Old faces return to Coronation Street (VIDEO)

It's the TV version of Friends Reunited in Coronation Street this week when Sean goes to London in search of son Dylan. He meets up with Jamie Baldwin and Violet and discovers their's is not a happy home, certainly no place to bring up a little boy, in a special episode on Sunday night. Sean also reunites with ex-boyfriend Marcus, who's maintained a friendship with Jamie and Vi, and the former couple are soon blissfully recalling the good times. Could this be a new dawn for them? As well, Todd Grimshaw gets a frosty welcome when he returns to the cobbles, while Graeme and Xin are growing ever closer. Get the scoop on Coronation Street:
