Coronation Street actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson, who plays Nicky Wheatley in the long-running soap, made a return to the Weatherfield earlier this year much to the delight of her fans.
The character first appeared in June 2020 when she met the recently widowed Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), but left four months later to start a new life with her daughter.
Now back on the cobbles, the 34-year old has reprised her role with Nicky working as a teaching assistant alongside Daniel at Weatherfield High. However, that began to fall apart last week when Max Turner (Harry McDermott) overheard Daniel and his new girlfriend rowing in the street about his past relationship with Nicky and her previous work.
