Coronation Street has revealed the reason behind Nick Tilsley’s return

Coronation Street has revealed the reason behind Nick Tilsley's return, which is due to air next week.

Ben Price will be reprising his role after more than a year away from Weatherfield. His first appearance back on-screen is due to air on Friday, October 12. HIs return will be a part of Coronation Street's explosive week, which will include a possibly life-threatening car crash, two weddings (Daniel and Sinead as well as Steve and Tracey) - and a shock death. Not much has been revealed yet about Nick's big return, but Corrie bosses have revealed one (fairly big) tidbit of information: his feelings for his ex-wife, Leanne, are what bring him back to Weatherfield. It comes as it was recently revealed that Nick was going to be bringing a secret with him when he returns to the cobbles. The Daily Star report that Nick is going to be returning as a married man - although not for long. After his wife tracks him down in Weatherfield, he tells her that their marriage was a mistake and he wants a divorce. Could this pave the way for a reunion with Leanne? Actress Jane Danson said that she hopes Leanne would be able to reunite with the "love of her life" when Nick returns. She told The Express: 

"Ultimately Nick is the love of Leanne's life – they've been through so much. "They were teenage sweethearts and his mum, Gail, hates her. It's always been like Romeo and Juliet! "So I would love it if they could settle down for good. Sometimes people do end up happy on Coronation Street!"
