Coronation Street introduces the show's brand new family tonight (August 21) as Mary Taylor's son Jude Appleton returns to the cobbles.

Jude had a brief stint on the ITV soap at Christmas, but he's now coming back as a show regular with his wife Angie and their baby son George.

The newcomers turn up in Weatherfield in eager anticipation for Mary's upcoming wedding to Norris Cole, completely oblivious to the fact that it's all a sham.

Just before they arrive, a stressed-out Norris suggests to Mary (Patti Clare) that they should call off the marriage charade before things get out of hand, but she stubbornly refuses as she doesn't want to let Jude down.

Later, Mary can barely contain her excitement as Jude and Angie turn up with George – and things only get better when Jude agrees to walk her down the aisle at the wedding on Friday.

The only slight problem is that Angie is quick to spot signs that something doesn't seem quite right between Mary and Norris. Will she realise that their marriage plans are all one big con?

Tonight's scenes see Paddy Wallace reprise his role as Jude, having played him for a handful of episodes in December.

The part of Angie will be played by Victoria Ekanoye, whose previous credits include The Royals.
