Coronation Street's Elaine Jones will finally reappear tonight, five months after disappearing.
Tim Metcalfe, played by Joe Duttine, will have an emotional reunion with his mum after initially not believing her when she said she was his mum.
The cabbie was left deeply regretful after discovering what his dad Geoff (Ian Bartholomew) was really like.
After fearing that Geoff had done something to Elaine, played by Paula Wilcox, Tim this week received a call from the police ahead of Yasmeen's trial.
They revealed that Elaine had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, prompting Alya to fear that her gran's case has been scuppered.
This evening, however, Tim is determined to see his mum and visits her in hospital.
As he apologises for not believing her, the pair share a heartwarming moment but he then asks her to give evidence at the trial.
The thought of facing her ex-husband again sends shivers down her spine as she confesses that she believes Geoff has been spying on her.
Tim tries his best to help Elaine to reconsider as she is Yasmeen's last hope.
Meanwhile, the court begins to get underway and Geoff plays to the jury, claiming Yasmeen fiercely attacked him with a broken bottle.
But Imran later cross examines Geoff, who is forced to admit that his first wife, Elaine, might not be dead and she might be Tim's mum.
*Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV
