'Missing' Coronation Street character returns next week after fans left concerned
Coronation Street fans have been left concerned about the whereabouts of Gary Windass recently (played by Mikey North), but fear not, he's back in Weatherfield.
It comes as the Corrie favourite was last spotted on the cobbles back in January, around the time Mason Radcliffe's death storyline aired on the longest-running UK soap.
Yet after weeks of ITV viewers asking where he is, as he's 'not been on screen for months', and fans not recalling any mentions of the star since, it appears a new plot is on the horizon for Gary and wife Maria Connor.
Next week: Carl makes a move on Abi, Maria fears Mick is bad news and Daisy says goodbye to Weatherfield. Read more here: https://t.co/jsY0meBaLI#Corrie pic.twitter.com/mCv1xYP012

Over the past few days, Corrie fans have been asking on X where the character has disappeared to, as someone questioned: '@itvcorrie where's Gary Windass he's not been on screen for mths has he left?'
Another also wondered: 'Has Gary Windass left the show?'
This person posted: 'Where is Gary Windass? Really need his storyline in #Corrie #Coronationstreet.'
One ITV viewer said: 'Gary Windass would knock Mick into next week. Where is Gary btw? He hasn't been on screen for ages? #Corrie.'
A confused X user shared: 'Right where have cast members disappeared to -for example where the hell is Gary Windass and we barely see Mariah either? And while we are at it, what happend to the Trim Up North barbers? Have I missed something?'
This person also asked the Corrie account on social media: 'any chance we see gary windass appear in the near future? cheers.'
However, spoilers for the soap next week have revealed Gary 'shocks' his wife Maria when he announces his plans to buy another local business.
While in Roy's Rolls, he confesses to Maria that sales are slow at the furniture shop and he's thinking of selling up and using the money to buy the builder's yard, Digital Spy reports.
A Coronation Street insider told the publisher: 'While Gary is wrapped up in his dream, Maria is thinking more sensibly.
'She knows they have Liam to think about and can't afford to make silly decisions that could destroy their financial stability.
"Yet, Gary's got itchy feet and misses the builder's yard he used to manage, so he won't let an opportunity to own it for himself slide.'
But soon after, villain Mick Michaelis urges Gary to go ahead with the plans – Maria then comes across the pair having a 'celebratory drink' in the Bistro – but what are they toasting to?

The Corrie insider also told Digital Spy: 'Maria couldn't be clearer in telling Mick he's not welcome.
"After the trouble she's had with his feisty other half, Lou, the couple aren't in her good books, and she thinks it's a mistake for Gary to trust him."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV1 and ITVX.

