Coronation Street star Mikey North teases ‘soap exit’ as Gary Windass

Over on Coronation Street at the moment, Gary Windass is lying in a coma after being mysteriously attacked by someone.

It’s unclear what happened to him or who was responsible, but Gary’s fate is still up in the air.

Speaking on This Morning yesterday (Wednesday, July 9), Mikey North teased Gary’s fate.

Despite reportedly signing another year long contract to stay on the soap, Mikey joked that Gary’s time might almost be up seeing as anyone who gets paired with Maria doesn’t seem to have the best of luck.

Reflecting on Maria being the ‘black widow’ of the cobbles, Mikey joked: “I think I’m about five or six years and counting, so I’ve probably got about six months left. Or, maybe a few hours left, you never know.” Let’s hope a joke was all it was!
