Corrie fans want another character to be caught as Corey's escape begins

Coronation Street fans will be watching closely this week as Corey Brent plots his escape.

The killer footballer thought he had got away with murder after a not guilty verdict following a trial earlier this year.

But his time is set to be up after new evidence emerged that could finally pin Corey to Seb Franklin's murder.

It has already been revealed that Maximus Evans, who has played Corey since 2019, is leaving the ITV soap after two years.

How he leaves, however, has been left tightly under wraps.

Last week, viewers saw Asha Alahan spot Stu wearing a Weatherfield County backpack.

When he revealed he found it in the river, Asha is sure it is Corey’s from the night of the attack and chases him.

As he gets away, Asha tells Nina what she saw and was determined to track down Stu, aware that this could be their only chance to prove Corey guilty once and for all.

When they did find him, Stu wasn't too willing to help them.

But after Nina explains to Stu how Corey's backpack could prove he killed Seb, he relents and manages to trick Corey into handing over some cash for getting his bag back.

When Corey gets his rucksack out of the bin, he finds his blood-stained clothes are missing.

Back on the street, Stu returns to the corner shop where he hands over a plastic bag containing Corey's clothes from the night of the attack.

An emotional Nina thanks Stu and he disappeared, wanting nothing more to do with it.

After handing over the new evidence at the police station, Nina and Asha head home waiting for news while Corey has to tell his dad Stefan that his clothes were missing.

Viewers then watch as Corey pretty much confesses to killing Seb before his dad marches over to his fancy car and declares they needs to find the clothes before the police did.

The scenes left Corrie fans hopeful that Corey will get his comeuppance.

But they also wanted another character punished for their involvement.

"I hope the dad is arrested with him too for bribing witnesses and perverting the course of justice," one soap viewer commented.

Another said: "Not only should Corey pay but his father too for obstruction of justice!"

"Jail Corey’s dad as well #Corrie @itvcorrie," a third added.

A fourth tweeted: "Corey's going down and his stupid dad's going down with him #Corrie."
