Almost a year after 'Coronation Street' villain Tony Gordon ordered Liam Connor's killing, he is set to add two more victims to his death toll. Spoiler Alert!
According to The Sun, murderous Tony decides he must bump off loveable couple Roy and Hayley Cropper after they discover he was behind Liam's death.
The factory boss (Gray O'Brien) threatens to take both their lives after confessing to Roy about his part in the murder on what he thinks is his deathbed in Weatherfield General Hospital.
Roy (David Neilson) finds Tony after he has a heart attack and stays with him in intensive care, where he's not expected to survive the night.
Thinking he's about to die, Tony tells Roy: "There's something I have to say - I killed Liam! I killed him!"
However in an unusual twist of fate, Tony makes an unexpected recovery and Roy orders him to hand himself in to police at once. When Roy threatens to tell the police, Tony warns him he might "have a tragic accident".
Poor Roy makes things worse by confiding in wife Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh), who advises him to go to the police straight away.
Then Tony soon finds out that Hayley knows his secret too in the gripping Christmas plot. A source said: "The storyline will come to a climax in the New Year. The writers thought Roy and Hayley would be ideal to be a big part of the plotline that sees evil Tony finally get his comeuppance."
