But Corrie fans were in for a shock as another nasty piece of work reappeared in tonight's episode too - Damon's brother Harvey Gaskell.

Harvey - played by Will Mellor - was last seen on screen in December 2022 and is currently in prison for his previous crimes.

But that hasn't stopped the villain from masterminding more, as he summoned his brother to visit him in jail and told him he had a robbery lined up that he wanted him to be part of.

Damon said he didn't want any part in his plans, as he is trying to turn over a new leaf for the sake of Sarah Platt.

However, Harvey wasn't letting him go easily and said it was good money and if he did the job they would be "quits".

His sibling continued to refuse but Harvey said menacingly: "You get on board with this I'm telling you, or you sleep with one eye open."

But Damon responded: "You think I'm putting my neck on the line for you? I'd rather clean toilets."

He then abruptly left the table and the meeting room, with Harvey looking peeved.

Coronation Street fans took to X - formerly Twitter - to discuss the meeting of the two villains.

One exclaimed: "Great to see Harvey back on Corrie. I wonder if he'll get early release? We know that Simon is leaving soon Harvey could be linked to Simon's exit."

Another groaned: "Oh god, it gets worse. Damon’s gone to visit Harvey."

A third grimaced: "Damon and Harvey, the battle of the baddies."

Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
