Coronation Street viewers shocked by character's transformation after just a few weeks away
Did you see it?
Coronation Street fans were stunned after Michelle Connor went to visit her boyfriend Robert Preston in prison and he looked VERY different.
The pub landlady went to visit her lover in prison, but after a just few weeks away from the soap viewers were in for a bit of a shock when Robert, played by Tristan Gemmill, appeared on screen.
WATCH: Robert Preston's best moments on Coronation Street so far:
Robert is generally know for his dark, brooding good looks, including his dark, tousled locks, however in last night's episode he appeared in his prison uniform looking VERY different.
The 50-year-old actor seems to have embraced his natural greying hair, and was seen on the soap sporting a brand new hairstyle - complete with a sophisticated silver colour.
Michelle was overjoyed to see her boyfriend, and the couple even joked about his new look.
The jailbird jokingly asked whether the ladies on the Street would "like his new look," to which Michelle replied, "Well everyone loves a silver fox - but you're mine!"
Fans took to Twitter to share their shock over his brand new look.
Even the official Coronation Street Twitter account had a joke about the new look.
Last week many Coronation Street viewers noticed a gaffe in Wednesday night's episode when Seb fell from a ladder and Anna Windass went to make a 999 call, except she didn't actually dial any numbers. This caused a great deal of debate on social media as to whether she had the emergency services on speed dial or whether it actually a mistake.
And it was only last month that hundreds of eagle-eyed viewers noticed Will Chatterton (played by Leon Ockenden) put a quiche in the microwave complete with the foil. This resulted in a lot of discussion on Twitter as to whether or not it was a microwave or perhaps a combination oven.
In September Coronation Street started showing a sixth weekly episode. The first of the new weekly episodes kicked off in spectacular style with a double wedding of Aidan and Eva, and Jenny and Johnny, in what Corrie bosses described as the 'most sensational stunt-filled weddings the cobbles have ever seen'.
Coronation Street continues with double episodes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
