Actor Antony Cotton revealed the news, tweeting: "Here’s a little secret that’s ready to be let out of the bag.

"Sean’s son, Dylan, makes his return to Weatherfield! Ten years after first being cast, I am thrilled that Liam McCheyne has come back to play Dylan, older and a lot wiser.

"I’m looking forward to the many stories ahead!"

Sean is shocked next week when Dylan comes to live with him. 

Dylan is the child of Sean and his former friend Violet Wilson, who asked to use his sperm back in 2007 when they were both single.

But after the baby was born, Sean was gutted when he discovered that Violet was planning on bringing up the child with her boyfriend Jamie Baldwin.

The couple then went to London, leaving Sean off the birth certificate.

In 2018, Sean got a blast from the past when he got a text from Violet asking why he’d not been paying for child support for Dylan.
