STEVE McDonald is set to return to Weatherfield in tonight's Coronation Street - after his scorned wife Tracy Barlow abandoned him in a Moroccan desert.
The ITV soap have shared a teaser clip from the episode, which sees a furious Steve rocking an incredibly sore-looking sunburn.
Earlier this month, Tracy (Kate Ford), returned from her and Steve's honeymoon alone - leaving her new spouse in the desert after he cheated on her with Leanne Battersby.

With Tracy taking off with his passport, money, and keys, a raging Steve shouts up to his wife to let him into their home.
Quipping that vultures were circling him overhead as he fried in Morocco, Steve yells: "I am burnt to a crisp here.
"I must have shed my own body weight in skin."
"Oh, just like a snake - how appropriate," Tracy replies.
Steve goes on to reveal more details about his ordeal - including the fact that he had to spend time in a Moroccan prison.
He rants: "If that goat herder hadn't of happened by... 18 hours in the back of that truck!
"18 hours bouncing over dirt roads with half a dozen goats for company - just to try and get back to the resort!
"And when I threw myself at the mercy of the hotel manager, he rang the police.
"If it hadn't been for the British consul I would still be in a Moroccan prison now!"
When the pair's daughter, Amy, asks what on earth is going on, Tracy simply replies that Steve "had it coming" - with the teen muttering that her parent's are "like a pair of toddlers".
Fans of the soap were left tickled when Tracy punched Steve in the face during their first dance wedding routine after learning that he had been unfaithful.
The scorned bride then attacked Leanne with the wedding cake.
Former lovers Steve and Leanne fell into bed for a steamy romp together just days before his wedding to Tracy.
The two previously conceived son Oliver during a sordid affair - with Steve in a relationship with Michelle Connor at the time.
Corrie fans can watch the scenes unfold tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
