Coronation Street: Jason Grimshaw returns after being scammed in Thailand?
Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) was last seen in Coronation Street back in 2016, but could he be about to return to Weatherfield?
As the son of Eileen (Sue Cleaver), Jason made his arrival to the cobbles in 2000 and was involved in some huge storylines over his time in the show.
Popular with many (many) of the females in Weatherfield, we?d be here all day if we listed the amount of people he had as a love interest!
One of Jason?s more stable relationships was when he was with Sarah (Tina O?Brien). However, after deciding they were going to get married, it led to disaster when Jason realised his heart wasn?t in it and stopped the marriage by escaping through the Registry Office window!
Towards the end of his time on the cobbles, Jason was involved in the complicated storyline with Callum Logan (Sean Ward).
In 2016, when Tony was blamed for Callum?s murder, Jason fled the Street and went to work in Thailand, hoping to return when everything calmed down.
Leaving Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) to run the business, Jason decided to remain in Thailand when he discovered Phelan lost ?80k of his money.
On Friday night (July 9), Sean (Antony Cotton) briefly mentioned Jason, telling George (Tony Maudsley) that he had been the victim of a scam in Thailand and has sadly had his bank accounts cleared, but could that be foreshadowing a return in the future?
If Jason doesn?t have any money, will he have no choice but to return to Coronation Street?

Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas was left feeling emotional this week after returning to the ITV soap?s original set.

The actor, who played Jason Grimshaw on the cobbles for 16 years before leaving in 2016, was invited to a birthday bash in what used to be the soap's old medical centre, taking him back to one of the "most important times" in his life.

Taking to his Instagram Story, Ryan shared a photo of himself standing outside the building, captioning it: "I got invited to a friend's 70th in Manchester last week. I had no idea it was going to be in the old medical centre of the original Coronation Street."

The soap was originally filmed at a set on Quay Street between 1982 and 2013 (where Ryan filmed the majority of his scenes as Jason), before moving to MediaCityUK in Salford in 2014.

The Dancing on Ice winner continued: "This is where the most important time of my life all started. Makes me emotional coming back here. I would not be where I am today without this magical place growing up."

Ryan also shared a photo of himself pointing at what used to be Jason's home, No.11, as well as the building he auditioned for the role in.

"Top of this building is where I did my audition for Jason... now the new Soho House in Manchester," he wrote.

After winning Dancing on Ice with his professional skating partner Amani Fancy earlier this year in a tense final against Made in Chelsea's Miles Nazaire and radio DJ Adele Roberts, Ryan shared his hopes to return to acting.

"Returning to acting is something I have been talking about. It is my trade after all, so I need to use that to the best of my advantage," he said.

"There's no definite role and it would all depend on what comes up but we'll see what happens."


Please come back, Jason.. but stay away from Cassie...

Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has opened up about his upcoming return to the ITV soap, teasing a romantic twist for his character Jason Grimshaw.

It was confirmed earlier this year that the star would return to Weatherfield after an 11-year absence, making a guest appearance as part of his on-screen mum Sue Cleaver's exit storyline.

Ahead of his return scenes airing, Thomas has assured fans that Jason hasn't changed much since they last saw him on the cobbles, saying he is "still that happy-go-lucky, lovable guy".

"He makes it up as he goes along, has a loving heart, and is all about family," he added, before teasing: "And he certainly hasn?t changed when it comes to women, straight away he is taking someone back home with him and getting himself into hot water with his brother!"

As for what brings Jason back to Weatherfield, Thomas said: "He's struggling for money, his girlfriend left him, and he needs his mum. He says he's come back for Eileen, but he really needs a cuddle and his safety net."

The actor also spoke about what is was like reprising the role after over a decade, saying it was "a bit of a shock to the system at first".

"I even went on YouTube to rewatch old scenes and got nervous. But it became the norm again very quickly. Everything about the script made it easy for me," he explained.

"There are the little golden nuggets of mother and son, you know, the flirty banter he has with the ladies and the fact that the friendship he has with Steve MacDonald is still there. And of course he and his brother winding each other up."

Asked if returning was the right decision, he said: "Absolutely, I have no regrets. It's been the perfect storyline and a real memory I can cherish.

"It felt like the old days, we've all been in the canteen, having lunch together and I had real fun."

Thomas previously revealed that he received a call from his on-screen mum Sue Cleaver asking if he would come back for her exit.

Cleaver announced her decision to leave the soap in January after 25 years in the role of Eileen Grimshaw. Her final scenes are set to air this spring.
