Michelle Connor's biological son is set to make a shock return to Coronation Street .
But some fans may not recognise Alex Neeson, as Mount Pleasant star James Burrowes will take on the role after it was previously played by Daario Coates.
Alex left the cobbles back in April 2008 after it was revealed that he was Michelle's biological son, not Ryan.
Michelle was horrified when she found out that Ryan wasn't related to her following a hospital mix-up.

He briefly appeared in Weatherfield but wasn't keen about having much to do with his mum.
Alex is returning to the cobbles 10 years later after being given a job in the medical centre - how will Michelle react when she finds out?
Michelle has had an incredibly difficult time over the past year on the soap.

As well as trying to deal with the death of her stillborn son Ruari, Michelle has had to cope with estranged husband Steve having a baby with Leanne following a one night stand.
Why has Alex returned? And has he got an ulterior motive?
