Coronation Street bomb blast drama as Griff's evil plot is 'exposed' ahead of Christmas episodes

There were worrying scenes on Coronation Street on Wednesday as teenager Max Turner was caught up in a dramatic explosion.

The scenes left viewers convinced they had solved racist Griff's evil plan, as he is set to target a winter market in upcoming scenes.

Viewers fear he will set off a bomb near the Town Hall amid his sick campaigns against the Muslim community, after he recently hinted he had something big planned.

After continuing to push his racist agenda, he and his extremist group have changed tactics after failing to get the council and street residents on side.

Griff is clashing with councillor Maria Connor, but he's secretly had help and funding by her colleague Len Cameron.

While his vile accusations and lies have been believed by some, Griff's failure to get everyone on side has led to him wanting to carrying on his campaign.

The latest episode saw teen Max, who has been brainwashed and groomed by Griff, caught in the crossfire in an explosion.

The horror moment happened as Griff was driving him and another member of the group to a mystery location, while Spider was in another car with the others in the group.

They all made note of the fact they had no idea where they were going and for what reason, but that Griff had something planned.

Suddenly something in the car Max and Griff were in exploded in the boot and the back, leaving Max unconscious.

Griff remained coy over what had caused the blast, and when Max was rushed to hospital he lied it was gas canisters.

But as Max regained consciousness, suffering from burns and concussion, he told Griff it wasn't that at all as he had seen something dodgy in the boot.

Griff immediately shut this down and threatened him to stay silent, Spider too, making it clear there was more to it.

Undercover officer Spider was soon telling a colleague that Griff had made a bomb, and that it was this explosive that caught alight.

So it seems this could be what Griff had planned for the market - but can he be stopped?

Viewers watching the scenes were stunned to see the lengths Griff had gone to, as others questioned what could happen next.

One viewer tweeted: "Can't believe he got a bomb."

Another fan agreed: "I wonder where Griff and his gang are thinking of letting off the bomb? Initially I thought they'd want to bomb Speed Daal rather then just graffiti it."

A third fan added: "I thought the Christmas market, but now I'm not so sure," as another predicted: "Car bomb at the Christmas Market then."
