Coronation Street bosses have announced plans to broadcast a special Easter episode of the soap which will include scenes filmed in London.

An hour-long edition due to air next month will see Weatherfield's Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) head to the capital to be reunited with his son Dylan at the Easter holidays.

During his time away from home, Sean is both surprised and thrilled to bump into his ex-boyfriend Marcus Dent, played by Charlie Condou.

Fans will also have the chance to catch up with old Weatherfield residents as Dylan's mum Violet (Jenny Platt) and her boyfriend Jamie (Rupert Hill) both appear in the episode.

Additionally, the special sees Bruno Langley reprise his role as Todd Grimshaw as he returns to Weatherfield to introduce mum Eileen to his new rich boyfriend.

Show bosses have promised that there will be surprises in store as Todd's journey north does not go entirely to plan, while Sean's time in the capital also sparks some unexpected events.

Speaking of the special, a Coronation Street spokesperson commented: "It will be a real treat for Corrie viewers to see Sean exploring the sights of London, whilst at the same time Todd returns to Weatherfield to catch up with his mum.

"Sean is desperate to be a real dad to Dylan so when Violet says he can visit he is thrilled, but when he arrives in the capital he is in for a few surprises.

I keep hoping Danny would come back, Bradley Walsh might be up for it but I don't think Debra Stephenson would return as Frankie.

Danny would cause trouble for Leanne if he returned and maybe have his eye on Carla?

I'd love for Danny to come back, wish he never left

Me too, must admit those rumours surrounding him and Debra were hilarious.

[Scarlett.]

Indeed lol

[bbfan1991]

I would have liked to see Leanne bump into Jamie again?, maybe Rupert and Jenny will return for good but they're based in London now so probably not..

[Scarlett.]

Aye, they're married in real life arent they?

Just read this on DS, 4 returnees in one episode? Should be good though

[Scarlett.]

It's a special episode though the two storylines will apparently be the only ones

[Scarlett.]

I made this for teh blog lol


I wonder where Violet and Jamie are living now? It'd be funny if their local was a pub called the Queen Elizabeth or something xD

[Kerry]

It'll be strange to see them again

[Scarlett.]

Aye, I loved the little group of friends during their time on the street

[Beastie]

Errrr don't like Jamie. I did like Violet but then she went all "mehhhhh". To be honest.. they are even worse than Shaun. lol

Looking forward to Todd but that's it.

[Scarlett.]

The characters will have grown up now though I wonder if Jamie and Violet are married now, Violet Baldwin lol
