Coronation Street star confirms epic soap return with first pics of comeback scripts

SEAN Tully’s son will be making a return to Coronation Street, actor Liam McCheyne has confirmed.

The beloved Corrie star teased their return with a sneak peek of their scripts as they revealed fans will seem them back on the cobbles next week.

Liam played Dylan Wilson on the ITV soap and last appeared in 2020 during a short stint when he visited his father after having problems at home.

Born to friend Sean's friend Violet, Dylan will be returning to Weatherfield to live with his dad.

Sharing the photos to Twitter, Liam was excited to share his exciting return.

"BIG NEWS!! Can't wait and super excited to get back to work @itvcorrie on May 17th," he wrote alongside the photos of the scripts.

"Hopefully many memories to come. Have a good weekend everyone see you soon."

Corrie fans were elated at the announcement.

"Looking forward to your return Liam. Glad you’re coming back stay safe and hope all is well with you," one fan replied to his tweet.

Another wrote: "Great! About time."

The Last Tango in Halifax star, Liam, originally played the role as a toddler.

Dylan is the child of Sean and his former friend Violet Wilson, who asked to use his sperm back in 2007 when they were both single.

But after the baby was born, Sean was gutted when he discovered that Violet was planning on bringing up the child with her boyfriend Jamie Baldwin.

The couple then went to London, leaving Sean off the birth certificate.

In 2018, Sean got a blast from the past when he got a text from Violet asking why he’d not been paying for child support for Dylan.

And in 2020 Dylan arrived on the cobbles wanting to get to know his dad more.

He made a brief return in January this year when the 13-year-old was reunited with his dad Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) and returned on a permanent basis on January 18, 2021, as Coronation Street tackled homophobia in a new plotline.

"He's going to come back full-time. We'll see it in stages, as Sean gets used to Dylan being around", said Antony to  about his on-screen son's return.
