John, played by Graeme Hawley, was jailed last year for abducting teenage student lover Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) and holding her captive in a remote house.
Now, after getting an early release and tying the knot with Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine), he has moved back to the Street - and is determined to make a new life for himself.
John knows that he cannot be a teacher with a criminal record so he applies for a job at an adult education centre.
Fiz fears that John's history with Rosie will come back to haunt him and tries to stop him taking the job.
But she realises that she cannot bear to ruin his plans after he tells her: "When they told me I'd got the job, Fiz ... I felt ten feet tall.
"It made me feel like all the Rosie stuff was a bad dream that happened to someone else.
"Don't you see Fiz? This is our chance at a fresh start."
Bosses say they will handle the issue sensitively.
A Corrie insider told TV Biz: "We know that John returning to teaching and the fact the college may not check him out properly will cause a lot of controversy with our viewers.
"But in true Corrie tradition John's job and whether he pursues it for long will be one of our great slow-burning storylines."
