ITV Coronation Street fans predict nasty Frank twist as George struggles over bullying hell

Coronation Street fans are predicting a nasty twist in George Shuttleworth's storyline with newcomer Frank Bardsley. The character, played by Simon O'Brien, made his first Weatherfield appearance at the end of last month when he made his way into the Rovers Return where he got chatting to Sean Tully.

He started to talk to to the barman and Underworld machinist, played by Antony Cotton, About his experiences in the online dating world as he waited for his next date to show up for a drink. Frank joked about swiping the wrong way on his apps meaning he keeps meeting men that he really isn't really interested in.

Not one to miss out on a bit of drama, Sean agreed to help Frank cut his latest date short by pretending to be a disgruntled love interest. But despite putting on his best dramatics, the date wasn't having any of it so Sean commented that Frank had a strange rash 'down there' which soon saw his date scupper.
