Strictly’s Shayne Ward makes return to soaps 6 years after Coronation Street exit

As a long-time fan who has followed Shayne Ward’s career since his X Factor days and his memorable stint on Coronation Street, I must say it feels like a blast from the past to see him returning to the world of soaps! The news that he’ll be appearing on Doctors, a show I used to watch religiously during my lunch breaks at work, is simply thrilling.

At present, Shayne Ward finds himself quite occupied. Apart from competing in the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing, he’s also planning a comeback to the soap opera scene.

Originally crowned the winner of “The X Factor,” this individual left the set of “Coronation Street” six years ago, following the heartbreaking demise of his character Aidan Connor under unfortunate circumstances. Now, he’s secured another acting opportunity on a competing soap opera.

In the coming episodes of “Doctors,” a long-running program on BBC One’s daytime schedule that is about to conclude its 24-year broadcast, Ward will make an appearance.

In the “Shock Therapy” episode’s cast list, it’s mentioned that Ward will be acting alongside Sophie Austin, his real-life fiancée, who previously starred on Hollyoaks. They are set to portray characters named Kenny Webb and Sandra Horner respectively.

Further specifics concerning the characters remain undisclosed at this time. Here’s a brief summary of the upcoming episode: “Luca shares the ups and downs of being employed by the NHS with his friend, as Holly persists in convincing Scarlett to participate in her live stream.

It continues: “Zara reveals the shocking truth about a patient’s recent behavioural changes.”

The episode will air next week, on Thursday 3rd October 2024.

At present, Ward is teamed up with dancer Nancy Xu during this season of Strictly. Their initial Samba performance to Stevie Wonder’s “Do I Do” last week earned them a somewhat modest 21 points, placing him tenth in the rankings on the leaderboard.

Currently, the doctors are preparing for the home stretch of their upcoming episodes, following last year’s announcement that the series would be coming to an end in December.
