Earlier this year Coronation Street fans said goodbye to Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, as she headed for some much needed time away and had a brief move to Thailand.
It was unclear when the soap favourite would be coming back after Gail suffered a heart attack and decided she wanted some R&R overseas.
Despite being far away, it seems she was still very much clued-up with the goings on back home, and when the news of Norris Cole’s death got to Gail, she returned home.
She came back in time for his funeral as viewers were happy to see her return – even if it was in such sad circumstances – but they were quick to spot something unusual.

Gail and Audrey were reminiscing about Norris as they looked through pictures of him after Gail returned downstairs after placing a towel on her head.
She came downstairs with a white shirt, purple jumper and a purple head towel on her very dry hair.
Fans were baffled as Gail debuted the look, with many jumping on Twitter to question why she was wearing a towel on her head when her hair wasn’t wet.
Taking to Twitter, one user wrote: “Why’s Gail got a towel on dry hair?”

Another said: “Why has Gail got a towel round her head when her hair is bone dry?”
A third wrote: “What we need to know is why Gail has a towel on with dry hair?”
It came as Audrey pulled out her scissors to give her daughter a haircut while they reminisced and reunited after months apart.
Audrey shared a memory with her daughter as she said: “Looking through those photos has really took me back. It makes me want to wonder down to The Rovers, go into the bar and see Betty doing a word search with a face on, buy a round of drinks for you, Blanch, Deirdre and Emily.”
Gail then recalled that it was sad to be back for such an upsetting reason, but she was happy to be reunited with her mum once again.
Norris’ funeral will air Friday evening, and it seems that he will drop one final gossip bomb as his friends gather to celebrate his life.
The late fan-favourite will wreak havoc on The Cobbles as he reveals that Rita has been secretly having her hair coloured by Claudia, leaving Audrey fuming because of her betrayal.
Will it end in tears or will the friends be able to sort it out?
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
