Coronation Street favourite, Mike Baldwin, will find himself in the centre of a shocking "whodunnit?" storyline this Autumn when he is stabbed and left for dead outside his flat in Weatherfield.
Baldwin, played by Johnny Briggs, will gather several enemies over the coming months and all of them will be suspects in his attempted murder. It begins when he accidentally runs over and kills Nick Tilsley (Adam Rickett), who runs out onto the cobbles to try and stop his ex-wife Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) from leaving. Nick's younger brother David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) goes off the rails and vows revenge when Mike is released without charge, and the 13 year old subsequently becomes prime suspect in the stabbing.
Other suspects include butcher Fred Elliott (John Savident) who loses yet another lover to rat Baldwin and psycho solictor Maya Sharma (Sasha Behar) who discovers a dodgy deal between factory owner Mike and her ex-lover Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) has left her penniless.
Super bitch Karen McDonald (Suranne Jones) becomes a suspect when she is sacked from Underworld and discovers husband Steve (Simon Gregson) has slept with glamourous Frankie Baldwin (Debra Stephenson). This sparks the beginning of the end for Karen as she flies off the rails after losing her job and husband due to Frankie's meddling, and she promises to exact revenge on the Baldwins in any way possible.
Producers claim the storyline will run for months and the fate of many characters will become apparent as Weatherfield becomes a bloodbath before a shocking climax for Christmas.
Coronation Street has fast become the nations most watched soap, raking in more than 12 million viewers per episode, and that number is set to rise at the show goes from strength to strength this year.
