The star was recently confirmed to join this year\u2019s line up in Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>, and now it looks like he\u2019ll be doubly busy this autumn, as he is currently filming new scenes for the ITV soap.<\/p>\n According to Metro<\/a>, Mellor will be making a comeback, and viewers will soon see hints on-screen that may lead to Harvey\u2019s reappearance. However, storyline details surrounding the development are a closely guarded secret.<\/p>\n The villain was last seen in October last year when he broke out of custody after being convicted for his crimes. Harvey made his way back to Weatherfield during the storm, terrifying Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) who had previously been at his mercy<\/a> as she tried to protect stepson Simon Barlow (Alex Bain).<\/p>\n Harvey acquired a gun and aimed fire at Leanne, but Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac<\/span>) happened to be dressed in an identical Halloween costume at the time, and it was she who took the bullet. Natasha later died in hospital<\/a>, devastating son Sam (Jude Riordan). As for Harvey, he held Leanne at gunpoint as she drove away, but she gained the upper hand when she deliberately crashed to stop him in his tracks.<\/p> As a result, Harvey was recaptured by police and sent back to jail \u2013\u00a0but it seems that wasn\u2019t the end of his story.<\/p>\n And with Simon, Leanne and Sam having spent the past year recovering from Harvey\u2019s impact, how will they be affected?<\/p>\n There\u2019s also Jacob Hay (Jack James Ryan), who was a prominent part of the dangerous gang but has since turned his life around and embarked on a romance with Simon\u2019s cousin Amy (Elle Mulvaney). Is Harvey coming for Jacob, making it impossible for him to move on with his life?<\/p>\n When approached by RadioTimes.com<\/a>, ITV declined to comment. Corrie fans will just have to wait and see what transpires, but no doubt we\u2019ll bring you more news when it becomes available.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mellor recently spoke out about his upcoming Strictly journey<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m honestly so chuffed to be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this year! Not going to lie, it\u2019s totally out of my comfort zone and I know it will be a huge challenge but that\u2019s what life is all about.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is also my Mum\u2019s favourite show, and she\u2019s had a really tough few years so I\u2019m doing this is for her as well.
