Former Auf Wiedersehen Pet star Tim Healy to follow in his wife's footsteps and join the cast of ITV soap Coronation Street.
The popular actor will play the estranged father of Corrie character Sean Tully (Antony Cotton).
Tim's arrival in Weatherfield is set to stir up a mixture of emotions for homosexual factory worker Sean. He is pleased to see his Dad again but can't forgive him for walking out all those years ago.
A Corrie insider is reported as saying "Brian walked out on Sean and his mum when his son was 10 and he hasn't seen him since. Brian has now remarried, lives in a nice house and is doing all right for himself. There will be heartache and tears along the way
- and some joy."
Tim's wife Denise Welch played barmaid Natalie Barnes for three years, before leaving Coronation Street in 2000. She can currently be seen on the lunch-time show Loose Women.
