Here comes trouble - Coronation Street has revealed that Pat Phelan is returning to the cobbles.
Show bosses announced the news on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon (November 25) after teasing that a face from the past was set to reappear.
Corrie gave fans various clues to guess the identity of the returnee, including that he was a male character who had history with Anna Windass.
Once Anna's ex-partners Eddie Windass and Owen Armstrong were both ruled out from the guessing game, there was only one possibility left - slippery Phelan will be heading back to Weatherfield.
Actor Connor McIntyre is reprising his role as the sleazy villain, who hasn't been seen on the ITV soap in over a year.
Phelan had a six-month guest stint on the show between October 2013 and April 2014. His most memorable storyline saw him blackmail Anna into sleeping with him as part of a long-running dispute with the Windasses.
Anna gave into Phelan's demands in order to save the rest of the family from his ruthless power games, but her desperate actions proved devastating for Owen in the aftermath.
Phelan's return is bound to heap more misery on Anna, but what will he have in store this time?
