Faye Windass (played by Ellie Leach) has been sitting on the fence about her grandfather Geoff Metcalfe’s (Ian Bartholomew) behaviour, refusing to believe he could physically and mentally abuse his wife Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King).

And to satisfy our curiosity, Corrie producer Ian MacLeod confirmed that he will indeed meet his downfall this year.
But at the hands of who, we are yet to find out.
He previously said: “What form that comeuppance takes is still in discussion.
