It's been nearly a year since Coronation Street baddie Tony Gordon murdered love rival Liam Connor... so surely it must be time for him to kill again?
The twisted factory boss will threaten to kill couple Roy and Hayley Cropper after they find out he was behind Liam's death in a hit-and-run accident.
Actors Gray O'Brien, who plays Tony, and David Neilson (Roy) were spotted filming dramatic scenes by Manchester's Canal late last night.

Roy is bat-spotting at the canal when he spots Tony lurking in the shadows.
Unbeknownst to naive Roy, a disturbed Tony is carrying a blood-stained knife hidden behind his back.

Viewers will have to wait till November to find out if the blood belongs to Roy, another person or perhaps even Tony himself.

After successfully hiding the planned death of Liam - who was having an affair with Tony's now-wife Carla (Alison King), the murderous businessman is finding it increasingly difficult to live with his shocking secret.
His estranged wife Carla - who knows Tony killed Liam - is set to return to the cobbles in November after the actress completes her maternity leave.

The stress of his wife being back, especially now he is in a romantic relationship with Liam's widow Maria Connor (Samia Smith) will prompt Tony's increasing erratic behaviour.
Tony ends up suffering a heart attack and, falsely believing he is about to die, attempts to clear his conscience by confessing his part in Liam's death to Roy in hospital.

But after pulling through, a distraught Tony realises that Roy and his wife Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) both know and could implicate him in the death.
A determined Roy tells Tony to hand himself into police, but is taken aback when the factory boss refuses and warns the cafe owner he may have a 'tragic accident' himself.

Scenes filmed last night suggest Tony may turn violent on Roy - or another unseen character - after he is seen brandishing the bloody knife.

Scottish actor Gray is taking time out from the soap in November to star in pantomime, before returning for a brief sojourn in March, before finally bowing out of the show.

ROY Cropper gets a soaking in the second part of Tony Gordon's mission to kill him.

Yesterday TV Biz showed photos of the twisted Corrie killer (Gray O'Brien) lunging at harmless Roy (David Neilson) with a bread knife.

The evil factory boss is determined to get rid of Roy after confessing to him that he had killed Liam Connor.

Roy tries to fight off Tony, but falls in the canal. He starts to sink and screams for help - but will anyone rescue him or will he become another of Tony's victims?

Tony Gordon looks like he will have blood on his hands again as Roy comes a Cropper.

The dithering café boss is on Tony’s hit-list after the factory boss confessed to killing Liam Connor.


And, as our pictures show, Roy becomes Tony’s next target when he takes an evening stroll.


Ever since his shock confession, Tony has been hounded by Roy (David Neilson, 60) to turn himself in to the police.


The businessman knows that the only way to silence Roy is to send him to an early grave.


First Tony threatens him, warning: “Either you forget what you know, Roy, and we all move on in one piece – or you’ll be the next to have a tragic accident.”


But Roy remains determined to get Tony (Gray O’Brien, 41) to confess.


So Tony follows him to the canal side and even apologises about having to kill him before stabbing Roy and leaving him for dead.


The scenes were filmed this week but fans will have to wait until November to see if Roy can survive.

Roy Cropper desperately tries to free himself from the clutches of killer Tony Gordon.

As we revealed yesterday, the businessman carries out a night-time attack on Roy (David Neilson, 60) by the canal.

Tony (Gray O’Brien, 41) pulls Roy into the water and stabs him after confessing to the café boss that he is a murderer.

I think Eccles the super dog will save the day when he takes Blanche for a walk and they witness Tony stabbing Roy.

I just couldn't imagine the street without the croppers

I think Eccles the super dog will save the day when he takes Blanche for a walk and they witness Tony stabbing Roy.

Eccles can't swim, she had to be rescued in a net last time she fell into the canal And Blanche has not taken her out for quite a while, but I guess Ken is no longer allowed anywhere near the canal in case a certain lady on a barge has come back

Martha will return to see Ken. As she sails up the weatherfield Canal she spots Roy and Rescues him
