Soap watchers reacted with amazement as a drug deal at the Coronation Street bistro went off with a bang. Nerves were already shot to pieces from the finale of crime drama Happy Valley on Sunday night, and viewers felt they were put through the wringer again as gun violence broke out in the bistro run by Nick Tilsley and partner Leanne Battersby.
Corrie fans are aware that villain Damon Hay has been forcing Nick to use his restaurant as a front for his drug dealing business. In Monday night's episode (February 6) Nick called Damon and confirmed that drugs had been delivered.
Then there was high-octane drama as two masked men entered the bistro with Nick's young son Sam Blakeman inside. Pointing a gun at Nick's employee Ryan Connor, they demanded that he handed over the drugs.
