Last night’s Coronation Street (Monday, September 12, 2022) dropped a huge bombshell – Spider is an undercover cop!
In shocking scenes, Spider was met by a detective who told him to not interfere with Toyah‘s case.
It was then revealed that Spider was working on another case, as an undercover cop.
However, fans have been quick to take to social media, expressing their views on the ‘unbelievable storyline.’
Coronation Street: Spider’s secret
Yesterday’s episode of Corrie, saw Spider tell Toyah that his marriage was over.
He wanted to be with Toyah, telling her that he’s in love with her.
The couple then kissed on the balcony after deciding to keep their relationship a secret until after Toyah’s trial.
Bad move!
Saira had spotted them and rushed to the police to inform them of the couple’s relationship.
Despite a lack of evidence, she reckoned that Toyah had been having an affair behind Imran‘s back, killing him to get him out of the way.
When she told the detective that Toyah was seeing someone called Spider, the detective’s face changed.
Later on, the same detective could be seen meeting Spider on Coronation Street, telling him to stay out of Toyah’s case or she’d report him.
Spider then revealed that he was an undercover cop, working on another case.
Despite Spider vowing to protect his new partner, the detective demanded that he give her intel on Toyah.
Will Spider go behind Toyah’s back?
Fans think the storyline is out of character
After the reveal, fans have expressed concerns that the storyline is not true to character.
Spider wouldn’t work as a cop after protesting so strongly against the system.
Or is that exactly what he wanted us to think?
One fan commented: “Ok Corrie, Spider’s an undercover cop, that’s it, I’ve had enough, I’m out.”
Another wrote: “I’m sorry, I know it’s a soap but Spider being an undercover detective is the most ridiculous storyline yet!”
