Damon’s got his eye on Nick (Pictures: ITV)
Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) was offered help from a very unlikely source recently in Coronation Street – Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor).
During one of the visits with Sam (Jude Riordan), Nick was stunned when Harvey explained that he has money he would like Nick to take and buy Debbie’s (Sue Devaney) share of the Bistro.
While Nick remains undecided for now, Coronation Street has confirmed a storyline over the festive period, revealing he will be blackmailed by a newcomer after accepting the deal.
The newcomer in question is Damon (Ciaran Griffiths), who also happens to be Jacob’s (Jack James Ryan) dad.
As Damon puts pressure on Nick, he realises there are a lot more strings attached to accepting money from a drug dealer (duh), but will he tell Leanne (Jane Danson) about the mess he’s landed in?

And when it comes to Damon, just what secrets will he bring with him to Weatherfield?
Why hasn’t he been in touch with Jacob?
And what connection does he share with Harvey?
Discussing his new role, Ciaran said: ‘I’m happy to be back in Manchester to see my family and friends after being away in Australia for the last 3 years. The city has changed so much! And what better way to tie it in with a stint on the Cobbles. I watched Corrie as a kid and it’s great to be back with some old friends both cast and crew.
‘I’m loving having the opportunity to work with some quality Northern actors whose work I have long admired, particularly on such a complex character like Damon.’
Damon’s got his demands as he arrives in Weatherfield this Christmas.
