But when Gail discovers the ship Audrey is supposed to be sailing the seven seas on has actually been out of service for months, she’s left feeling concerned.

Gail pops round to pay her mum a visit to check everything is ok but, when she pops her head through the window, she’s horrified by what she sees.

Audrey isn’t on a cruise but is actually enjoying a date night with Lewis, who robbed Gail of £40k back in 2013 before he left the country.

Outraged Gail heads home and tells David that Audrey has fallen for Lewis’ charms again and vows to keep them apart.

The next day David calls Audrey into the salon and locks her in.

Audrey is baffled when Gail emerges from the back room but it all becomes clear when Gail tells her that she’s staging an intervention.

But Audrey isn’t backing down over Lewis and eventually David lets her out of the salon, leaving Gail frustrated.

Will she ever come round to the fact that Lewis and Audrey are back together?

Meanwhile Coronation Street has hinted at a secret connection between Lewis Archer and Duncan Radfield.

Eagle-eyed fans have noticed there are striking similarities between the two cobbles conmen.

Lewis will make a shock comeback to the cobbles this week as he sends Audrey Roberts a visiting order from prison.

“Actually the reason I’m here is down to you Audrey,” he tells her as she sits down.

“You see soon after we parted I found myself sitting in a hotel room drinking a wonderfully smooth burgundy and I knew I should be celebrating you allowing me to escape.

“I was left thinking I’m free but what’s the point?

“All I can tell you is I’ve changed. You see I no longer want those things. That person is not who I wish to be.

“I know there’s nothing in this world that will make you believe me but I genuinely want to make amends.

“That’s why I handed myself in and admitted to my part in Rosemary’s scam.

“And to prove that I genuinely want to turn over a new leaf, I’ve arranged for £40,000 to be paid into Gail’s bank account.”

Long-time viewers of Corrie know that Lewis swindled Gail out of £40,000 after seducing her and her mother.

He let her think he was going to use to the money for their new home, but disappeared leaving her with nothing.

But intriguingly the sum of £40,000 has surfaced with another conman on the cobbles over recent weeks.

Duncan, the man who is setting Sally Metcalfe up to take the rap for fraud at the council, stole that precise amount too.

Could Duncan have stolen the money from the council to pay the money into Gail’s account?

And has Lewis turned over a new leaf or is he setting up Gail to take the fall for Sally?

But is it too much of a coincidence? Or is there a secret connection between Lewis and Duncan?
