Coronation Street has hinted that Robert Preston could be a shock new suspect in the Underworld roof disaster.
Show bosses have announced that tragedy will strike at the factory later this month, as the roof falls in and causes the death of one character.
One of the local residents will be responsible for the incident, with fans currently suspecting everyone from Nick Tilsley to Gary Windass. Even local teen Seb Franklin has been pinpointed as a possible culprit.
Adding a new layer of intrigue, it's now been revealed that Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill) will fall out with factory boss Carla Connor just days before the roof collapse.
Coronation Street's official website has confirmed that Robert becomes angered with Carla (Alison King) when he suspects her of stirring up trouble for his relationship with Michelle.
Confronting Carla outside the factory, Robert raises his suspicions and gives her a warning to watch out.

Is this a hint that he'll take revenge on Carla with deadly consequences? Only time will tell...
Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod previously teased the Underworld stunt by telling us: "It will at first appear to be an accident, but will then be revealed to be a mystery and it'll have been some kind of criminal enterprise that causes it all to fall down.
"Somebody will be dying in said collapse. I'm not going to tell you who that is or who pulls the factory roof down! It's going to collapse. The roof will fall in.
"It plays out over four or five months. The resolution of a whodunit is so fundamental to the enjoyment of a viewer, so we want to keep that under wraps."
Coronation Street airs Robert's threats on Wednesday, March 13 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
