On the long-running ITV soap, he exploited his own daughter Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) to help Griff’s (Michael Condron) extremist gang.
He has now revealed that his character will appear on Coronation Street once again in a social media announcement.
The actor took to X – formerly known on Twitter – as he gushed about his upcoming return to the soap.
He posted a snap of an opened envelope from the commercial network which had his name and address emblazoned on it.
The contents included what looked like a script with a list of credits on the front as his name was emblazoned in a confidential watermark.
A welcome back was also included in the snap as one sheet of paper had the words, ‘Welcome to Coronation Street’.
His social media post read: “Bad boy Reece is back.”
Fans flocked to the post with excitement as one wrote: “Welcome back “”Home”” Scott…with so many spoilers these says i don’t know why they still print CONFIDENTIAL on the front of scripts…. ???”
“Yesss woah I’m happy to see this now. Welcome back Reece excited now,” excitedly stated a second user.
A third sarcastically joked: “Ah! Welcome back! Great to see a friendly face on the telly again!”
While someone else added: “Exciting times.”
This comes almost a year after his first return to the cobbles when Lauren disappeared.
ITV viewers saw Max Turner (Paddy Beaver), visit the caged criminal in prison.
Reece’s on-screen return comes as Max asked him for help in tracing his missing daughter.
