Legendary Coronation Street villain Richard Hillman looks set to make a shock return to the cobbles - in spirit form.
Gail Platt was horrified to discover that her evil ex has been haunting her from beyond the grave.
Richard died trying to drive the Platts into a canal after attempting to murder Emily Bishop and killing Maxine Peacock during his reign of terror.
But Rosemary the clairvoyant revealed that Richard and his hammer are back - leading Gail to question if he is responsible for her family’s recent trauma.

This could include David’s horrific rape at the hands of Josh, Bethany being lured into a child sex ring and Kylie’s untimely death.
Tricky Dicky could also have influenced Gail’s horror show of a love life which has seen conman Lewis steal all her money and the deaths of Joe McIntyre and Michael Rodwell.
The discovery came when Gail reluctantly arranged to meet Rosemary to warn her away from Audrey.
But her interest was piqued when the psychic told her to forgot about Brian and Ivy Tillsley.
Claiming she was a messenger for the dead, Rosemary told Gail she just wanted her “off my desk”.
She said: “Forgot about Ivy it’s this man and his hammer they’re dragging me down.”

Worried Gail asked: “I though there was a code. Long life and tall handsome strangers and the bad stuff you kept to yourself.”
But concerned Rosemary replied: “Tell that to Richard, he’s tired of waiting Gail.”
Rosemary said Gail should listen to what Richard has to say and asked if she had misfortune in recent years.

Confused Gail said: “Are you saying this Richard whoever he is could have some connection to the bad things that have happened?”
Rosemary said: “I sense a dark spirit. A need to latch on. Control. These things aren’t easy for you to hear.”
Gail finally revealed there was a Richard in her life and arranged a time to meet.
Will she be able to get evil Richard Hillman out of her life for good or will he continue to get revenge from beyond the grave?
