Coronation Street welcomed back Simon Barlow after a brief on-screen absence.
Simon has been with the show for nearly two decades, first appearing all the way back in 2003. Though the actor has naturally gone through several recasts, the character has remained a recurring background character for the cobbles.
Simon is more of a neutral cast member but dealt with some of the show's heavier subjects including bullying and abuse. The teenager's rough spots may be over for the time being as he managed to duck away from the spotlight over the last few weeks.
