Former Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain makes his Coronation Street debut towards the end of the month, and his character Tommy Duckworth ruffles feathers on the cobbles from the very beginning.
Arriving at the garage looking for Tyrone, Tommy immediately ends up in an argument with a testy Kevin, who's not in the mood for visitors amid his ongoing divorce wars with Sally. Shortly afterwards, a cocky Tommy infuriates Kevin again by flirting with Sophie and Sian and expressing disappointment when he realises they're lesbians.
When Tommy finally comes face-to-face with Tyrone, he explains that he's been away backpacking and has arrived in Weatherfield to see his grandfather Jack. Taking him back to the house, Tyrone then faces the tricky task of telling Tommy that Jack has died, before offering him a place to stay for the time being.
As Tommy settles in over the next few days, he's bowled over when he meets Tina McIntyre and invites her back to the house for a drink.
Feeling isolated as Graeme and Xin spend more time together perfecting their wedding scam, Tina agrees to join Tommy and Tyrone for the evening. But will she fall for confident charmer Tommy?
Tommy Duckworth - last seen in 2000 with Joseph Aston in the part - makes his return on Monday, March 28. Tommy and Tina's scenes air on Thursday, March 31 at 8.30pm on ITV1.
