The ITV Corrie site broke the news today that Nick Tilsley is returning to Weatherfield!By the end of the year, Gail will have her first-born son back within reach of the apron strings again on Coronation Street, albeit with a new head. The last Nick was played by Adam Rickett who is now happily ensconced in New Zealand on a soap there, Shortland Street, so the casting call has gone out for a hunky man about the age of 30.
Oddly, the news article says that David never got on with his older brother but that's not true, is it? David adored his older brother but really didn't know him very well. Nick spent quite a few years in Canada while David was growing up and then left the area after a brief return. His exes, Leanne and Maria are still around, of course, and then there's a few other randy young women that will certainly give him the glad eye. (Yes, Rosie, I'm looking at you, and you, too, Mrs. Molly Dobbs! Trollops, the pair of ye's!)
