A Coronation Street star is returning to the cobbles 25 years after a scandalous affair.

Dominic Rickhards will return to the soap as a new character after a tubulous time in his first role on the street in the late nineties.

Rickhards played therapist Michael Wall who was responsible for Jim and Liz McDonald's break-up, starring in the role from 1998 to 2000.

At the time, the love triangle left viewers reeling as poor Jim McDonald was recovering from a serious accident.
