CORONATION STREET villain Frank Bardsley may have been dumped by Sean Tully last month, but with a history of bullying, could the newcomer go one step further and kill his ex’s new love interest? A theory explored by Express.co.uk explains why.
Several months ago, Frank (played by Simon O’Brien) debuted on Coronation Street as Sean’s brand-new boyfriend (Antony Cotton). Before Frank started to reveal his true colors, the pair appeared to be a couple made in heaven. Not only did Frank yell at Sean’s son Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) when he returned to the ITV soap, but he also used to yell at George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) at school. Prior scenes showed viewers Sean dumping Frank for verbally abusing Dylan after Dylan’s football game. Fortunately for Dylan, Sean saw the entire incident and broke up their brief affair without hesitation.
You’re a gay man, and you’re pushing my son to grow up and urging him to harm other children rather than acting the victim, right? Sean lost it.
“After everything that individuals like you and I have experienced?”
Frank responded, “Oh, cry me a river,” and continued, “We know better than most how tough it is out there. I’m not swaddling him in cotton wool; rather, I’m preparing him for the real world.”
Sean responded: “I overheard you telling him that you would be embarrassed of him if he were your kid.
Frank attempted to retract his statement, but Sean would have none of it.
Frank responded, “Let’s put this behind us, I’m hungry,” but Sean snapped, “Are you kidding me?”
Dylan argued, “Dad, it’s okay,” to Sean’s response, “No, it’s not okay.
“I have had to listen to this for years and years. Do you really believe I’ll stand by and watch while it happens right outside your door?
Sean responded, “Who?” Frank replied, “You’re as evil as he was.”
Sean interrupted Frank’s explanation that he meant George by saying, “Frank, disappear.”
You’re done with me, he said before adding, “I’ll vanish once I have my sneakers and that moisturizer you keep stealing.” Later, Dylan and George made an effort to comfort Sean after his separation. Sean has had bad luck with women, but there is still hope for him, according to official soap opera spoilers. In scenes that will show the following week at No. 11, Eileen (Sue Cleaver) surmises that Sean (Robert Shaw Cameron), the gorgeous dentist he met at the Glenda Shuttleworth-supervised wake, is longing for newcomer Laurence (Jodie Prenger). Glenda makes a promise to track him down on Sean’s behalf after that. George is impressed by his sister’s sass while Eileen seems slightly offended. George is shocked to see Laurence loitering outside the funeral home.
, at which point he starts working on a scheme to get Sean a date.
Glenda is overjoyed, and Dylan believes he cannot possibly be worse than Frank.
Sean tells Eileen, Mary, and Glenda that by swearing off men, he is putting Dylan first while Laurence waits in the café.
Sean and Laurence get along great over drinks in the café, and Dylan instructs his father to meet Laurence.
Could Frank return in an effort to exact revenge on Sean if a new romance materializes?
Although Frank is already known to be a bully by viewers, what if his jealousy becomes too much for him?
