Coronation Street set for brutal showdown as TWO villains return
BROTHERS Damon Hay and Harvey Gaskell come to blows as they return to rock Weatherfield.
A reunion looked like it could be on the cards for estranged husband and wife Adam (Sam Robertson) and Sarah (Tina O’Brien) last night.
But when Damon (Ciaran Griffiths) walks back into Sarah’s life tonight, determined to take his revenge on Adam and win back the love of his life, things change dramatically.
Kidnap, blackmail and double dealing all come into play as Sarah has a big decision to make which could impact on her family’s future not just her own.
Will she stick with solicitor husband Adam or be tempted once more into a further dangerous liaison with Damon?
And when Harvey (Will Mellor) starts calling the shots from his prison cell will Damon return to the dark side or will it be Adam who’s forced to cross the line?
One thing is for sure the brothers mean business and they’re back for what they want.
Teasing what’s to come for his character Damon and his brother Harvey on the ITV soap, Ciaran said: “There are some big, long scenes between them and I proper really enjoyed doing them with Will.
“It felt like something different, like those scenes really have a journey. They’re intense. Will’s a great actor, I like how in the zone he is with the character before you even go for a take, it makes you sharpen up and both get on it.”
He added the dynamic is “intense, they don’t like each other. They’ve got different dads and I think Damon was always pushed to the bottom of the pile a bit growing up, always the one getting a clip round the ear.
“I think they’re both holding onto a lot of resentment, they don’t like each other at all, even though they’re half brothers.”
He continued: “Because they know each other so well they both think they can outwit each other.
“And because Damon’s outside, whereas Harvey’s inside, at first he thinks he’s got one up on him but he soon realises that it doesn’t really matter where Harvey is he can still pull strings.
“It doesn’t matter whether he’s locked up or not, Harvey can still get to people, especially the people that Damon cares about the most.”
Coronation Street continues tonight at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
