He says that Frank was always destined for this story and he as an actor was told from the start where he would be heading. Most viewers are aware that Frank tried it on with Maria awhile back but Frank brushed it off as "getting the signals wrong." But we've also seen Frank being controlling and devious at times. Andrew says "It's far from over - it's far, far from over for Frank. He's a very clever man, and he can twist and manipulate people very easily it seems. It'll be interesting for people to see what happens in the days after the attack - the way Frank twists and turns and manipulates. He'll lie and be deceitful, and there'll be blood on the street."
He enjoys playing a darker character. Both he and Alison King did research for the storyline and rehearsed a lot to make sure they'd got it just right. Filming the scenes was tough but rewarding for the actors.
Andrew has long been a fan of Corrie and has really been enjoying working with some of his favourite actors, Chris Gascoyne and Jane Danson but gives Alison a lot of credit for their work. Andrew will be familiar to many viewers from his parts on The Bill, City Central and Hillsborough.
