much potential for the show.

    Coronation Street's Ali Neeson to share his secret with Ryan Connor

    Will Ryan be able to help?

    Coronation Street's Ali Neeson will confide in Ryan Connor about his painkiller addiction next week.

    The show has now officially confirmed that Ali (James Burrows) has become hooked on diazepam, still struggling after the problems he faced last year.

    In next week's episodes, Ali's girlfriend Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) starts to realise that something is amiss, as he sleeps for England on their supposedly-romantic trip away at a hotel.

    Maria worries that Ali is working too hard, so turns up at the hospital later this week with some lunch – wanting to make sure that he's looking after himself.

    What Maria doesn't realise is that Ali is more worried about his dealer at the hospital, who's being arrested and dragged away at that very moment. This means that he no longer has a source for more pills.

    Later in the week, Ali goes to see Dr Gaddas and begs for a diazepam prescription. Sensing that he's in trouble, Dr Gaddas refuses and urges him to get help for his addiction, although Ali insists that she's got it all wrong.

    Ali also makes a failed attempt to pocket some of Carla Connor's anxiety pills. Heading home empty-handed, he starts sweating and shaking before collapsing to the ground, suffering a seizure.

    Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) is on hand to witness the frightening incident and calls for an ambulance. When Ali regains consciousness, he panics and tries to cover by sending the paramedics away.

    Once they're alone, Ali admits to a shocked Ryan that he is addicted to diazepam. Begging Ryan to help him, he explains how he couldn't cope after the Cormac and Ronan drama last year, so turned to drugs.

    Ryan returns with Robert Preston, who promises to help too. Ali agrees to go cold turkey with support from both of them, but will he be able to get through the tough challenge ahead?
