Corrie's Seb star Harry Visinoni spills what he couldn't change ahead of coming back from the dead for flashback scenes

Coronation Street star Harry Visinoni has revealed all about his return to the soap after being killed off in heartbreaking scenes.

Fans of the ITV soap were in tears when Seb Franklin died with his mum Abi Franklin by his hospital bedside following a vicious attack.

Seb and girlfriend Nina Lucas were set upon by Corey Brent and his gang as well as Kelly Neelan as part of a hate crime storyline for the soap.

The fallout from Seb's death in May has continued to ripple throughout Weatherfield and next week, viewers will finally find out what happened on that fateful night.

Actor Harry will be seen in Monday night’s double bill of Corrie (August 20) as it features cleverly shot flashback scenes which takes Nina and the viewer back to when Seb brutally murdered.

Viewers will also find out once and for all who was responsible for the senseless crime.

Harry has revealed that he returned to the Salford-based soap a 'couple of months' after his official last day on set.

"I had to make sure I didn’t look too different," he said. "I had wanted to have a really different hair cut when I left but I had to keep Seb’s long hair.

"I was back for over a week to film the scenes. I always knew that I would be coming back to film but I didn't know exactly what the flashback scenes were going to show, there was a lot more detail in the scenes and more filming than I expected but I’m really pleased with what we have done."

And it was also a different filming experience to what Harry had got used - and Nina and Seb could finally share a kiss.

"The whole relationship had been filmed in the past two metres apart and suddenly we were able to be really close to each other," Harry said.

"There is a moment in the reconstruction where we actually got to kiss and that really helps tell the story of that night and remind people of the beauty of their relationship and ensure the viewers are invested in the outcome of the trial."

Harry also revealed that he did watch his final scenes but it "didn't affect him".

"I watched Seb’s death with my mum and my girlfriend and they found it really upsetting to watch," he said.

"I was more affected by watching the other scenes with Nina, Roy and Abi, they were all so brilliant and I was so proud to have been a part of that story with those fantastic actors."
