Jude Appleton will make a shock return to the cobbles tonight - and it looks like he's up to his old tricks once again.

The compulsive liar, played by Paddy Wallace, makes an appearance after doting mum Mary refuses to give up on him.

Having hired a private detective, Mary (Patti Clare) discovers that he has been spotted at a B&B in Blackpool.

Determined to get her son back, Mary manages to convince friend Roy Cropper to come with her to the seaside resort.

She is delighted when she comes face-to-face with her son once more and begs him to come back with her to Weatherfield.

However Jude reveals that he can't because he still owes a lot of money to the B&B owner.

Mary rushes to help him and promises that she will get him the money from the cashpoint.

However his lies continue

Sadly, Jude appears to have not learnt from his mistakes after it becomes apparent that he's told his new girlfriend Kelly that he's a successful doctor called Ken Barlow!

Mary later appears with the money and hands it to him, telling him that she will be waiting in the car.

Will Jude stand Mary up again?

*Coronation Street airs tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV
