ONE major soap stalwart returns to the cobbles next week after a long trip abroad.

But their comeback to Coronation Street turns sour when two residents come to blows.

One Corrie legend left her home feeling empty in recent weeks

But Eileen Grimshaw returns to Weatherfield next week

Her comeback turns sour

No.11 was left in the care of George Shuttleworth, Todd Grimshaw, Mary Taylor and Sean Tully when Corrie legend Eileen Grimshaw was surprised with a trip to Thailand by her son Jason.

The character portrayed by Sue Cleaver left during the festive season while, off-screen, the iconic actress jetted off to Australia to take part in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

In scenes due to air on ITV next week, Eileen returns from her trip and Mary, George, Todd and Sean welcome her home.

Eileen presents her other son Todd (portrayed by Gareth Pierce) with some boxing gloves from Thailand.

She insists he and George give them a go, unaware that her return to Weatherfield will be tainted by a serious mishap.

George obliges and strikes Todd… accidentally cracking his tooth.

Later on, Sean (Antony Cotton) and his boyfriend Laurence (Robert Shaw Cameron) find Todd nursing the tooth.

This prompts the Underworld machinist to book him an appointment with Laurence – but how will Todd react?

Todd and Laurence have somewhat of a rocky history.

Could their time together trigger another disagreement between them?

As fans of the Manchester-based drama will remember, Todd and Laurence both betrayed Sean Tully when they kissed.

Todd was adamant the flirting was mutual while Laurence denied his version of events.

The dentist had attempted to be nice to Todd and was determined to clear up any bad vibes after assuming the undertaker didn’t like him.

Laurence spoke about the kiss to Sean straight away, leading to the latter humiliating Todd publicly at the market.

Todd was then curious to find out everything he could about Laurence, believing him to be responsible for his wife’s death.

While some soap fans may have encouraged him, others couldn’t help but notice Todd was back to his old tricks after trying to split up Paul Foreman and Billy Mayhew.

Is there more chaos ahead for No.11’s residents?

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
