As Happy Valley fever continues to grip the UK, with fans loving the conclusion of the BBC One drama, viewers are now comparing the ITV soap Coronation Street to the Sally Wainwright show. The comparisons come after a dramatic armed robbery at the Viaduct Bistro on the cobbles.
On Monday's episode, (February 6) of the soap viewers watched as Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) continued to work with known drug dealer Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths). The pair have recently been in business after he agreed to take money from villainous Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) in order to fund the Bistro.
This week the restaurant owner took things one step further after he agreed to house an order of drugs in the back of his kitchen safe, despite being unsure about doing so. Later in the episode, armed robbers targeted the bistro screaming "Where are the drugs?" Nick's young son, Sam, was at the Bistro a little more than a year after his mother, Natasha, was shot dead by drugs gangster Harvey Gaskell.
