It was a chilling cliffhanger that left Happy Valley fans reeling at the end of last Sunday's episode of the hit BBC One crime drama. Man on the edge Faisal Bhatti, played by Amit Shah, had been plotting with his neighbour Joanna Hepworth to murder her abusive PE teacher husband Rob.
Joanna, played by former Coronation Street star Mollie Winnard, got pharmacist Faisal on board to help her after lying that Rob knew he had been illegally supplying her with diazepam and was on the warpath. Armed with a loaded syringe, Faisal was fuming when Joanna tried to back out of their plan to kill bullying Rob.
During a furious row Faisal fell back on the kitchen counter at the home Joanna shares with Rob and their two daughters. But there was a shocking moment as he got back up to strike her with a rolling pin, knocking her out.
