Coronation Street's Gary Windass in new blackmail threat
Tonight's double bill of Coronation Street saw Gary Windass faced with a new blackmail threat from Rick Neelan's right-hand woman Sharon after she caught him trying to frame Rick for the Underworld roof collapse.
The new villain has recently found himself in the frame for the disaster after arousing the suspicions of his ex-girlfriend Sarah Platt.
With Gary realising that he needed to divert everyone's attention elsewhere, he decided to pin the crime on his murder victim Rick Neelan, who's obviously no longer around to defend himself.
However, after breaking into Rick's home and smearing the loan shark's jacket in anti-vandal paint in the hope it would convince the police that Rick was at the scene of the collapse, Gary was caught by Rick's former debt collector Sharon.
Gary was left with no choice but to admit his crimes to Sharon, telling her that he murdered Rick in self defence, and that he was planning to pin the roof collapse on his victim.
He then offered Sharon £15k to buy her silence, but she soon proved that she'd learned a thing or two from her former boss and told Gary that she'd only keep quiet as long as he keeps paying for Rick's daughter Kelly's school fees.
Although Gary's plan worked, with the police hauling him in for questioning only for DS Beckett to reveal he was free to go after they found Rick's paint-smeared jacket and found a witness to corroborate his story, he's left with a whole different kind of problem now that Sharon knows some of his dark secrets.
Although, maybe there's another problem in store, as Sharon ominously warned Gary that if he stays in the lending game he'll end up like Rick, before taking her leave.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll get it."
Is Gary fast becoming everything Sharon says he would?! 😱
