Coronation Street star Liam McCheyne, who plays Sean Tully's son Dylan Wilson, has confirmed he is returning to the ITV soap. The actor shared a sneak peek of the scripts on social media, revealing his character will be back on the cobbles shortly.
Dylan, the child of Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) and his former friend Violet Wilson, last appeared in 2020 during a short stint. He will now be returning to Weatherfield to live with his father on a permanent basis.
Liam McCheyne announced his return on Twitter, writing: "BIG NEWS!! Can't wait and super excited to get back to work Corrie on May 17th. Hopefully many memories to come." Fans were quick to congratulate him, with one commenting: "Looking forward to your return Liam. Glad you're coming back."
Dylan was born on the soap in 2007 after Violet asked Sean to donate his sperm. He made a brief return in January 2021 as part of a storyline tackling homophobia. Antony Cotton has expressed his excitement about the new dynamic, telling Digital Spy: "He's going to come back full-time. I can't wait for it, as it gives me a totally different dynamic."
Cotton added to the Manchester Evening News: "Sean is going to finally get his son Dylan back home for a great run of storylines that will map out the next 12 months."
