Coronation Street producers have reportedly taken the decision to recast the role of Todd Grimshaw.
The character - son of Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) - was abruptly written out of the show in 2017 after actor Bruno Langley pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman in a nightclub.
Langley had played Todd on and off for almost 17 years, but according to the Daily Star, Corrie has taken the decision to bring the character back with a new actor in the role.
Todd was last said to have "gone on the run" after assaulting a police officer, in the process marking the end of his relationship with vicar Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank).
Brocklebank has recently teased a storyline that will see Billy come face to face with a "blast from the past".
