Coronation Street fans were a little distracted as Linda Hancock made a sudden return to Weatherfield.
Linda, played by Jacqueline Leonard, is the late Katy Armstrong's mum, and grandmother to Joseph Brown.
In October 2017 Joseph's mum, played by Georgia May Foote, was killed off-screen in a car crash in Portugal.
Chesney traveled to Portugal to support Joseph and attend Katy's funeral, before returning back to Weatherfield with Joseph who was still reeling from the death of his mother.

And Linda's last appearance in Weatherfield was back in 2015.
But she jetted back to the cobbles during Wednesday's night double episode.
Chesney was taken aback as he opened the door to No.5 to see Linda there.
The dad-of-five and partner Gemma Winter tried to act like everything has been fine of late - despite it being anything but for young Joseph.
When Linda suggested it must be hard coping with five kids, Chesney assures her it’s a doddle and asks Joseph for backup.
But his eldest son looks back at him with incredulity.
Linda then said they should all go to the Bistro for a meal leaving Jospeh excited and Chesney worried about how they'll pay.
Later at the Bistro, Linda ends up offering to stump the bill and that they can order whatever they want.
But as the returnee got re-settled into Weatherfield, Corrie fans were comparing her to an iconic cartoon character.
@randomstuffxzxz tweeted: "Omg Linda is wearing the Marge Simpson suit #corrie."
"Linda before traveling to Weatherfield #Corrie," @comagirlx echoed alongside a picture of Marge.
Others, however, were quick to compliment actress Jacqueline and welcome her back to the ITV soap.
