Coronation Street: James Bailey’s return

Last night in Weatherfield, Dee-Dee’s younger brother James returned to the cobbles to visit her.

James had surprised his sister before asking her how she was coping with her pregnancy.

Dee-Dee was delighted to see James, finding out that he’d given up football and was considering coaching.

The reunion was then put on hold though when Dee-Dee had to rush off to the hospital. She was then told that the hospital had found another donor match for Frankie. So, they wouldn’t have to wait until her baby was born.

Back in Dee-Dee’s flat, James made a secret phone call, plucking up the courage to speak to his sister about a certain topic…

The character of James has been recast and is now played by actor Jason Callender, taking over the role from Nathan Graham.

Fans desperate for Aggie Bailey return to Weatherfield

With one member of the Bailey family back on screen once more, fans are now wondering if another will soon follow.

Fans may remember that James, Michael, and Dee-Dee’s mum Aggie ‘mysteriously’ left the soap in the summer of 2023 as the character went to Birmingham to look after a sick aunt. She then went on to break up with husband Ed over the phone as a result of his gambling addiction.

But, now that James has returned, fans are hopeful that Aggie will be next.
