ITV Coronation Street fans fear for missing character as Spider Nugent to return

Coronation Street fans have shared their anxiety after Spider Nugent's return was announced.

ITV confirmed Martin Hancock will resume the role he played as Emily Bishop's eco-warrior nephew between 1997 and 2003 next month, appearing on our screens in July. As the on/off boyfriend of Toyah Battersby, Spider left Coronation Street in 2003, when he headed to London to start afresh with Toyah.

They later separated with Spider moving to Peru, while after a failed marriage Toyah returned to be with her family in 2016. However, fans are worried Spider's return may bring sad news about his auntie Emily.
