Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw) has been away from Coronation Street for months and in Monday’s (November 27) episode, it was confirmed she won’t be returning anytime soon.
The character was last seen on the cobbles during the summer and due to the unexplained absence, it’s left many Corrie fans wondering if we’d actually see her again.
Tonight, Michael (Ryan Russell) revealed that Aggie wouldn’t be back with the family for Christmas, as she is currently looking after his Auntie.
Michael was sad by the development but a distracted Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) didn’t really have much to say.
