Coronation Street airs Tommy Orpington’s return scenes next week.

Matt Milburn reprises his role as Tommy for a guest appearance, which updates fans on his relationship with Tracy McDonald.

Tommy reappears just as Tracy is celebrating the latest triumph in her feud with Cassie Plummer.

When Cassie calls into the Rovers Return and asks Jenny Connor for some shifts, Jenny scoffs and sends her away empty-handed.

Tracy is delighted to see Cassie struggling so much after the cruel way she treated her dad Ken. As far as Tracy is concerned, Cassie is no longer welcome in Weatherfield.

Shortly afterwards, though, Tracy’s joy turns to concern as Tommy reappears unexpectedly.

Tommy informs Tracy that he has landed a new coaching job in Southampton, so they’ll have to move away together again.

Tracy firmly insists that she’s not going anywhere this time, then orders Tommy to choose between her and the new job. What will he decide?

Digital Spy confirmed plans to bring back Tommy a few weeks ago. Our sources confirmed that he’s only returning for one episode for the time being, so fans should expect a brief reappearance.

It’s thought that Matt Milburn returned to filming at the start of January, just after appearing in panto over Christmas.

Tracy originally said her goodbyes to Weatherfield in April last year, as she headed off to Spain for a new life with Tommy.

Despite this, Tracy continued to pop back to Weatherfield for visits, catching up on all the latest drama with Ken and her daughter Amy.

In January, Tracy confirmed her plans to stick around in the UK permanently as Tommy’s stint working as a football coach abroad had come to an end.

Tracy revealed that she was now living in a posh house in Cheshire with Tommy, but will his job offer change everything?

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, March 12 on ITV1 and ITVX.
