Coronation Street viewers convinced long-dead character has returned to cobbles

Coronation Street was very dramatic on Friday night.

There were shots fired. Surprise returns (and departures). Near-death experiences for multiple characters. And those are just the scenes that Pat Phelan was involved in. But away from all that, Gail got back in touch with her psychic, Rosemary, for help and tried to arrange to meet her again. After telling her that she was in the car and would have to get back to her, Rosemary turned around and fans reckoned they had a glimpse of one of the Ghosts of Weatherfield. There was a man in the car with Rosemary, who told her "bravo, my dear, bravo" - and fans were convinced it was Richard Hillman. Yes, the same Richard Hillman who tried to kill Gail, David, Bethany and Sarah. And who died in 2003. https://twitter.com/j_6700/status/1002648542362636288 https://twitter.com/MilesOfNicki/status/1002649712774787077 https://twitter.com/jack1_1989/status/1002648813465755648 https://twitter.com/itsnikkirx/status/1002649583980367873 https://twitter.com/alexbrownbooks/status/1002649403461644288 It wasn't quite who fans expected, though. The Coronation Street Twitter account confirmed the identity of Rosemary's pal, and it's none other than Lewis Archer. https://twitter.com/itvcorrie/status/1002648082268508160 It turns out that the clairvoyant and the conman were actually working together to scam Gail out of another £3,000. All in an effort to get rid of the apparently curse Richard Hillman has over the Platt family. So, y'know, guess that kind of counts as him being back.
