Coronation Street icon Steve McDonald made a welcomed comeback to the soap in Tuesday night's episode (November 29) as the character returned from a trip to Spain. But there was a surprise as the soap legend appeared in the Rovers Return in a wheelchair.
Steve, played by Simon Gregson, got sympathy from his pals in the boozer, with the exception of his wife Tracy, as he explained that he had broken his leg while chasing a mugger. Later the taxi driver confessed to his pal Tim Metcalfe that he might have been a bit economical with the truth regarding how he sustained his injury, and warned that she must never find out.
But Tim was then furious to find out that his wife Sally has given away his favourite jacket to a clothes swap. When Tim spotted Steve wearing the jacket, a row ensued and to get his own back he revealed to Tracy that Steve broke his foot at a foam party surrounded by girls.
