He first appeared on the ITV soap back in 2000 before he made his first departure in 2016.
As he makes his Coronation Street comeback this week after nine years, it seems that the character will waste no time getting reacquainted with those on the street.
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner previously hinted that there may be a potential romance on the cards.
He previously teased that he would be rumbled by other Weatherfield residents after he takes a mystery woman home.
According to spoilers, it's been revealed that Jason's love interest will be none other than Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson).
She is of course the wife of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), who had an illicit affair with Jason's brother Todd (Gareth Pierce) before it all came out.
After Sarah (Tina O'Brien) was caught lying for Todd, Danielle soon caught her husband kissing Todd.
Although he vowed to stick with his wife, their marriage has been struggling to survive and Theo's daughter soon turned up on the street to confront him.
Danielle will start to get to know Jason and things will get flirty between the duo.
Even though she enjoys his company, how will she react when she finds out that he is in fact Todd's brother?

Will she tell her new love interest about his brother and her husband?
Jason won't be sticking around to find out the result as Ryan only reprised his iconic role for a short stint.
His final scenes will air as part of his on-screen mother Eileen Grimshaw's (Sue Cleaver) exit storyline.
After two decades in her iconic role, the actress will depart the soap next Friday (June 6).
Jason will be heavily involved in the situation as Eileen will be forced to make a huge choice about her life and future after the death of her sister Julie (Katy Cavanagh).
The former I'm A Celebrity campmate recently spoke out about her exit scenes as she gushed over her last scenes.
She said: "I said very much that I would like her to go off to pastures new, you know, to kind of mirror what I'm doing in a sense.
"And I just think it's time for a change. So it was perfect. I'm so happy with the ending, and I was so humbled by it and the way it had been written and what it is.
She added: "I felt very grateful to have such a wonderful ending written. It seemed very, very apt."
