The villain sped away from Weatherfield in June after he came under fire when Adam discovered his affair with Sarah.

The angry husband retaliated by setting a gang on him and Damon had to flee Manchester as he feared violence.

But now show bosses have revealed that the drug lord is returning to Coronation Street, and he’s set his sights on Sarah again.

His comeback starts off with Damon planning to get revenge on Adam for the stitch up, but as time goes by will love conquer all?

Producer Iain MacLeod told the Sun Online: “It arrives as a fairly blunt force on, as I say, the first episode in the new year if I’m remembering correctly, and then the story then becomes a kind of love triangle where Damon, we also imagined, has been spending his intervening months pining for Sarah. 

“I felt there was a really intense feeling between those two, there was really natural chemistry and connection, and he comes back with a kind of two pronged plan.

“The first of them is that he wants to get his revenge on Adam and the second is that he wants Sarah back because he feels like she’s ‘the one’ and he will essentially have to contend with the fact that these two plans might not be compatible.

“Like can he have his revenge and also have Sarah? The answer might well be no, so which one is he going to choose? It’s a brilliant, exciting, high octane story.

“As it shakes down, Damon’s revenge may start to take a backseat to his feelings for Sarah.”
