Corrie’s Gary Windass is having a very dramatic week on the cobbles.
He’s right in the thick of the Phelan story and intent on exposing the evil murderer’s crimes. Tonight we’ll see him and Seb trying to find the gun that killed Luke in the concrete at the mill building site.
Now Mikey North, who plays the determined dad, has revealed what the future holds for Gary.
And the good news is, it looks like he’s staying!
Mikey has been on Corrie for 10 years (where does the time go, eh?!) and says he’s enjoyed the recent storyline most of all.
“When I first came I think I said I would do three years and that would be it,” he told the Daily Mirror. “But as long as you are getting storylines, why would you want to go anywhere else?”

And he added: “It has taken me this long to be really happy with my place in the show, I am involved in the biggest storylines and I love who I am working with, so I would be happy if they want to keep me here for a bit longer.”
Good news for us – and for Gary, who’s initially blamed for Phelan’s crimes when the bodies are found on the building site.

Gary and Seb are arrested and taken to the police station where Gary desperately tries to find out if the police searching the site have discovered the gun.
And he’s shocked when the officers reveal they’ve actually found two dead bodies. Confused Gary is arrested again – this time for murder!
But as he frantically tries to convince the police that he’s not the guilty party, the real murderer – evil Pat Phelan of course – is trying to make a getaway.
With Mikey revealing that he’s happy to stay put on Corrie for now, we’re hoping that htis means Gary will be off the hook when the true murderer is revealed.
We couldn’t bear for another Windass to be banged up unfairly! After all, Gary’s mum, Anna, is still behind bars after she was jailed for pushing Seb off a ladder (which, of course, was all set-up by Phelan, too).
With Nicola Rubinstein pregnant with Gary’s baby, and Gary enjoying a romance with Sarah Platt, it looks like there are lots of exciting storylines coming Mikey’s way.
And we’re very pleased about it!