Channel 4's In Flight cast: Meet the characters and actors, and see where you recognise them from
Another day, another gripping thriller to binge. If you're trying to escape the UK heatwave (hard relate), an evening spent in front of your TV – and a fan blasting cold air – is in order. And, luckily for us, Channel 4 has just released the perfect series to watch in one sitting: In Flight. Starring a string of famous faces (more on that in a moment), the new series follows Jo, a flight attendant whose teenage son is jailed for murder in Bulgaria. Proving that a mother's love knows no bounds, Jo enters a murky world of drug smuggling in a desperate attempt to save him across six episodes. If this sounds like your kind of TV drama (why else would you still be reading this article?) then scroll on for all the tea on the characters and cast of Channel 4's In Flight... The full cast of In Flight: Now, time for a deep-dive into where you recognise these actors from. Boarding passes at the ready! Who is Jo Conran? Jo Conran is a single mum working as a flight attendant. She's coerced by a criminal gang into *spoiler* smuggling drugs at work in order to save her son, who is imprisoned in Bulgaria for a murder he says he didn't commit. What else has Katherine Kelly been in? Most will recognise Katherine Kelly for her role as Becky in Coronation Street, but she's also starred in the likes of Happy Valley, The Night Manager, and Mr Selfridge. The list doesn't end there, though. Kelly has starred in Criminal: UK, The Long Shadow, The Crow Girl, Inside No. 9, Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Protection, and more. Who is Dominic Delaney? They say you shouldn't sh*t where you eat – that being, don't fool around with people at your workplace. But, in Jo's case, that rule doesn't apply, because Dominic Delaney is a customs officer at the same airport she works at... as well as being her ex. What else has Ashley Thomas been in? As well as being a rapper (going by the stage name, Bashy), Ashley Thomas has acted in plenty of on-screen series such as Black Mirror, Top Boy, Great Expectations, and The Serpent Queens. As far as film goes, you might recognise him from 100 Streets, Brotherhood, and 4321. Who is Cormac Kelleher? Cormac Kelleher (what a catchy name!?) is the leader of the criminal gang that coerces Jo into smuggling drugs at work. What else has Stuart Martin been in? With such a long list of TV and film appearances behind him, we'd be surprised if you don't recognise Stuart Martin. His TV acting resume includes Game of Thrones, Silent Witness, Babylon, Medici, and Crossing Lines to name a few, plus films such as Robin Hood, Army of Thieves, and Our Ladies. Who is Sonny Conran? If the surname didn't give it away, Sonny Conran is Jo's son. He's banged up in Bulgaria for an alleged murder committed while on a night out with friends – a murder he promises he didn't commit. What else has Harry Cadby been in? Harry Cadby has previously appeared in TV series such as Red Rose, Inside Man, Life After Life, Dope Girls, and Everything Now, as well as the film O'Dessa. Who is Zara Gregston? Zara Gregston is a friend and colleague of main character, Jo. What else has Ambreen Razia been in? Ambreen Razia is recognisable from her roles in Black Mirror, The Emily Atack Show, Ted Lasso, The Agency, This Way Up, Trigonometry, and Starstruck. Who is Melanie Delaney? Another game of match-the-surname-to-the-corresponding-cast-mate... Melanie Delaney is customs officer Dominic Delaney's wife. What else has Bronagh Waugh been in? Another very recognisable actor, Bronagh Waugh has a massive list of TV appearances behind her. Think: Hollyoaks, The Fall, Derry Girls, Des, Our House, The Suspect, Death in Paradise, Ridley – the list goes on! Channel 4's In Flight is available to stream on Channel 4 from Tuesday 12 August.

Kevin Costner's Deep Regrets About 'One True Love' Whitney Houston
When Whitney Houston passed away in February 2012, many fans were surprised to see her Bodyguard co-star, Kevin Costner, conduct the eulogy. They had no idea that the two celebrities still shared such a close bond 20 years after the film came out. When she died at the age of 48, Costner's public statement about her death gave hints about their relationship. 'I let her down. I should have been there, and I wasn't,' he said, via Digital Spy. 'And now for the rest of my life, I will have to live with that pain. I saved her then; I should have saved her now. She was my one true love. I still have 'I Will Always Love You' as my ringtone, and I count it a badge of honor every time I get mocked for it.' More from SheKnows Kate Hudson's 'Soul Reset' Vacation Included This Bestie Who Is Still Mending a Broken Heart He went on to conduct a moving 17-minute eulogy a week after her passing, where Costner's love for Houston was on display. 'You weren't just pretty — you were as beautiful as a woman could be. And people didn't just like you, Whitney — they loved you,' the now-70-year-old star told the mourners. 'I was your pretend bodyguard once, not so long ago, and now you're gone too soon, leaving us with memories of a little girl who stepped bravely in front of this church, in front of the ones that loved you first, in front of the ones that loved you best and loved you the longest.' Behind the scenes, Costner tried to help her with her addiction struggles and her contentious marriage to Bobby Brown. He revealed to Anderson Cooper later in 2012 that he wrote letters of encouragement, but he doesn't know if they ever reached her. 'There are some people that really love Whitney, and a couple of times during the last seven, eight years, they asked me, would I write her a letter?' he recalled to the journalist. 'She would always be close to me; she would always be somebody I appreciated. When someone says, will you write a letter to someone who you know is having trouble…I did,' he added. 'I don't know if those letters were ever read.' Costner reminisced about his love for Houston in June 2024 on the Armchair Expert podcast and how he protected her in her first major acting role. 'I started to guide her,' Costner revealed. 'And I wasn't trying to usurp my director [Mick Jackson], but I had made a promise to her, not to f—king him. I had promised Whitney she'd be good in it. That was my promise to her: she's always gonna love me in the song.' Costner's enduring love for Houston, even in death, is sweet to hear because her relatives trusted him with her. And even though he couldn't save her from her demons, they always knew he cared for her the of SheKnows 13 Famous Women You Totally Forgot Elvis Dated Celebrities Who Died Tragically Young: Kelley Mack, Lucy Markovic, & More Our Favorite Photos of Dazzling Couple JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette Solve the daily Crossword
