Coronation Street bosses have announced that Bruno Langley is reprising his role as Todd Grimshaw.
Todd will return to Weatherfield as a regular character in the autumn, having decided to move back home from London.
Show chiefs are currently keeping quiet about why Todd chooses to make the move.
However, while Todd's mum Eileen (Sue Cleaver) is delighted to have him back, his presence will lead to heartache for more than one of the local residents.
Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn told itv.com: "I'm really happy to welcome Bruno back to Weatherfield. Todd is a much loved character who has real history on the show, and his return will leave Eileen with some impossible choices."
Langley added: "Having worked extensively in the theatre for the past few years, I am very happy to be coming back to Corrie, getting back on screen, and working with my old castmates again. Since I left in 2004, I have met many wonderful people and done some amazing jobs, but best of all I now have a beautiful son Freddie Langley.
"Right now seems to be a great time to return to the Street, as I have just moved back to Manchester myself, and it's going to be interesting to see if Todd has changed after being in London for so long, as I have changed as a person too.
"I would like to thank our producer Stuart for inviting me back, and it's definitely going to make me smile when the Grimshaw family are finally back together again!"
Todd was a regular on the ITV soap between 2001 and 2004. His most memorable storyline saw him struggling with his sexuality while in a relationship with Sarah Platt, before later coming out as gay.
He returned to the show for a brief stint in 2007 and an Easter special in 2011, when he introduced Eileen to his partner Jools.
Another return.
