Coronation Street confirms Max Turner's return story
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street's Max Turner returns to screens next week following a short break from the soap.
Max reappears when his dad David Platt pays him a visit at the secure training centre, where he's serving a six-month sentence for his involvement with Griff Reynolds' far-right group.
The teenager was last seen on the ITV soap in late February, when David, Shona and Lily came to see him at the STC. Max showed genuine remorse for his behaviour and promised to slowly redeem himself.

Next week, David tells his mum Gail Rodwell that Max is now being considered for early release after good behaviour at the STC.
David then heads to see Max to deliver the news in person.
Although the signs are looking good for Max, cautious David warns him not to get his hopes up.
These are also the first scenes with Max's new shaven-headed look, after actor Paddy Bever showed off a hair transformation on Instagram in March.

Earlier this year, Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod spoke about long-term plans for Max's future.
MacLeod told ITV1's Loose Women: "He's going to get a happy ending in the end. It's important that we showed a story where somebody who's gone that far down the wrong path, there is the chance to pull them back.
"The story at its heart was supposed to be about a family dealing with: 'How do you communicate with a teenager that's gone this far off-track? How do you bring them back into the fold? How do you redeem them?'
"So yeah, there's a happy ending. It involves a love story. He meets this incredibly unlikely love interest and it's really funny."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
