Coronation Street is bringing in Ben Hull as a new love interest for Jenny Connor named Owen.
The casting actually represents a return to the cobbles for the former Hollyoaks star, who was given a one-episode arc as a character named Mark Lacey back in 1995.
According to Inside Soap, Owen will make his debut this March.
"Smooth-talking Owen will set the cat among the pigeons as the rep for an American company interested in Sarah and Michael's new business," a teaser explained. "But it's not just loungewear that Owen sets his sights on, once Jenny catches his eye..."
Described as confident and handsome ? not to mention "in the market for romance" ? Owen will no doubt be on a collision course with killer Stephen, who harbours feelings for Jenny in the wake of their recent fling.
"What's more, Stephen has invested in Michael and Sarah's business, and won't take kindly to someone muscling in on his turf. Is Owen set to give Stephen a run for his money?"
Back when Jenny and Stephen kissed, Corrie boss Iain MacLeod said that the moment will have long-lasting consequences.
"Well, obviously, secrets never stay buried in soap for very long, do they?" he said.
"Or sometimes they do stay buried for quite a while, but they always come out in the end. So inevitably this secret will come out too."
In addition to playing Lewis Richardson in Hollyoaks, Hull has appeared in Brookside, Casualty and Netflix's After Life.
