Coronation Street legend set for Weatherfield return as arrival rocks cobbles

Coronation Street will see the return of Weatherfield legend Linda Hancock ahead of Gemma and Chesney's wedding.

Linda is back on the Cobbles for the couple's big day and it looks like her return is already causing chaos amongst residents.

In scenes airing on last night's episode, Linda returned to the cobbles to help Chesney and Gemma prepare for their wedding day, writes The Mirror.

As Gemma discussed the plans for her big day, Linda asked what they had done for catering when Gemma revealed they had got a local bakery, who did pies and pastries, to cater for their day.

After hearing her plans Linda decided to offer to pay for something a bit more luxurious, which left Bernie seething.

The last time Linda was on screens was when she convinced Joseph to move away with her to Portugal in the hope of a better life, after he was being constantly bullied for his parents' lack of money and ability to buy him presents, writes The Mirror.

At the time, Chesney though that Linda could give Joseph a better life and let Linda make plans to take him away.

Chesney told Gemma: "We won't be giving him away. We'll be letting him enjoy a better life," which she disagreed with.

Chesney said he would accept Joseph's decision as "for once he was putting Joseph first".

Many gathered outside to wave Joseph off, but in the last moment, Chesney explained how he really felt.

Joseph told Hope that he wanted to be able to stay with his family, and had actually decided to leave because he thought it would be easier for them because he felt they couldn't 'afford' one another.

Hope passed on this message, leaving Chesney to remind his son how much he meant to him.

"Please don't go. I love you. We all love you. We wouldn't be a family without you," Chesney told Joseph, before saying his son was a "blessing" and "everything to him".

Joseph then decided to stay with his family in Weatherfield.
