HE was a big part of Coronation Street for 16 years so it’s no surprise that Ryan Thomas is still mates with the cast.
The actor, 39, who played Jason Grimshaw on the ITV soap, reunited with Jane Danson, Brooke Vincent and Samia Longchambon.
Ryan posed up for a snap with the stars and his little boy, captioning the picture: “Manchester's finest & Roman.”
His followers loved the image and begged him to rejoin the show.
One person wrote: “The streets calling your name Ryan.”
A second added: “Just go back to Corrie.”

While another said: “Ryan and Brooke need to be back in Corrie.”
Brooke played Sophie Webster on the soap, but took a step back in 2019 to concentrate on parenthood.
Jane has starred as Leanne Battersby on Corrie since 1997 – with a four year hiatus in 2000.
And Samia has played Maria Connor since 2000.
During his time on the show Ryan dated Tina O’Brien, who still appears as Sarah Platt.
The pair had a daughter together – Scarlett – but have struggled to be amicable since.
Following her split from Ryan Tina went on to marry Adam Crofts, with whom she has a son called Beau, in 2018, after seven years together – and they even invited Ryan to the wedding.
But things came to a head in a late night bust up last year during which Tina is said to have smashed up Ryan's car with a baseball bat.
And just a couple of months ago, Tina took a very pointed swipe at Ryan, branding him "cruel" and a "liar".
Speaking about her relationship with her ex in the past, Tina said: “It’s taken a lot of years and a lot of biting my tongue. Seriously, though, it’s mainly down to Adam and Ryan.
“It helps that everyone has moved on and is in a happy place. Ryan is really happy and we are happy, so there aren’t any issues.
“For the sake of Scarlett, it has been well worth preserving [our relationship] and choosing our battles.”
Ryan is now engaged to marry Lucy Mecklenburgh, with whom he shares two children.
