Margi Clarke returns to 'Coronation Street'

Actress Margi Clarke has returned to filming with Coronation Street as Tyrone Dobbs's loudmouth mother Jackie.

Last week, the 55-year-old Liverpudlian walked back onto the cobbles for the first time in a year to film scenes in connection with her son Tyrone's tumultuous marriage to his adulterous wife Molly (Vicky Binns).

A Weatherfield source told DS: "With Tyrone and Molly's marriage potentially in jeopardy, how will Jackie's arrival affect the course of events? More to the point, why does she even return?"

Jackie last appeared at the beginning of the year for Tyrone's wedding to Molly. Before fleeing into the night, she stole the newlyweds' honeymoon tickets to Paris.

Earlier this year, Tyrone actor Alan Halsall called for Clarke's full-time return. He told DS at the time: "I'd like to see Margi return full-time, but whether Tyrone as a character would is a different matter!"

Clarke returns to screens as Jackie in late February.
