The iconic serial killer, Richard Hillman, makes a shocking comeback to Coronation Street, leaving viewers in suspense. His reappearance coincides with Gail Platt's exit storyline, raising questions about his motives and the potential danger he poses to Weatherfield.
Coronation Street 's infamous character Richard Hillman has made a surprising comeback to the soap, spelling trouble for one resident. The notorious serial killer Richard, portrayed by Brian Capron, first appeared on the cobbles in 2001, quickly causing a stir and instilling fear throughout Weatherfield. Often labelled as the most despised soap character and greatest villain of all time, Richard was infamous for his killing spree on the cobbles.
During his reign of terror, he claimed the lives of several residents. He murdered his ex-wife Patricia Hillman and Maxine Peacock, before confessing his crimes to Gail Platt. He then plotted to kill the entire Platt family: Gail, David and Sarah. In a chilling scene from 2003, Richard bound the Platts in a car, filled it with gas, and drove them into a canal. However, he was the only one who met a watery demise. Now, 21 years after his departure from the soap, Richard has made a shocking return this week, coinciding with Gail's exit storyline. In Tuesday's episode, Gail woke up on her sofa to find a man rummaging through her drawers. Initially, she assumed it was her fiance Jesse - but she was mistaken. The man remarked: 'I see you've changed the carpet in here.' A frightened Gail asked: 'Who are you? What do you want? ' Then, in an unexpected turn of events, the enigmatic man spun around to reveal his identity as Richard. With a smile, he uttered: 'Hello Gail' leaving his ex-wife utterly astonished. Although it's suspected that Gail is merely hallucinating Richard, viewers are fiercely speculating that he is indeed alive. Furthermore, they are adamant that he's poised to commit another murder and it doesn't bode well for Gail. Comments have been pouring in on a Corrie Facebook fan page; one user exclaimed: 'No way...Richard Hillman
