If you've been wondering why Lewis the escort has been giving Deirdre the glad eye on Coronation Street, it's because he's setting out to rob the bookies. The Daily Star has this Coronation Street spoiler today and it's a good 'un. The paper says that after giving up his escort work to be with Audrey, Lewis is a bit skint. So he hatches a plot to get his hands on some cash and heads to the bookies to rob it. He slips a fake betting slip into the pile while flirting with Deirdre. Ooh, the cad! And when he asks her to check his bet she’s delighted to tell him he’s made £300 on the horses. Ooh, the blaggard and bounder!
Is Lewis Corrie's first gentleman villain? I can't think of another Raffles-type character from Corrie's past, can anyone else?
