'Misery' for Norris

Hold on to your 'muu muu', things are about to get scary for Norris. In a plot straight out of Stephen King's Misery, The Mirror reports that Mary Taylor is going to kidnap and imprison the love of her life. Lured to a remote cottage in Bronte country, Norris will be terrified when Mary sabotages the car and phone and then gets violent when he tries to go for help.

A Corrie source said: “Mary convinces herself they are reincarnations of Heathcliffe and Cathy and keeps trying to share his bed. Norris escapes to a phone box. When Mary arrives he tries to run and hide but falls and sprains his ankle. Mary refuses to take him to hospital and returns him to the cottage telling him: 'The more helpless you are the stronger I get.'”

Things get really hairy when Norris spots her in the yard with an axe and he has to barricade himself in. The Corrie source added: “At first viewers will be amused by Norris’s plight. But they’ll soon realise that Mary is seriously demented.”
