Coronation Street fans have two possible theories as to what has really happened to Gary Windass as it becomes clear he is missing. The reformed bady boy, played by Mikey North, was earlier this month seen leaving his wife Maria to stay with his mum after tensions continued between the married pair. As viewers of the ITV soap saw, it came after Maria was arrested for Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) having got into a scuffle with Lou Michaelis during a gathering hosted by Shona and David Platt at No.8 Coronation Street. Things got out of hand when Maria thought she had caught Lou stealing the takings from Audrey’s salon, which were given to Shona to take to the bank. After confronting Lou, viewers saw Maria and Lou get into a tussle, before cutting away to show the other residents hearing a crash, before heading inside and finding Lou on the floor, with blood on her arms having fallen on David’s new coffee table. Maria was quick to deny pushing her, but Lou wasn’t having any of it. Shoan confirmed the money was still in her bag, and hadn’t been stolen, and it was Gary who offered to take Lou to the hospital, where she had a few stitches. Later, Maria was visited by two officers, who wanted to take her in for questioning on suspicion of ABH. It was then at the start of this week that things got worse for Maria as she faced pushing Gary away, while he was seen supporting Lou in what he thought was her hour of need. Later, Maria accused Gary of having an affair with Lou, which he denied, despite her lunging in for a kiss during their last meeting. All the while, a smug Lou looked on gleefully at the message she’d sent from Gary’s phone to her own, reading: “I want you. When can I see you again?” as she tried to blackmail. After leaving for his mum’s, Gary has not been in touch since, leading stepson Liam Connor to worry about him as seen during Wednesday’s (June 25) Corrie. Maria tried to quash her son’s concerns that she and Gary had split and he was gone for good, but it’s clear the hairdresser is just as worried about her husband’s whereabouts. Fans are now convinced that Gary is missing because he was involved in an unexpected attack, witnessed by Nina Lucas and Summer Spellman while on an LSD trip, having taken the h allucinogen But they have a couple of theories as to who could have carried out an attack on Gary, with it already revealed he ends up being seen unconscious in the hospital next week. @Alitheredwitch said: “Did Lauren wack Gary thinking it was Joel & Summer & Nina saw it & run off #corrie.” @eternitydropped commented: “Lauren hallucinated Joel in the same place that Nina and Summer retraced their steps. Lauren is injured. Lauren thought Gary was Joel and attacked him before Aadi found her in the factory. Calling it now! #Corrie.” @mikepriestley13 wrote: “I think summer and Nina have hit gary with a car or something whilst off their head on drugs.. it fits that Gary has just gone missing all of a sudden and they have said left them for dead? #Corrie @itvcorrie.” @jjtrvlr shared: “They saw Gary Windass probably beaten, bruised and half dead. Not exactly sure who would have done it, but I would be guessing that someone associated with Mick. Otherwise, why would Gary be unreachable? Think about it!” @RyanSoapKing25 added: “I wonder if Gary has been attacked by one of Mick’s heavies and Nina and Summer witnessed it #Corrie.”
