Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ome" data-source="post: 101687" data-attributes="member: 2">Coronation Street is set to bring back a face from the past as Sean Wilson is reprising his role as Martin Platt 13 years after his relationship with the show ended badly. [ATTACH=full]9406[/ATTACH] Over his years in the show, Martin found himself stalked by a nanny and he also had a long running affair with a nurse colleague which ended his marriage to Gail. He would later embark on a controversial affair with schoolgirl Katy Harris who later killed her disapproving dad Tommy before then taking her own life. Sean’s tenure in the soap ended when he refused to do a storyline where Martin would begin dating an underage girl. Speaking about the departure, he said: ‘They were very rude to me when I left. I would rather walk down any other street even if I had a nail in my shoe.’But now he has been persuaded to come back as part of a storyline which will see his on screen son David drugged by newcomer mechanic Josh and then raped. A source for The Sun shared: ‘With David’s rape storyline, the writers thought it would be a good time to have him back properly.’Since leaving the show, in which he spent 20 years, Sean forged a career out of making cheese and found a great deal of success with his company.I always liked Martin, so I'm chuffed they have persuaded him to return, even if it's just for a handful of episodes.</blockquote>
