Coronation Street fans are wondering if Ray Crosby is dead, and if Debbie Webster might have killed him following tense scenes last week - with Debbie hinting she murdered the villain.
He was exposed for his crimes including bribery, and the attempted rape of Faye Windass.
But in horrifying scenes on Friday, he turned dangerous again when he drugged Abi Franklin as she got close to getting evidence against him.
He appeared to try and kill her to silence her, drugging her and leaving her fighting for her life.
But Debbie came across the duo and his shocking plan, with Ray telling her to let Abi die.
Instead she called an ambulance - but as Abi was taken away there was no sign of Ray.
On Monday, Debbie made the shocking hint that she'd murdered her ex, when Abi asked if she'd hit him over the head with a wine bottle - not even being serious.
What she wasn't expecting though was a tearful Debbie to admit she wasn't far off the truth.
She hinted she did attack him in a huge cliffhanger, replying: "No... it wasn't a bottle."
So has Debbie killed the villain, and what happened after Debbie left the scene of the crime?
Spoilers for this week have confirmed Ray is a no-show, with his whereabouts not confirmed at all.
She reveals she "did what she had to in order to stop Ray" - but what does this mean, and has she stopped him for good?
Viewers will have to stay tuned to find out the fate of Ray, with Debbie clearly hiding something.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
