Coronation Street fans have found themselves changing their opinions on a once much-loved character.
Chesney Brown has been having a difficult time of late as money remains tight at No.5.
Last week, the dad of five and his partner Gemma Winter were left frantic when Joseph disappeared.
The 10-year-old left home after he revealed that he was being bullied at school because they can’t afford to buy new things.

Kebab shop worker Chesney stormed off to the school to complain about his son's treatment, despite him promising his son he'd stay quiet and left his son upset.
A search soon began for the missing schoolboy when all the while he was being hidden by cousin Hope Stape in the family's loft.
Joseph's disappearance wasn't as dramatic as it felt to a worried Chesney and Gemma, and he was soon returned home after being spotted back on the cobbles by Bernie Winter's friend Clint Stubbins.
He then pocketed the £30,000 reward that was raised for Joseph's return but was soon splitting it with Bernie after she discovered Joseph and Hope were already in touching distance of home when he found them.
But in the latest twist, Hope was forced to confess to Fiz after she found empty crisp packets and cans of pop in the loft.
She did, however, lie about what happened and told her mum and grandmother Evelyn that it was Bernie who put them up to it.
Later, after having to go to the police station to answer questions, Bernie returned back home to collect her belongings as she wasn't allowed to stay with Gemma and Chesney as she pends further investigation.
Chesney soon made it clear that she wasn't welcome there and would not be stepping foot in their house again.
And Corrie viewers were soon talking about him.
@aaabbb3 tweeted: "Since when did Chesney become so nasty! And everyone believing everything the weirdo child Hope says, without the slightest question? Despite HER history?? Come on.... #corrie."
"#Corrie I’m fuming at Chesney blaming everything on Bernie as it was Hope fault as she hid Joseph herself #TheTruthWillComeOut," @katelynchris020 said.
@sarahpurbrick82 commented: "I don't tweet much TV but Chesney is turning into a right old man proper miserable g*t. #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie."
Amanda wrote on Facebook: "I really feel for Bernie. Chesney really needs to stop being so horrible to people especially bernie who has been there for them... Chesney really needs to put a smile on his face.... yes things are tough, but he never smiles."
Chesney, played by Sam Aston, first arrived on the cobbles back in 2003 as the younger brother of Fiz and son of Cilla Battersby-Brown.
