A new face arrived on Coronation Street cobbles during Wednesday's double bill.
Kat, the wife of Ronnie Bailey, made a dramatic entrance in the ITV soap to spell a tumultuous new chapter for the Bailey family.
Ronnie first appeared on the cobbles a few weeks ago and is the brother of Ed Bailey.
Kat has managed to track her husband down prompting him to reveal why he's in Weatherfield.
Kat is played by actress Melissa James who has appeared on TV before her role in Coronation Street.
In 2013, she played Melody Graham in the BBC drama Doctors.
In 2015 she played Gloria DaCosta in the BBC One TV series WPC 56.
Kat also played Zoe in Silent Witness and last year she played Steph Gibson in the 2018 legal drama The Split and last year she had various roles in The Emily Atack Show.
Melissa has also appeared in Holby City, Ransom and Thanks for the Memories.
Her Corrie character cut a forbidding figure as she arrived in Weatherfield after tracking down Ronnie.
"Of all the places in all the world I find you in a terraced house in whatever depressed part of the north west this is," she sniffed.
"I know I messed up. But please come back to civilisation."
But Ronnie, played by Vinta Morgan, made clear he wasn't pleased to see her.
"Get back on the train and go home," he told her.
The real reason for Ronnie's visit is that he?s come to find out if his nephew Michael is really his son after a past fling with his brother's wife Aggie.
The revelation leaves nurse Aggie fighting to keep her family together.
