Andrew Lancel plays Frank Foster, the new Underworld buyer who made aggressive advances to Maria. There's an interview with him in the Sun and the actor is hoping his character will go down in Corrie history as one of the memorable villains, like Alan Bradley or Richard Hillman. He's ambitious, I'll say that for him!
He says Frank is going to continue to pressurise Maria into keeping her mouth shut by threatening her with a lawsuit for saying he tried to rape her. He understands he went too far but thinks Maria's overreacted. Andrew says "Don't mess with Frank." and he's looking forward to our reaction.
Me, I'm waiting for Chris to find out how this guy roughed up his girlfriend. Frank could just get a little taste of his own medicine!
