Ray Crosby (Mark Frost) is seemingly set to pay for his sins in Coronation Street, after he was hauled into the back of a van by a group of gangsters. Ray has antagonised just about every resident on the eponymous street. From his vile and inappropriate behaviour, to the redevelopment project that threatens to destroy not only the street but all the mainstays’ homes, he’s made an enemy of just about everyone. However, it would appear as if someone decided enough was enough and therefore retaliated in a big way. As the hotelier walked through the street in tonight’s hour-long instalment (January 15), he was left in shock, as a white van pulled up beside him.


Before he knew what was happened, a gang of thugs exited the vehicle and were seemingly about to grabbed him and throw him into the van! Just what fate lies ahead for Ray? Will he be murdered at the hands of these masked men? If so, just who is it that set such a thing in motion?

Gray Windass (Mikey North) warned Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) in the scene just prior to this one that Ray would get his comeuppance — could this be what he was referring to? Has he perhaps decided to get revenge on Ray on behalf of Faye?
