A CORONATION Street legend will be back on the cobbles in just days after months away from the Street.
The show will be preparing to say hello to the character once again after the actress decided to leave the show full-time and secure a new part-time contact with the ITV soap.

Maureen Lipman plays Evelyn Plummer on the programme but decided to walk away from being a full-time cast member last year.
Instead, she became one of the first stars to ink one of the new shorter-term part-time contacts being handed out to stars in order to retain them on the show for just a few weeks a year whilst allowing them to pursue other ventures elsewhere when not filming.
These are being handed out more frequently to cast members who wish to take time away from the show as well as to those with less storylines as part of a cost-saving measure at ITV.
Now, having been off-screen for months studying at university, Evelyn will be back for a short stint to catch up with all the mayhem on the cobbles.
She will make a comeback to catch-up with her old pal Roy Cropper in an unexpected arrival.
Whilst Roy is delighted to see her, he soon feels awkward when she invites herself to his planned dinner with Carla Connor and Lisa Swain.
However, Evelyn’s presence at the dinner is the least of their concerns when a mystery woman shows up.
A lady called Tia Wardley interrupts the meal with Corrie fans knowing that Lisa and Carla have been searching for a woman with the same name.
It soon transpires that Tia herself is also already very aware they have been trying to track her down?
But what happens next and is it purely a coincidence that Evelyn happens to be there?
Coronation Street fans spot worrying sign as Evelyn Plummer returns after weeks away
Maureen first began playing Evelyn full-time in September 2018 until December of last year.
She briefly returned in March of this year ahead of her next stint in the upcoming week.
Maureen told The Sun she wanted to “enjoy life” and focus on her engagement as the main reason behind her full-time Corrie departure.
She became engaged having proposed to business consultant boyfriend David Turner, 78, last year.
Maureen told us: “I’ll be absent for a while, and then coming back.
