'Coronation Street' star Gray O'Brien has said that he is expecting heckles after his character Tony Gordon murders heartthrob Liam Connor.
The actor was speaking at a press conference ahead of "murder week" on the soap, when five episodes will be screened, each detailing happenings over a 24-hour period.
Speaking about filming the scenes, O'Brien said: "It was hard work. Very draining."
"It was a long shoot - we normally do 10 days, we shot it in 19. So there was a lot of night shoots."
Referring to his character, he said: "I knew he was going to have villainous traits. But it was certainly up to the audience's reaction as to how far he was going to go."
"It's great fun, it's a role that's always eluded me. It's interesting that people seem to forget that I used to play nicer guys in the past. I'm sure there'll be plenty of heckles after next week."
Speaking about the aftermath of the murder, O'Brien said: "I think he (Tony) has already (shown remorse). It's the end of the game if he gets caught. I think he will try his best to cover his tracks."
Three alternative endings have been filmed for the upcoming storyline, with the actual ending set to remain a secret until it is aired.
