After turning on scared Simon, Tyler was eventually sent down for his string of offences and was last on screen in September, but the tabloid claims he will be back in Weatherfield in the new year as part of Amy's teen mum plot. Might we also see Tyler's mouthy mum Vicky again, who briefly worked at Underworld earlier in the autumn? Tyler's family will allegedly demand custody of the baby and warn Steve and Tracy they will see them in court.

According to the newspaper, "it is set to turn nasty. Amy's parents are left shattered when Tyler's family get involved and their lawyer tells them they should be prepared for a very messy battle.

"Steve and Tracy have a rough road ahead of them but they'll do everything they can to keep the baby in their family. This storyline touches on massive legal and ethical issues and will show viewers a different side to teen pregnancies."
