While the plucky youngster has been a regular on the street, mum Natasha has been back and forth due to her job in London.

After finally agreeing to leave Sam with his dad after the kidnap ordeal at the hands of Sharon Bentley and Harvey Gaskall, Natash will make a return to Weatherfield.

Viewers will see Natasha speaking to Dev who is intrigued when she mentions she is considering buying the closed Salon so that Sam can be closer to his dad and the Platt family.

But Natasha’s plans to buy the salon are dealt a blow when Gsil remiss her that she said she would pay to get the sinkhole sorted out.

Later, in the Rovers, Audrey cracks open the fizz and reveals that she’s paying for Gail’s sinkhole repairs so that Natasha can go ahead and buy the salon leaving Natasha utterly thrilled.

Nick and Leanne then return to the street to find Natasha taking photos of the salon.

When she reveals that she’s in the process of buying it, they're delighted for her.

And that's not all.

There's also a tease of romance for Natasha - but it is very much short-lived.
