John Thomson returns to Corrie

Fans of John Thomson will be pleased to hear that he's returning to Coronation Street and this time he'll be a permanent cast member.

The Sun reports that his character of Jesse will be making a move on Eileen Grimshaw and moving in with Peter Barlow (as this blog reported months ago). John said: "I knew I was coming back this time because they gave me a surname!"

And the name's Chadwick, Jesse Chadwick: licensed to give Eileen Grimshaw a thrill.
