Coronation Street will dedicate an episode to the late Betty Driver with her on-screen son, played by the Everton boss Bill Kenwright, returning to pay tribute.
Betty, who became famous for serving hot pot in The Rovers Return, died in October last year.
BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast got more details from Alison Sinclair who is the senior publicity manager for Coronation Street
Alison confirmed that Bill Kenwright will be returning to Corrie as Betty's son Gordon and that he'll be the one who breaks the news of Betty's death.
And Alison said that yes, Betty's secret will be revealed at her wake too - read more on that here.
