Two to die in Knicker Factory Blaze

[alan45]

TWO Corrie characters will DIE when Tony Gordon burns down knicker factory Underworld during an armed siege.
Deranged murderer Tony takes Hayley Cropper, Carla Connor and Maria Connor hostage in the terrifying storyline.

The drama kicks off as Tony (Gray O'Brien) escapes jail with the help of ex-cellmate Robbie Sloan.

Armed with a gun, a knife and a petrol can, his plan is to kill unfaithful ex-wife Carla (Alison King) and Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) as revenge on her hubby Roy - who helped convict him.

Maria (Samia Smith) becomes another hostage of Tony after stumbling across the scene.

And Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) and Roy Cropper are also drawn into the plot during a rescue attempt.

Tony was jailed for the murder of Carla's lover and Maria's husband Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier).

He had also tried to murder Roy Cropper (David Neilson).

A source said: "Tony's warped mind blames Carla and Hayley's hubby Roy for his downfall and has spent all that time in his cell plotting the perfect murder.

"He figures that the way to hurt Roy the most is to kill Hayley.

"Hayley keeps Roy going and he could barely function without her.

"By the end of it there are armed police and the street is evacuated and sealed off.

"When it is all over, two body bags are carried out."

The source added: "The scenes will leave viewers fearing for the lives of their favourite characters.

"It will be nail-biting stuff."

TV Biz will not reveal the identities of the victims. Instead, viewers will have to wait until June to find out who survives the carnage


Its obvious Tony will be one of them but who else will die

I reckon it will be Maria and Tony, i think. It sounds good though.

I hope its Carla and Maria

We'd know if one of the main characters was leaving Corrie. The other person might be Tony's ex-cellmate, Robbie Sloan.

WEATHERFIELD’S finest will face life on the dole after the Underworld knicker factory is burned down by on-the-run killer Tony Gordon.

Gordon, played by Gray O’Brien, 40, torches it when he is besieged by armed police.


Boss Nick Tilsley (Ben Price, 38), who has no way of keeping it going, tells his workers: “It’s over.


“Underworld is finished. We’re closing for good. Your jobs have gone.”

It means that devastated employees Sean Tully, Julie Carp, Hayley Cropper, Fiz Stape, Sally Webster, Janice Battersby and Teresa Bryant will be pushed to the brink of financial ruin.


The knicker-stitchers accuse Nick of not trying hard enough to keep the business going.


He hits back: “There’s just not much call for wood-smoked knickers in ash grey.”


Evil ex-boss and murderer Gordon is cornered at the factory after doing a bunk from jail. But when all that’s left is rubble, there is nowhere to work.


All Underworld’s clients cancel their orders and the firm is left facing bankruptcy.


Nick adds: “When I was a kid growing up across the road I dreamed that one day I would be just like Mike Baldwin and be running this place.


“Talk about dreams going up in smoke!”


Fans will be left wondering whether this is the final curtain for the Weatherfield landmark or if a knight in shining armour will race to the rescue.


The Underworld factory burned down in 2003 after Janice dropped a lighted cigarette.

I can't believe this is the end of Underworld. What about insurance?

[Perdita]

Will the insurance pay if it was arson and they can't get the money from Tony?

[Dazzle]

I don't know about that, to be honest.
