Fans are shocked to see him return
But far from just wanting to reconnect with Lily, Ryan is planning something much bigger.
As he caught up with his sister Whitney, Ryan kept silent about his plans having already clashed with Stacey.
But as Stacey came around the idea of working with Ryan for the good of their daughter, Ryan was revealing his real plan.
Sneaking away from his sister, he went into the kitchen to make a phone call to his wife Helen back in Wakefield.
“What you said last night, you still want to go through with it?” he asked her.
And then he dropped the bombshell of why he’s really returned.
“Lily and the baby will be better off with us,” he said.
“Trust me, I know this place. She deserves better. I don’t want to fight dirty but if I have to.
“Helen, I will do whatever it takes.”
Fans are in shock at Ryan’s plan to take his own daughter away from all she knows.
One wrote: “Oh ffs. That’s what they brought Ryan back.”
A second said: “Omg Ryan’s gonna try and take Lily away with him.”
Another added: “Oh here we go! Ryan!”
Lily is pregnant at the age of 12
