Coronation Street's Simon Gregson, who plays Steve McDonald, has revealed the latest twist to the soap's looting storyline. Warning: Spoiler Alert!
Steve and Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) are set to face more personal drama when Steve decides to use winnings from a night out in a casino to pay back the money which Becky stole from Dev and Sunita Alahan's corner shop on the night of the tram crash.
In an interview with Soaplife, Gregson said: "Steve wins £5k (€6k). Lloyd thinks he's going to get the loan back and Becky thinks she's going to go out and buy a new pair of Ugg boots."
However, he revealed that Steve leaves the cash in an envelope with a 'Sorry' note for Dev and Sunita - who quickly come to talk to Steve and Becky about it.
He added: "They say they need to talk with friends and tell them the looter has returned the money and it's clearly someone they know.
"And they discuss calling the police. Becky's manic and Steve's terrified she's going to do a runner."
Asked if Steve would take the blame for his wife's actions, he added: "Well, he knows Becky would go down for a long time if she got caught doing something like that.
"Basically, they're in a bit of a mess."
