 Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) is playing with fire after taking on a job from her ex-boyfriend Henry Newton. The pair had an on-off relationship through 2017 and 2018 which saw Henry pursue Gemma as part of a cruel bet, eventually realising he had true feelings for her when it was too late. He left the soap in 2018, but following her recent babysitting scandal and the loss of her job, Gemma took an offer to work for the brewery businessman. Now, the Newton & Ridley brewery heir is returning to Coronation Street – leaving Gemma's new husband Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) speechless. Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) is pinning all her hopes on Henry buying The Rovers Return and saving the pub's future as they suffer financial difficulties – but will the business be his priority? As we prepare for Henry's return, many may need a refresher on who he is and who plays him. Here's what you need to know. Who is Henry Newton in Coronation Street? Henry is the son of Philip Newton (Malcolm Scates) and the grandson of former Newton & Ridley director Cecil Newton (Kenneth Alan Taylor and George Baker). Henry entered the soap in 2017 (Picture: ITV) He is also the ex-boyfriend of Gemma, who first caught his attention when he entered the soap in 2017 at a house party. Daunted by Henry, Gemma pretended her name was Jemima and that she was a nurse. In a Cinderella twist, Gemma fled the party after believing the police had arrived to arrest her for stealing an ornament, leaving her shoe behind with Henry seeking his princess in Weatherfield after the fact. After going to The Kabin in search of his mystery woman, Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) realised who Henry was searching for and directed him to The Rovers where he finally found Gemma, asking her to meet up in the future. Their relationship ran smoothly until 2018 when he expressed his distaste for weddings when the couple attended the nuptials of Chesney and Sinead Tinker (Kati){kind=link}
