AN infamous Coronation Street killer is making a surprise comeback four years after stabbing David Platt’s wife to death.

Actor Callum Harrison is returning to the soap as murderer Clayton Hibbs.

Clayton was last seen on-screen for the final time when Shona – his mum – visited him in prison.

A source told The Sun: “Callum has already filmed his scenes – they managed to keep everything under wraps because Clayton is still in prison.

“It’ll be a horrible shock for David when Clayton makes his return – bringing up all the memories of Kylie’s death.”

Thug Clayton stabbed Kylie to death in the middle of the street when she tried to stop him from escaping after he attacked her friend.
