Coronation Street spoilers finds that there hasn’t been an excitement like this for an episode on Christmas Day for a long time. And, for good reason. It promises to be one of the most dramatic episodes in recent memory as a gun-wielding Derek Milligan (Craig Els) in on a rampage against Gary Windass (Mikey North).
Bosses have confirmed that at least one star will be leaving the soap as they meet their end because of the actions of the loan shark and Derek. It is sure to be a Christmas that the residents of Weatherfield will never forget, but who are the most likely characters that could be gunned down by a half-cut Derek?
Coronation Street Spoilers: Maria Connor
It has already been confirmed that Gary will survive the massacre, but could Derek choose to take the life of the woman that is closest to the loan shark? If he does, the Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) will be at the front of that cue. Maria is carrying Gary’s baby, and the two have gone official over the past couple of weeks.
Gary has big plans for Maria, and they have already been looking at apartments together. The trailer for the Christmas episode shows Maria running towards Gary before Derek takes aim at her. But, does he pull the trigger?
Coronation Street Spoilers: Izzy Armstrong
Bosses at Coronation Street have teased that there could be a big swerve in the storyline, and that could see Izzy (Cherylee Houston) become a prime target for Derek. Izzy and Derek hit it off when he first moved to the street, and they even went on a couple of dates. However, their blossoming romance was brought to a screeching halt by Gary, who told Derek to stay away from the mother of his kid.
Izzy has emerged as a shock favourite to meet her end in the episode due to her ties with both characters. She could look to try and act as a peacemaker, only to get caught in the middle of the cross-fire.
Coronation Street Spoilers: Derek Milligan
The man with an axe to grind will likely be leaving the street after this episode, but will he be killed? That would be the most likely scenario as armed police are to take action against Derek to bring his tirade to an end. Derek has been a brilliant addition to Coronation Street and will be at the centre of one of the most iconic Christmas episodes in recent memory. He will be a leading contender to leave the show after dying, but will it be the police or Gary that catch up to him first? We will have to see when the dramatic episode airs on Wednesday.
