Could this mark the return of Damon Hay?
It’s been a few months now since Coronation Street fans saw Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths) sent to prison for armed robbery, but it seems as though we could possibly be seeing the return of the character sometime soon.
According to The Sun, actor Griffiths was spotted on set of the soap in Manchester’s Media City, with a source stating that while it may not mark the return of his character, it could signal the fact that someone else is set to see Hay in prison.
Griffith’s character Damon was sentenced to six years in prison for armed robbery back in March, and so won’t be released anytime soon.
Damon pled guilty to the charges, and after being sentenced, broke things off with Sarah Barlow (Tina O’Brien) and came to realise that it was actually his brother, Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor), who was behind the revised plan to kill the driver in question.
The brothers got into quite the tussle over things, with Damon later admitting that he’d turned his back on crime for good – but has he? The sibling duo were left to plan their family business with Damon remaining in prison.
At the time, when asked about why Corrie bosses had brought him back, Griffiths said: “I think there’s a lot of mileage to him still, you want to see what happens with him and Sarah, you want to see what happens with him and Adam, especially after Adam did the dirty on him last time and forced him to do a runner.”
So, the door has most certainly been left open for Damon’s return – but in what capacity? We’ll just have to wait and see.
