As the investigation into the disappearance of Lauren Bolton<\/a> continues, it has been confirmed that Chris Harper will be returning<\/a> as Nathan Curtis in Coronation Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bethany (Lucy Fallon) will first spot her abuser Nathan lurking in Weatherfield again at the reconstruction of Lauren\u2019s last known movements, and will later find out that he was released from prison some time ago, and is now working on a nearby building site.<\/p>\n

Bethany soon becomes convinced that Nathan was the one behind Lauren\u2019s suspected murder, but with Roy behind bars<\/a> awaiting trial for murder and Nathan keen to make out he\u2019s a changed character, what\u2019s the truth?<\/p>\n

On being asked to return to the show, Harper said: \u201cI was emotional when I was told about Nathan\u2019s potential return. During the 18 months he was in it before, hundreds of people shared with me how the storyline reflected something they, or someone they loved, had lived through. It remains important to keep them in mind as we continue Bethany\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, I am grateful for the ongoing support of Barnardo\u2019s<\/a>, NSPCC<\/a>, S.H.E.UK<\/a>, and all the people who trusted me last time. We have another chance to raise an issue that affects so many lives, so often shrouded in shame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harper also spoke about his character\u2019s new storyline, saying: \u201cI do love playing Nathan though. He is funny, deceitful, slippery, manipulative and ruthless. Now he is also under a lot of pressure too. This new storyline is absolutely full of twists.<\/p>\n
