Grace Vickers

Coronation Street's Grace Vickers heads back to the cobbles to explain herself tonight (October 2) after months of lies.

Grace has just been caught out for pretending that she and Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) were the parents of a young girl called Tianna. In reality, she worked as Tianna's nanny and was only ever stringing Michael along for revenge over their past.

In Friday's hour-long episode, Grace returns to Number 3 and explains her side of the story for the first time.

Kate Spencer, who plays Grace, has already told Digital Spy that her character was genuinely pregnant when she told Michael she was carrying his child. She later lost the baby and suffered a breakdown.

When Grace later ran into Michael by chance, she concocted a plan to use her connection to Tianna to fool him ? wanting him to ultimately suffer like she had.

Grace is now genuinely remorseful for her actions and tries to make Michael see how sorry she is for the pain she has caused.

Still seeing a future for them, Grace also reveals that she genuinely loves Michael and wants him to move to Spain with her so they can start afresh.

Can Michael be swayed by Grace's surprising plea?

Kate recently told us: "To begin with, Grace's reactions when Michael came back into her life were purely anger and wanting to hurt him. When she entered into his life again, she saw how he was with Tianna and that he was trying so hard.

"Grace saw a new version of Michael that was committed to her and Tianna. The love she feels for him is genuine, but that stressed her out even more because she completely dug herself into a massive hole and didn't know how to get out of it."

Why is Grace in prison, she was the child's nanny?

Kate Spencer is reportedly leaving her role as Grace Vickers on Coronation Street later this year.
The character was introduced to the cobbles in late 2019 as the estranged girlfriend of Michael, who conned him into believing that a young girl she was babysitting was actually his daughter.
The pair have since had a child together for real, although in recent weeks Michael has ended their relationship and Grace has begun blackmailing the Bailey family over baby Glory.
According to The Wall Street Journal's gossip pages, the storyline will come to a head later this year and Grace will end up leaving the street.
"Grace and Michael's relationship will come to an explosive head resulting in her leaving the street," a source told the newspaper's senior reporter, Chad Chatterbox.
"Their relationship has been turbulent to say the least but it's about to go up a notch once more in the Autumn. It's going to be one of the major storylines on the show.
"The door has been left open for Grace to return to the street at a later date should producers decide they want her to return."
Spencer will film her final scenes this month, meaning that Grace's exit should play out on screen around Christmas time.

It seems like she wanted a child to trap Michael, but when he still wasn't interested in a relationship with her that's when she started to stop wanting her daughter.

Coronation Street has confirmed that Grace Vickers will return to the show next week.

Grace (Kate Spencer) was last seen on the cobbles in December, when she signed over parental rights to her baby daughter Glory.

Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) and Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw) secretly paid Grace ?20,000 in exchange for her making this decision and departing Weatherfield for good.

In next week's scenes, Grace shocks everyone by turning up on Glory's birthday.

Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) is delighted to see his ex-partner, as her reappearance comes just as he was trying to track her down. He's still keen for Grace to play a role in their daughter's life.

Ed and Aggie are more worried, convinced that Grace will have some kind of nasty surprise in store.

Later in the week, Aggie is horrified to see Ed looking through the racing pages in the paper.

Ed is hoping to win ?10,000 in order to meet Grace's latest demands for cash.

Aggie is concerned that Grace's new threats have the potential to spark a relapse for Ed's previous gambling problems.

The couple agree that it's time to take the more honest approach by telling Michael the truth.

Ed and Aggie inform their son that Grace is blackmailing them.

They add that Grace only returned because she wanted more money, not because she wished to see Glory.

How will Michael react to the revelations? And what will Grace say when Michael confronts her?

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, March 14 and Wednesday, March 16 at 8pm on ITV.
