Coronation Street star Maximus Evans has spoken out on the reaction to his big reveal - and may have teased that there's more to come.
The actor is best known to viewers for playing Corey Brent in the ITV soap.
Fans haven't got many nice things - if any - to say about the character after it was revealed he was solely responsible for the death of Seb Franklin,
Back in May, Corrie viewers watched in horror as Seb and girlfriend Nina Lucas were viciously chased and attacked by a gang led by Corey.

Seb, played by Harry Visinoni, later died in hospital as a result of his injuries, leaving Nina and mum Abi heartbroken.
Accomplice Kelly Neelan was soon arrested and charged with murder while Corey was only recently put behind bars after verbally assaulting Nina outside Roy's cafe.
The pair will now stand trial, in episodes to air on Wednesday and Friday, and Kelly's innocence will rest on Nina after she remembered everything from that awful night.
Viewers got to see exactly what happened as the cast, including departed actor Harry, filmed what wasn't shown the first time round back in May and aired as flashback episodes on Monday.
Nina confirmed it was Corey that she saw kicking Seb until he was unable to move before he ran away leaving Kelly behind.
Writing on Twitter on Wednesday, Corey actor Max tweeted: "Thank you all so much for your kind comments regarding Monday’s episode.
"I’m forever grateful. The cast & crew worked extremely hard to bring the story to life and it certainly paid off."
He then teased: "The plot thickens!!!"
Max was once again inundated with praise for his performance.
"You've been fantastic throughout this harrowing story. It's a huge role to undertake and you've committed to it brilliantly," one viewer said.
Another replied: "You're so evil as Corey. Such a wonderful actor making us all hate you!"
"You played one heck of a part!! Brilliant acting. #hated," a third added.
A fourth said: "You're an incredible actor!"
And Max's co-star has revealed what the 'terrifying' actor is really like after he was revealed as Seb's murderer.
Millie Gibson, who plays Kelly, has spoken about her fellow soap actor, even admitting she was 'secretly terrified' during filming.
