Coronation Street fans thrilled as Will Mellor appears as drug lord Harvey

Coronation Street fans were thrilled to see Will Mellor finally appear on the cobbles as evil drug lord Harvey.

It was announced that Will would be joining the cast earlier this year and tonight saw his first scene as he interrogated Simon.

Harvey appeared in the garden as Simon was waiting for Jacob, who had been stealing some drugs from the dealer.

Harvey said: "Did Jacob not talk about me I'm Harvey, I've just took him for a little drive, dropped him off at the hospital after.

"I don't know you Simon, so I'm going to give you a chance.

"If you knew what Jacob's been doing now is the time you tell me, right now."

Simon looked terrified and told him that he hadn't been stealing from him, but Harvey made him empty his pockets to double check.

Harvey told Simon he'd earned himself a promotion and would now be selling the drugs.

And viewers were thrilled to see Will Mellor play the new baddie in town.

Mel said: "Great seeing Will Mellor in # Corrie tonight i think his character is going to be really interesting and rival Jacob's."
