Coronation Street icon John Thomson, known for playing Jesse Chadwick, is set to return to Weatherfield in a matter of days - 14 years after he last appeared on the ITV soap
A familiar face is set to return to Coronation Street after over a decade away from our screens. Comedian and actor John Thomson, known for playing Jesse Chadwick on the cobbles, will return to Weatherfield on Wednesday, 9 October - 14 years since he last appeared on the soap.
Having first appeared on the Coronation Street cobbles back in 2008, John, 55, became a familiar face on our screens before departing from the soap in 2010. Speaking of his return to the ITV show, the comedian explained that he was “really happy” to be saying hello to Weatherfield. “I was a bit shell shocked when I first came in because I’d forgotten the speed of the turnaround so it was an absolute baptism of fire. But everyone in the Platts has made me feel so welcome. I just feel secure and proper looked after,” he continued.
