Coronation Street fans say they 'still can't believe' as character 'back' amid villain 'return'

It's been three years since Corey was last seen on the ITV soap and following his arrival in 2019, played by Maximus Evans, he was quickly involved in a shocking hate crime attack on Nina Lucas and her boyfriend Seb which claimed the latter's life.
It was then revealed in flashback scenes last month that the young footballer was responsible for kicking the builder until he was motionless on the floor with him later dying from his injuries.
But it took time for the truth to prevail as Nina experienced memory loss as a result of the trauma and Corey managed to avoid any responsibility in the first trial with Kelly Neelan being blamed for Seb's death.
