Coronation Street favourite reveals shock exit plan with a new identity
GRIFF Reynolds terrorised the cobbles by spreading his hateful ideas with the help of Max Turner.
With the ordeal finally over, one Coronation Street resident is contemplating a fresh start with a brand new identity.
Living as an undercover copper in the cobbles becomes a source of deadly trouble for Spider Nugent (portrayed by Martin Hancock).
The fan favourite agreed to follow Griff Reynolds’ every move until he could arrest him.
After grooming a young Max Turner (Paddy Bever), the far-right activist, who first claimed to be an eco-warrior, was carted away.
Coming up on ITV, Spider’s week begins with a meeting with his superintendent who informs him about a new job which would mean moving away with a new identity.
Knowing that it could protect him from far-right activist Griff Reynolds, who is out for blood, could Spider accept the offer?
This remains to be seen yet his relationship with long-time flame Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) will be left in jeopardy by a shocking discovery.
When she finds bank statements showing Spider’s nowhere near as skint as he’s been making out, a paranoid Toyah goes through his laptop, discovering he’s been emailing his ex and searching for houses near her.
Under fire, Spider explains he’s been trying to accelerate his divorce and his savings went on something for her.
Spider produces a ring, dropping to one knee, and asks Toyah to marry him.
Could she say yes despite her troubled history with marriage?
Is Spider hiding another dark secret?
Later on, danger knocks on their door and they get proof Griff isn’t the only villain they need to watch out for when Spider receives a message from his pursuer with instructions to meet.
Without letting on to Toyah, Spider informs his superiors and his colleagues watch covertly as he waits in the Freshco’s car park to meet his unknown enemy – but nobody turns up.
