Happy families: Charlie Condou, left, who plays Marcus Dent, returns to Coronation Street in scenes filmed today in London's Primrose Hill
He's been sadly missed since he left the cobbles - and these shots show the heartwarming return of Coronation Street's Marcus Dent playing happy families with his former boyfriend Sean Tully.
The scenes were filmed today in Primrose Hill, North London.
As previously reported, the pair will become the soap's first ever gay parents after 35-year-old Antony - who plays Corrie's Sean Tully - bumps into ex Marcus Dent, played by Charlie Condou.

The pair will then rekindle their relationship and decide to bring up Sean's long lost son Dylan.
A source on the show said: 'There's a chance older viewers will be shocked by the storyline, so we will handle things very sensitively.'
Sean became father to his friend Violet Wilson's baby after he donated his sperm, and hospital worker Marcus was Violet's midwife.

But Violet said she didn't want Sean to have an active role in Dylan's life and caused Sean heartbreak when she moved with their son to London.
In the scenes which were shot yesterday in the capital, Sean is seen going to visit Violet and little Dylan, who's now three - where he then bumps into Marcus.
In some shots, Antony is seen with a huge teddy bear ready to give the boy - and in other joyful shots, seen swinging the young lad down the street.

Charlie, 38, joined the soap in September 2007, but left a year later in August 2008 when his character split with Sean.
Since then, he has become a father in real life with his Canadian partner of six years, Dr Cameron Laux.
They have a beautiful 18-month-old daughter, Georgia Mae.
Charlie's return to Coronation Street meanwhile will be screened over Easter.
