CORRIE has revealed the first look at Ray Crosby and Debbie Webster’s horrifying plans for the cobbles.
The nefarious property developer, played by actor Mark Frost in the ITV soap, has grand plans to roll in the bulldozers and level the street to add a HUGE hotel complex.
Viewers know that Ray is on a mission to buy up the properties one by one, and has already got control of the Bistro, the garage buildings, David’s house and even Gary’s factory.
This week’s episodes of Coronation Street will Craig stumble on the plans for the redevelopment of the street.
After offers of a free meal at the bistro for him and Faye to stay quiet appear to fail, Ray turns nasty and threatens to ruin things for the two if Craig spills the beans.
But Craig won’t stop there and later asks Sally if there are any local development plans.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk about his character Ray’s evil plan, actor Mark Frost said: “I think he does see himself an empire builder, so he is looking to purchase property and get his business to grow exponentially.
“I think what’s going to come as a surprise is just what means he’s willing to go to — what lengths he’s willing to go to — to get his plans put his plans in place, and the odds that’s going to put him at with the rest of the Weatherfield community.”
Talking about why his character wants to destroy the cobbles, Mark added: “He’s got no familial links. He sees people and communities as pawns. I think to a certain extent there is that breed of property developer, who in order to get plans drawn up and disband communities, they can’t surely look at people as individuals and human beings.
