** Here's what Martin Platt has been up to over the last few years...**
Coronation Street fans were VERY excited to hear about Martin Platt's return to the soap last month.
Actor Sean Wilson was last spotted on the cobbles back in 2005, and has since created an award-winning cheese company.
But he's turning back to his acting roots later in the year to support his son David through a truly traumatic storyline.

Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle Dingle)
Eden Taylor-Draper has played Belle Dingle since 2005, when she fell down a mineshaft on Christmas day. Speaking about being a child actor she said at the time, 'there is no time to go off the rails like Belle, I go home and learn my lines and I am in bed by 9pm!' Where is Eden now?

Eden is still in Emmerdale and recently was involved in a storyline where Belle pretended to be pregnant to keep her boyfriend. Uh oh.
Charlie Jones (Ben Mitchell)
'Enders troublemaker Ben Mitchell has been played by a handful of actors, but we'll never forget the sweet Charlie Jones who was tormented by the evil Stella. Where is Charlie now?

Charlie is now studying acting at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts – he looks COMPLETELY different to his Walford days.
Charlie Clements (Bradley Branning)
Albert Square's favourite ginge (apart from his onscreen dad Max, obv) Bradley, was a knitted jumper-wearing sweetheart and made us want to pinch his cheeks through the television between 2006 - 2010. We are still getting over his tragic fall, where he saw his grizzly end. Where is Charlie now?
Charlie Clements (Bradley Branning)
We hardly recognise Charlie Clements with a beard! The actor uploaded the snap to Twitter with the caption. "A year ago everyone was up in arms because I looked SO different at 28 to 18.. bet they didn't expect this at 29! #actor 'chameleon', He has since starred as Charlie Brackenreid in Murdoch Mystereries.
Sonny Flood (Josh Ashworth)
Of course you remember Hollyoak's rather swishy-haired Josh Ashworth! His character was best known for dating Amy Barnes and an array of outlandish storylines including attempted murder, underage sex, drugs, drinking and joy riding. Where is Sonny now?
Sonny Flood (Josh Ashworth
Sonny has since completed a law degree at the University of Manchester, working as a paralegal. Miles away from underage drinking a pint at The Dog, eh!
And a TV source has revealed that Martin has been VERY busy in his time away from Weatherfield - as he's due to return with his PREGNANT girlfriend Robyn in tow.
But hang on a minute - Martin left Coronation Street with Robyn in 2005 who soon after gave birth to a little girl.
Then in January 2006, she was pregnant again.
So they'll now be back on the Street while Robyn is pregnant for the third time... Sheesh, they've been busy!
A source told The Sun: "Martin was always a womaniser and that didn't stop when he left Weatherfield all those years ago.
"He's moved on from everything that happened on the Street and built a new life for himself and that includes a new family.
"There will be a new Platt on the way but David's not going to be too pleased about the thought of having a little brother or sister."
That's all very well, but we think poor David is going to have bigger things on his mind - especially as viewers know that his increasing bond with new friend mechanic Josh Tucker is going to end disastrously.
