And viewers were treated to a legendary soap villain making an appearance in the new episode.
Actor Kris Mochrie played dad Adam Michaels in the feature-length programme – years after his Dales debut.
The telly favourite has also had roles in Bulletproof, The Bill, Coronation Street and Waterloo Road,
Kris made his first appearance in the Dales back in April 2019 when he met Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) at a night club.
Everything seemed very innocent at first, but things took a turn when he raped the chef in her bedroom after their night out.
Kris’ alter-ego ended up dead when Victoria’s older brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) found out what he had done and whacked him over the head with a shovel, which put him into a coma.
He was last seen on our screens back in October 2019 after he died from an intra-cerebral haemorrhage.
Before Lee died, Victoria found out that she was expecting her first child and gave birth to Harry in January 2020.
Robert is currently serving 14 years in prison for GBH with intent, but it was recently revealed that he might not have been the only person to blame for his death.
Lee’s brother Luke (Max Parker) – who got into a relationship with Victoria after his death – was hiding his true sexuality from his friends and family.
He decided to tell Lee the truth, which ended in the pair having a fight and hitting his head hours before his incident with Robert.
Off-screen Kris is engaged to his on-screen brother Luke.
