'Coronation Street' return for Bill Webster

Coronation Street's Bill Webster will return for another stint on the cobbles later this year, it has been revealed.

The show veteran, played by Peter Armitage, makes his screen comeback in September when he arrives back in Weatherfield following a period of travelling with partner Pam Hobsworth. Details of Kate Anthony's return as Pam first emerged earlier this week.

As Bill and Pam settle back in, the pair announce that they are planning to marry, according to a report in The Mirror. However, trouble brews as Pam clashes with Bill's son Kevin.

Unable to forget the destructive affair that her late niece Molly had with Kevin, Pam apparently remains at odds with the mechanic - which has shocking consequences when the stress of the situation leads to Bill having a suspected heart attack.

"Pam still blames Kevin for Molly's death after the 2010 tram crash and won't allow him anywhere near the wedding," a source told the newspaper. "The stress causes Bill to collapse."

Armitage has played the role of Bill on and off since 1984.
