SEAN Tully was left heartbroken again after his Laurence Reeves left the cobbles.
But as his return to Coronation Street seems imminent, viewers are convinced he shares a link with Pat Phelan.
After a string of failed romances, Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) was certain he had found the one for him – but Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) had his doubts.
The undertaker soon uncovered a dark secret the dentist played by Robert Shaw Cameron had been keeping from Sean and even accused him of murdering his wife Lyndsey.
Laurence was eventually forced to confess to Sean during a recent trip to Weatherfield.
He told Sean he'd had an affair with cabbie Mitch but that he wasn't capable of killing anybody.

Hurt beyond belief by Sean's distrust and despite the machinist's best efforts to fix their relationship, Laurence walked away from both him and the cobbles.
Todd Grimshaw also tried to hold Laurence back but the latter explained he had already given Sean another chance following their kiss.
When Sean sat with his son Dylan (Liam McCheyne), Todd and Eileen, the lad said he wasn't buying Laurence's excuses and was still convinced he had gone due to his murderous past coming to light.
ITV viewers can't help but agree with the youngster but some of them have gone even further in their theories.
