I used to like Gary Windass. The old Gary Windass, the one who was insecure, fragile, after his stint in the army. So fragile that he had a breakdown in the flat with Izzy , remember that? So complex a character that he had his own mini online series Gary's Army Diaries.
And now he's turning into Pat Phelan, a man that Gary hated more than life itself.
Let's see, the clues are all there...
The intimidation of a younger person who works for you. Gary is making Seb's life hell just as Phelan made Gary's a misery too.
The hard stares and the anger ...
It's going to be interesting to see if Gary is given the mantle of the new Corrie villain. As I HUGE Gary fan - always have been, hope I always will be - I really hope that he won't turn out as nasty as Phelan, or that he'll be redeemed. Because if Gary is the next villain then there's nowhere for him to go - except stage left and leave. Villains never have a good ending. It's a soap rule that they have to face up to their evil and be punished - preferably by a long, slow, drawn-out demise. Or being chucked off a pier by Eileen.
But Gary as the new Phelan, a new type of Corrie villain? Oh, please no, not my Gazza.
