Ryan Thomas, who played builder Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street for 16 years before leaving the soap in 2016, returned to his former work place in Manchester city centre last week.
The long-running soap was filmed at Granada Studios for 53 years before the show relocated to a purpose built location in Trafford in 2014. The old studios briefly became a tourist attraction for Corrie fans, but then the area was redeveloped, so Ryan was surprised when he arrived at his friend’s celebration to discover it was where he used to work on the soap.
While Ryan’s character Jason has left the soap for a new life in Thailand, he is still mentioned on the cobbles, with Jason’s mum Eileen recently visiting her son there after an accident on his moped landed him in hospital. Eileen’s storyline was devised to give actress Sue Cleaver, who plays her, time away from the soap to appear in the nationwide tour of Sister Act: The Musical, in which she played Mother Superior. She is due to return to the soap and the role of Eileen in July.
