There’s a huge mystery in upcoming Coronation Street episodes. Why did Gary Windass (Mikey North) end up in a coma in hospital after apparently vanishing into thin air? And why does the woman who’s with him insist his name is Chesney?
And does Gary’s current predicament have anything to do with the night of Aadi (Adam Hussain)’s party, when Nina (Mollie Gallagher) and Summer (Harriet Bibby) became convinced they’d seen a dead body?
Maria (Samia Longchambon) has been going frantic with worry, not having heard from Gary since he headed off wanting to put some space between them after a series of arguments. The arguments were mainly about Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty).
Maria was furious that Gary seemed to be spending so much time with the woman whose husband killed Craig Tinker (Colson Smith). She didn’t trust Lou’s motives and thought she was exploiting Gary’s kindness. And the more Maria objected to Gary seeing Lou, the more he pushed back.
Since he left Maria has hardly heard from him, and when he doesn’t get in touch on Liam (Charlie Wrenshall)’s birthday she’s convinced something bad has happened to him. She reports him as a missing person.
Nina overhears Maria saying that there haven’t been any transactions on Gary’s bank account since June 23 – which was the night of the party. She tells Summer what she’s learned and worries that it was Gary they saw that night when they were high on drugs. Summer reminds her that there were no reports of an assault and when they went back to look there was no trace of Gary or anyone else.
Then we see Gary, unconscious in hospital. A nurse assures his visitor that ‘Chesney’ is making progress.
And when DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) contacts the hospital about the unidentified coma patient who’s been admitted, a staff member says that the person on their ward is called Chesney.
