Lancel's evil character Frank Foster finally gets his comeuppance tonight (March 5) as he is found dead at Underworld, sparking a murder mystery on the cobbles.

Speaking on Lorraine this morning, Dynevor praised Lancel for his work on Coronation Street over the past year.

The 48-year-old, who plays Frank's jilted lover Sally Webster, commented: "It's been a great storyline. Frank Foster's been such an amazing character. He's been so dark and sinister, and it's been such fun to do."

Supporting Lancel's 'Villain of the Year' nod, she added: "He's got to win that, because he really is such a great villain. I think he'll definitely win that!"

As announced last week, Lancel has made it onto the 'Villain' longlist with 14 other nominees, including co-stars Kate Ford (Tracy Barlow) and Natalie Gumede (Kirsty Soames).

Meanwhile, Dynevor is in the running for this year's 'Best Actress' prize.

Asked what it would mean to win, she replied: "It'd mean a lot, actually. After 26 years, it'd be a wonderful thing to win. I'd be over the moon."

Coronation Street airs Frank's final episodes tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.

Coronation Street star Andrew Lancel has confirmed that fans won't have long to wait until Frank Foster's killer is unmasked.

The actor's villainous character gets his comeuppance this evening (March 5) as he is found dead at Underworld, sparking a murder mystery.

A number of Weatherfield residents will find themselves under scrutiny as police investigate the crime in the coming weeks, but Lancel today told This Morning that the truth will be revealed to viewers before the month is over.

Lancel commented: "It's [in] a few weeks. I think it's within the month [that we find out]. I'll probably get in trouble, but I think it's soon after his funeral."

Coronation Street bosses have named Carla, Kevin, Michelle, Peter and Sally as the five main suspects in the case. However, Lancel hinted that viewers should not rule out any other character.

"The way it was shot, was it could be anybody else," he explained. "It is wide open and it's a classic Corrie whodunit."

I heard even Frank's mother is a suspect! I'll be glad to see the back of this evil charcater, but would have preferred him to be jailed. Any excuse for a murder it seems!

I too wanted Frank to be found guilty. I wish the powers that be could come up with something other than murder. It's not very original.

Andrew Lancel has revealed that he always knew his Coronation Street character Frank would die.

Evil businessman Frank Foster, who raped ex-fiancé and business partner Carla (Alison King) in a recent controversial storyline, will meet his end at his Underworld factory in tonight's Weatherfield instalments.

Speaking on This Morning, Lancel explained: "I've always known what this guy was going to do and who he was going to do it to so that's been really helpful because it's always been bookended and final.

"But now it's over and this mega storyline will take over. I didn't know the exact details but if you play a character that goes out with Carla Connor you're going to die - that's the way things seem to go so the clue was there from the beginning.

"When you close one storyline another one opens but the last time you see him alive there will be no doubt as to what kind of a man he is like."

Referring to the murder whodunit, the actor teased: "Sally Webster has given her heart and her life to this man and to say she is feeling slighted is an understatement. She's lost everything to him and he's broken her in two.

"Kevin still loves his wife and is finding out what Frank does to Sally so he has more than one reason to kill him.

"With Carla, he's just wiped her out and destroyed her and she's got more reason than anyone to kill him."

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

I really think it was his mother, as she has been on Sally's side rather than Frank's in the last week. Carla and Peter I think are too obvious and they were worse for where anyway.

Yes I think the mother may have heard him threaten Carla again and admit to the rape and did him in

[LizzyBizzy]

My money's on his mother being his killer as well. Thought last night's episoide was a bit like an Agatha Christie novel, with loads of characters looking like they could be the murderer.

It be a let down if the killer was his mother or new girlfriend

I want a shock killer perhaps Sophie
