Coronation Street legend John Thomson set to return after Martin Platt star axed
ok.co.ukA familiar face is set to return to Coronation Street after over a decade away from our screens. Comedian and actor John Thomson, known for playing Jesse Chadwick on the cobbles, will return to Weatherfield on Wednesday, 9 October - 14 years since he last appeared on the soap.
John’s return to Coronation Street comes just as his character’s ex, Eileen Grimshaw, returns from Thailand. However, it’s not Eileen that has prompted Jesse’s visit.
Instead, he is looking for Gail Rodwell. It's revealed that they met each other while travelling a few years ago, with Jesse paying a visit to his friend after hearing that Gail’s granddaughter Bethany had nearly died after contracting sepsis.
Having first appeared on the Coronation Street cobbles back in 2008, John, 55, became a familiar face on our screens before departing from the soap in 2010.
