Anyone else loving the return of Wayne Hayes to Coronation Street? I know I am and here's why...
Any storyline which means we see more of David Neilson as Roy Cropper getting his acting chops around some very tasty storylines is a plus for this Corrie fan. And Wayne is a real blast from the past that's given Roy a happiness boost. Not only is Wayne acting as Roy's mini-me in his dress sense and pedantic manner, but the two of them are genuinely happy to see each other.
And therein lies the crux.
Because in soap, can anyone truly be happy? Are they allowed to be? If they are, then where's the drama, the grit and the story?
Rumours are circulating that Wayne isn't all that he seems to be, that he's sinister and hiding something. I hope those rumours are wrong. But whatever happens, Wayne will be instrumental, I feel, in the relationship between Carla and Roy when the health and safety inspection report is filed.
And if you'd like to learn all about Wayne Hayes' storyline from start to end when Roy and Hayley fostered him, it's all - every single word written in a fan-friendly way - in A Perfect Duet: The Diary of Roy and Hayley Cropper, available in ebook and paperback here.
