FRANK Foster’s killer will try to murder two more Corrie residents in a dramatic cover-up attempt.

Sounds like the return of John Stape. Is he really dead?

Yet another serial killer. This is becoming a yawnfest. Weatherfield is becoming the Sun Hill of the North. Has Paul Marquess taken over at Corrie

Surely they wouldnt be daft enough to bring someone back from the dead. It would be too unbelievable for any soap to do this

Oh yes, sorry. What was I thinking!?

If a soap were to do this they would be the joke of the industry especially if the Reseurestee was shot by a bunch of flowers

They should film six endings with each killing him to avoid spoilers getting out

Good thinking Tammy

Plus six resurrection story lines. They could bring back John Stape, Tony Gordon, Katy Harris, Richard Hillman, Jez Quigley and Theresa the Turkey.

Coronation Street star Andrew Lancel has admitted that he is glad his evil character Frank Foster will soon be getting his comeuppance.

Frank was last week found not guilty of raping Carla Connor (Alison King) as his dramatic trial reached its conclusion. However, he won't be getting the last laugh as show bosses have confirmed that he will be murdered in March.

Speaking on Daybreak this morning, Lancel reflected on his year-long stint playing the twisted businessman.

Lancel explained: "It's been very dark. But one of the joys of it is I've always known what's going to happen to Frank from day one. They've let me play him as very acceptable and very believable, and that was the point. We didn't want him to be a moustache-twiddling baddie.

"We wanted Frank to be very accessible and normal, and that's perhaps why people have latched onto the story more than usual. It's gone down an absolute storm, it's been great. And people are still talking about the issue of the story.

"Every time I had a story in this show, a door would open. And when I go from the show, the storyline continues. It's great."

He continued: "It's sad to leave the job, but it's not sad to leave Frank. He should get his comeuppance, and I've always known what's going to happen."

Lancel also spoke of his plans to concentrate on singing for a while following his departure from the show.

"The newspapers the other day said that I'm going back to singing, but I've never really gone away from it," he explained. "I've always performed and always done gigs. Last year I did some of my own solo concerts, which I'm doing again this year. I'll be crooning at a place near you soon!"

Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
