It isn’t long before Will and Michelle find themselves taking a trip down memory lane.

Michelle is left all alone while husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is still in Spain, helping out his brother Andy.

Meanwhile, Michelle has been left running the Rovers Return and helping out with Steve’s troubled daughter Amy – all while still trying to run her own business.

Will and Michelle will become closer and closer as they spend time together planning Will’s wedding. Can they avoid temptation?

Leon and Kym started filming together this week and Will’s first scenes will be screened in April.
