A typical soap explosive storyline followed with Nick almost dying in quicksand.

He soon realised that he had to leave Weatherfield for his own sanity and promptly flogged his remaining share of the Bistro to Robert Preston.

A low key exit followed as Nick moved away to begin a new life.

But while he’s been away, his ex Carla Connor has returned to the cobbles leading many to suspect that the old love triangle is about to resumed.

Nick famously battled Peter Barlow for both Carla and Leanne, so could his comeback see a return to that?
