A Coronation Street actor has hinted at impending trouble for Gary Windass in future episodes.

New spoilers suggest peril for Gary as he seems to vanish, causing worry amongst his family. Earlier this week, after backing Lou Michaelis in the wake of her husband Mick Michaelis’ arrest for the murder of police officer Craig Tinker, Gary finally saw her true nature.

On Friday evening, Gary’s wife, Maria Connor, who has been suspicious of Lou, discovered her eyeing the salon’s cash at the Platt family’s residence during their summer barbeque.

Even though Lou chose not to take the money, Maria jumped to conclusions and a tussle broke out, resulting in Lou tripping and crashing through David Platt’s cherished glass coffee table.

After the incident, Gary escorted Lou to hospital, where they exchanged a tense glance, while Maria was mistakenly arrested for Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) after Lou alleged her son, Brody, reported her to the police, reports Belfast Live.

On Monday evening, Lou visited Gary’s home to express her gratitude, where they shared a drink alone while Maria was away. After learning Gary’s passcode to memory, Lou took the chance to send herself a damning text from his phone while he was in the loo.

Later, Lou attempted to kiss Gary who rejected her advances before she threatened him, warning him to comply with her demands or she will spill the beans to Maria.

However, Gary challenged Lou to tell Maria as nothing had transpired and later he announced to his family that he was departing the cobbles to spend some time with his mum.

Maria grew suspicious and directly questioned whether he had been unfaithful with Lou, to which he denied, while a self-satisfied Lou looked over the text she sent from Gary’s phone, which stated: “I want you. When can I see you again?”.

Gary’s exit from the cobbles on Monday night seems to be part of a bigger storyline. Upcoming spoilers reveal that Liam shares his concerns with Maria about Gary not picking up his calls, as he should have returned from his mum’s by now, prompting Maria to hide her own worries for Liam’s sake.

This storyline twist follows Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd hinting at trouble ahead for Gary. Speaking to Digital Spy, the actor who plays David Platt said: “[Mick’s] still in it and he’s still doing naughty, bad things. I’m kind of involved in that, in a way.

“And then something happens with Gary. Something bad happens with Gary. I’m kind of involved in that.”
