Coronation Street is going all gritty for a showdown between sworn enemies David Platt and Callum Logan.
The two men have been at each other’s throats since Callum (Sean Ward), the ex of David’s (Jack P Shepherd) wife Kylie and father of her son Max, arrived on the cobbles intent on causing trouble.
With Kylie missing and Callum deciding he wants to be a part of his son’s life to wind up David, things have been escalating between the pair for a while – but it comes to a head after David hatches a plan to plant drugs in Callum’s car. Only his scheme backfires.
The ITV soap has filmed a violent encounter between the pair after Callum kidnaps David and takes him to a warehouse.
Speaking behind the scenes, Sean said: “Welcome to Callum’s warehouse. Things are getting serious. We’re on location and it kind of feels like we’re filming Reservoir Dogs.”
He explained: “He’s bundled [David] into the back of a boot, driven him over many speed bumps at fast pace, we’ve arrived into this warehouse and things are going to get a bit serious. It’s time for David to know that Callum’s not messing about.”
Jack joked: “There’s a shot where David’s chained to a sort of plate and Callum’s got a laser – I don’t know where they’ve got it from, some film – and he’s got this cat and he’s stroking it. It’s a good ep, you should watch it.”
The actors said the episode would mark the scariest part to their characters’ feud yet, with Sean warning: “Callum’s always been on the border of nice and bad, but this is it. This is Callum’s bad side.”
Jack added, “It’s the big climax to a huge feud between David and Callum,” and Sean agreed, “It’s going to go right off.”
