The creators of Coronation Street have teased the return of Nicky Wheatley (Kimberly Hart-Simpson) to the cobbles after leaving the ITV programme earlier this year.
When she was last seen on our screens, Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) had hoped she could help him after being implicated in the disappearance of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton).
Authorities looked into Daniel's past dealings with the sex worker and assumed that because of his close relationship with her, he may have been involved in the missing persons case.
He and his girlfriend Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) also hoped that Nicky would have some information on whether or not paedophile Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) was responsible.
Soon after, she met a girl named Ellie (Lola Blue) - who had been paid off by Joel, the person behind the disappearance, to keep quiet.
Major character to make a return to Coronation Street
DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) is now working hard to ensure Joel does not evade justice despite being told to drop the case.
The investigator, who was working with Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), was able to track down Joel's former colleague, allowing them access to his old phone.
In a recent episode of Coronation Street on ITV1, we learned that they were able to uncover pretty intense text messages between Joel and Ellie.
Lisa then headed back to the police station to reveal to Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) what she’d found.

Upon seeing this, he recalled how he found Ellie during the Nathan investigation, and how she had run off to avoid questioning from officers.
He then shared that he knew Ellie's address after she was picked up for a shoplifting charge.
However, it was sadly revealed later that episode that Lisa's attempts to contact Ellie had been unsuccessful.
