Coronation Street confirms Gary Windass hospital fate

After Lou’s blackmail, Gary packed his bags and told Maria that he was off to stay at his mum’s for a few nights. However, with Gary not even returning home for Liam’s birthday, his family are concerned.

They have no idea that he’s lying in a coma in hospital, with these scenes airing tomorrow. This episode will be first available from 7am on ITVX.

Maria then decides to report Gary as a missing person to Kit Green as she finds out there’s an unidentified coma patient, fearing it’s him.

Gary’s attacker goes to deep lengths to cover up their crime, even changing his name and claiming to be his next of kin.

With Kit telling Maria that the person in the coma isn’t Gary, the investigation continues as Gary’s condition worsens.

Scenes will then reveal what led to Gary’s attack and who was involved…

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon teases what’s to come for Maria and Gary

Speaking about what’s to come as Maria finds out that Gary’s been attacked, Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon teased: “Maria and Gary are going through a bit of a rough patch at the minute and initially she’s upset that he’s left but doesn’t think too much into it. As soon as Gary misses Liam’s birthday, she has a gut feeling that something isn’t right and fears something awful might have happened to him.

“Maria’s mind is spiralling, but she doesn’t stop for a second to think who actually attacked Gary, she’s aware he has a lot of enemies from over the years who could have potentially wanted to take revenge on him.”

But, who attacked Gary? And, what was the reason behind it?
