Coronation Street’s Alex Warner actor Liam Bairstow returning to soap after shielding for a YEAR
HE's been greatly missed serving in Roy's cafe, but Coronation Street's Alex Warner will return to the soap ‘soon’ after more than a year off. Actor Liam Bairstow, who plays Alex, had been forced to step away from the famous 'cobbles' and shield at home because of the coronavirus pandemic. Liam, who has Downs’s Syndrome, was last seen on-screen last March before the soap was forced to halt production when the country went into a national lockdown. The show's double billing of episodes temporarily went down to singles, to allow filming to catch up when they were allowed back following the first lockdown.
