Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Coronation Street alumnus Ryan Thomas has shared that his family is baffled by his return to the iconic ITV soap, remarking that they "don't understand it". A cornerstone of the cobbled streets, Ryan first stepped into the role of Jason Grimshaw in 2000, quickly embedding himself into the fabric of Weatherfield. His character became known for a string of entangled romantic exploits with Weatherfield's women like Rosie Webster, Maria Connor, and Sarah Platt — the latter portrayed by Tina O'Brien, who shares a child with Ryan. Beyond his tumultuous love life, a defining element of his stint on the street was his bond with his on-screen mother Eileen, played by Sue Cleaver, who herself is gearing up to bid farewell to the street.

Yet, nearly a decade since he waved goodbye, news has broken that the actor, now 40, is primed for a dramatic comeback. Fans are set for a surprise as Jason returns from his Thai sojourn to drop back into Weatherfield, leaving residents stunned by his unexpected appearance, reports Belfast Live.

Speaking candidly to Inside Soap, he reflected on the importance of Coronation Street in his life: "Even if my children don't understand it now, there will come a time when we sit down and show them. Corrie will always be a reminder of who I am and where I came from." His return to Weatherfield is amidst the Grimshaws' woes, coming hot off the heels of aunty Julie Carp's passing following a lengthy cancer battle. This family grief is compounded as Eileen becomes entangled with the law, facing scrutiny over allegations of having murdered her own sister, Julie. During a heartfelt chat on Loose Women, Sue reminisced about her time on the soap: "I've had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street." She elaborated on her decision to leave, stating: "The door is still firmly open but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures and live fearlessly." Sue took a sabbatical from the cobbles to tread the boards in 'Sister Act The Musical', and subsequently ventured into the jungle on I'm A Celeb in 2022. Catch the latest drama on Coronation Street tonight at 8pm on ITV.

Princess Diana 'knew' who was to blame for 'ruining' her marriage to King Charles
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Princess Diana once disclosed who she held responsible for the collapse of her marriage to King Charles. The couple tied the knot on July 29, 1981, when Diana was just 20 and Charles was 32. Their union was marred by various problems including communication breakdowns and emotional distress. Both King Charles and the late Princess of Wales confessed to having extramarital affairs, leading to their eventual divorce which was finalised in 1996. READ MORE - Our Yorkshire Farm's Reuben Owen fans say same thing as he confirms new career READ MORE - Steve Davis was astonished by Queen Elizabeth II's five-word comment to him Charles notoriously had an affair with the now-Queen Camilla, while Diana was unfaithful to Charles with James Hewitt. Royal expert Ingrid Seward, a friend of Diana's, revealed that the Princess had confided in her about the dissolution of her marriage shortly before her untimely death. When asked who Diana blamed for the end of her marriage, Seward shared, "She said to me just before she died, it wasn't Camilla. 'It wasn't Camilla that ruined our marriage, it was the people around Charles.", reports the Mirror US. (Image: Getty) (Image: Getty Images) While appearing on A Right Royal Podcast, the author confessed that she had never been able to fully comprehend what Diana meant by that comment. However, she added, "But I also remember Diana's father saying how tricky the royal household was." Seward drew parallels between Diana's concerns and those expressed by her son, Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex has recently spoken to the BBC about the Royal family and has previously criticised his relatives on Netflix and in his memoir, Spare. Seward shared her perspective, stating, "What I'm trying to say is that Harry obviously has a point amid his morass of complaints. He does have some valid points, and I'm riveted." She pondered over the concerns raised by both Harry and Diana, asking, "Are they just a load of overinflated egos in the royal household, or are they really trying to help?" Seward also speculated during the episode that Diana would have been proud of Harry's explosive BBC interview. In the conversation, Harry disclosed that he is currently not in touch with King Charles and expressed uncertainty about their future relationship. However, he voiced hope for a reunion with the Royal family someday. Seward elaborated, "I think she might have been proud, 'I'm glad you said what you thought.'" She added, "I think she would, I'm guessing, that she might have been quite proud of him for speaking up and saying what he thought, because that's what she liked. She liked to say exactly what she thought and then deal with the consequences afterwards, which is, of course, what happened to her." Diana herself had a momentous interview when she appeared on Panorama. During the session, she candidly discussed her troubled marriage with Charles and revealed his affair with the now-Queen Camilla. "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," Diana confessed. She also opened up about her own extramarital relationship with James Hewitt and spoke candidly about her mental health struggles.
