Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths) made an unexpected comeback in tonight's Coronation Street (4th October 2024), as he stepped in to offer help to his struggling ex, Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien).

With Sarah still in Turkey while her daughter Bethany (Lucy Fallon) recovers from major surgery which has left her with a permanent stoma, she asked her ex-husband Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) to check her voicemails for her.

Adam discovered a message from Damon, who shared that he had stashed a huge amount of cash from the armed robbery in a lock up, and that Sarah was welcome to use it for Bethany's treatment.

Conflicted over what to do for the best, Adam confided in his uncle, Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), who was on the verge of using his son Bertie's trust fund to pay for Bethany's care.

Daniel insisted that using the robbery money was illegal, and that Adam must not tell Sarah anything. But Adam was keen to find out whether Damon was being genuine, and paid him a visit at the prison.

Damon insisted that he was serious about gifting the cash to Sarah. He was well aware that he and Sarah were over, but Damon still wanted to help, and he would only ring Sarah again if Adam kept this quiet.

Later, Adam updated Daniel, and explained that he planned to speak to Sarah and leave the decision up to her. But Daniel ordered Adam to delete the voicemail and forget the whole thing.

Official spoilers for the ITV soap have already confirmed that Adam will tell Sarah the truth, and that Sarah subsequently makes a call to Damon.

Whether Sarah takes up his offer remains to be seen, but Damon's sudden reappearance has left us wondering if we will see him again.

Well, it's good news for fans of the character, as RadioTimes.com understands that we will see more of Damon at the prison in upcoming scenes. However, there is no suggestion that Damon will return beyond his involvement in the current storyline.

Despite his villainous behaviour, Damon made quite the impression on the cobbles and there's a likeable side to the rogue, so this is certainly welcome news.
