Coronation Street fans predict Seb will die as he fights for his life in hospital

Coronation Street fans are concerned that Seb Franklin is going to die after he was attacked in Wednesday night's episode.

Seb took a brutal beating from Corey and his nasty pals as he and his girlfriend Nina Lucas were the victims of a disgusting hate crime.

Wednesday's second episode of the ITV soap saw Seb and Lucas fighting for their lives in hospital, as they hopeful relatives sat by their bedsides.

Abi broke down in tears as she rushed to the hospital from her hen party, and suddenly realised just how serious Seb's condition was.

As she was comforted by her husband-to-be Kevin, Seb's breathing machine suddenly began beeping as Abi went into a panic.

Kevin quickly called in the nurses and doctors and the couple were ushered out of the room.

Coronation Street Executive Producer Iain MacLeod recently revealed that there will be devastating year-long ramifications of the attack on Seb and Nina.

Iain has confirmed that the story will pull in a number of residents, with "neighbour pit against neighbour" and draw in conflicts about class.

Speaking about the storyline, Iain told the Mirror and other news outlets: "It will run and run and run, this story. It's one of those things where a really shocking inciting incident triggers months and months of story repeating under cast at the centre of it. And everything that I've seen is just knockout.

“It draws in a lot of different families and in the best tradition of Coronation Street storylining, it pits neighbour against neighbour and in some cases, husband against spouse and all of those interesting areas of conflict. It becomes partly about class as well, going forwards.

"I can't say too much about that but in terms of how the criminal investigation unfolds, it becomes about class and background and privilege and there are interesting elements to it that we draw into the story as it unfolds," he added.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
