Tommy Duckworth returns to Coronation Street tonight, Monday 28th March. There's a video preview of the episode here.
Let's take a look back at Tommy Duckworth and remind ourselves who he is and where he belongs in the scheme of things on the Street. With thanks to corrie.net
Tommy Duckworth first appeared: 9 September 1992
Tommy Duckworth was born by caesarean whilst his father Terry was in Strangeways Prison for GBH. After spending a little time in Nº 9, Tommy and his mother Lisa moved back to her parents house in Blackpool. Lisa and Tommy came back to the Street in January 1993 to live with her lover, Des Barnes. Sadly, Lisa was knocked down by a car, and died on 12 February 1993.
Tommy's grandparents - Jack and Vera Duckworth - struggled to look after him. Vera gave up her job, but she looked forward to the end of the year when Terry would be released, and they could all rebuild their lives as one family. Unfortunately, Terry had other ideas, and on Christmas Eve 1993 he returned from the Hortons (Lisa's parents) in Blackpool without Tommy - he had SOLD his son to his in-laws !
Jack and Vera then saw Tommy regularly - they all went on holiday to a caravan in North Wales in May 1995 - but still missed him desperately. In June 1996, Terry appeared back in the Street with Tommy. The Hortons had failed to pay the £2,000 a year they had agreed to pay Terry for Tommy. Eventually the Hortons got him back by paying £10,000, and getting Terry to sign a document giving them total custody of Tommy until he is 18.
Actor Chris Fountain is the third actor to play Tommy Duckworth in Coronation Street. The other actors have been
Darryl Edwards (9 September 1992 - 1997) and Joseph Aston (2 July - 30 August 2000). Interestingly, Joseph Aston is the brother of Sam Aston who currently plays Chesney in Corrie. Their sister Emily has also been on Coronation Street too as Becky Palmer.

Thanks for the recap. I was hoping someone would show one.
I barely remember the story when he was sold to the Hortons. That was when I first started watching Corrie.
This was a great review of the character, cause honestly I can't remember everything!
