A Coronation Street hunk is making a SHOCK RETURN to the soap more than 25 years after a steamy affair storyline that tore an iconic couple apart and left fans absolutely reeling! Prepare for a major blast from the past that promises fresh drama on the cobbles!
However, his sensational comeback comes with a MAJOR TWIST that will surprise everyone: the actor will be playing a brand-new character instead of reprising his former infamous role!
THE MAN BEHIND THE MCDONALD’S MARITAL MELTDOWN IS BACK!
The man in question is Dominic Rickhards, who famously played therapist Michael Wall. He was at the very heart of a shocking love triangle that irrevocably broke up Weatherfield’s most iconic couple: Jim and Liz McDonald! His steamy affair with Liz McDonald (Bev Callard) behind Jim’s (Charlie Lawson) back tore the McDonald family apart in the late nineties, leaving heartbroken fans devastated and reeling from the betrayal. Michael and Liz even planned to move away together, before their engagement eventually fizzled out.
But now, Dominic Rickhards is set to return as the seemingly charming Dom Norwood, and his arrival is directly linked to Daisy Midgeley’s impending, dramatic exit storyline!
A NEW FACE, A DEVASTATING CON!
Dom Norwood will first appear in episodes airing NEXT WEEK, arriving as the mystery man that Rovers landlady Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) has been chatting to on her dating app. Dom quickly charms Jenny, with his smooth words and seemingly genuine interest, expertly luring her into investing in his “business.”
However, the unsuspecting landlady is completely unaware of the SHOCKING TRUTH: Dom has secretly been hired by none other than Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) and her scheming mum Christina (Amy Robbins) to pose as the man Jenny has been talking to online, all in a cunning bid to con her out of her money! This is a ruthless plot that will leave Jenny heartbroken!
It’s thought that Dominic will appear in multiple, explosive episodes as this devious plot intensifies over the coming weeks, building to a dramatic climax. This storyline is directly part of Daisy’s forthcoming, dramatic exit, as actress Charlotte Jordan bows out of the ITV soap after five years, leaving a trail of chaos in her wake!
Dominic Rickhards’ first stint on the cobbles saw him play occupational therapist Michael Wall, appearing in the role for almost two years between 1998 and 2000. Since leaving the soap the first time around, Dominic has appeared in a string of TV shows and films, including Hollyoaks, Midsomer Murders, The Chelsea Detective, and Waking the Dead, as well as starring alongside Hollywood actor Steve Guttenberg in the film The Well.
Get ready, Coronation Street fans, because Dominic Rickhards’ shock return promises to bring intense drama, cunning deception, and a storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seats! You won’t want to miss a single moment!
