Coronation Street producers have announced that they are recasting the role of Gail Platt's eldest son Nick Tilsley.

The 28-year-old character, who was previously played by Adam Rickett, will return to the cobbles later in the year as a new actor takes on the part.

Following a relationship with Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson), Nick left for Canada in 2002 and briefly returned for his mother Gail's (Helen Worth) wedding to Richard Hillman (Brian Capron).

His next return came in in September 2003, during which Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) attempted to kiss him in what was Coronation Street's first gay clinch.

When his on-off relationship with Maria (Samia Smith) broke down, Nick was last seen leaving the Street in a taxi to start a new life and job in Nottingham. Since his departure, he has been referenced in scripts by his family on numerous occasions.

A Corrie spokesperson said: "It will be great to see the return of Nick, he has so many links with the street - both with his family and also with the various women he has had relationships with."

They added: "It will be interesting to see how Leanne and Maria will react to his return and of course David has never really got on with his stepbrother so there will be some fireworks there."

Rickett can currently be seen in New Zealand-based soap Shortland Street. He previously embarked on a brief pop career before being approved as a prospective candidate of the Conservative Party.

Last week, it was claimed that producers are lining up Tina O'Brien for a return as Nick's sister Sarah-Louise Platt.

Ryan Thomas, who plays Jason Grimshaw, recently revealed his desire for his screen brother Bruno Langley to make a comeback.

ITV Studios commissioned to create content based on UK soap.

The content will initially be online-only at www.itv.com/corrie in the form of cast interviews, backstage footage and archive clips, in addition to episode summaries, sneak previews and character profile.

However, the Digital Production unit of ITV Studios says it hopes to "further entice users with Corrie-specific mobile downloads and games later in the year".

And by the end of the summer there will also be what ITV calls a 'robust mobile merchandise offering' for www.itv.com/corrie that will include music ringtones, voice ringers and graphics.

Kate Bradshaw, Deputy MD & Head of Online Commissioning at ITV, said: “The new Coronation Street website looks fantastic and it really belongs to ITV.com/Corrie. The exclusive video content is hugely entertaining and carefully branded to complement the official area. This is a significant and exciting example of the way we’re supporting ITV’s biggest shows online.”

ITV has announced it will pilot a brand new online series based on Coronation Street at the official Corrie site.

Street Talk will be hosted by a famous fan and will feature interviews with cast members, on set news, gossip and Corrie previews.

Plus, three video channels will host Cast Talk, with actors talking about current and upcoming storylines, Backstage with behind-the-scenes footage and Video Vault showcasing classic Corrie moments. Later this summer ITV will also release mobile downloads including Corrie ringtones, graphics and games.

It all sounds good to this Corrie fan, and if I may say it, about flaming time too.
