Spoiler:

Coronation Street's evil businessman Frank Foster will be killed off in a forthcoming plot twist, a report has claimed.

Cast and crew at the Weatherfield soap will soon start filming scenes which see the twisted villain die as his dark storyline reaches its conclusion, according to The Mirror.

It is thought that police launch a murder investigation following Frank's (Andrew Lancel) death, meaning that one character may have resorted to desperate measures to get rid of him.

Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) will reportedly be among the suspects as the shock death rocks the cobbles. He comes under suspicion and is arrested because his ex-wife Sally (Sally Dynevor) was targeted by the rapist before his passing.

Although plot details are unconfirmed by Coronation Street bosses, a spokesperson told the newspaper that Frank's storyline 'had to run to its conclusion'.

Defending the soap's balance of dramatic and lighter storylines, the representative added: "Coronation Street's fantastic mix of drama, comedy and romance will continue into 2012."

Frank, who joined Weatherfield in January, raped ex-fiancée Carla Connor (Alison King) earlier this year. Maria Connor (Samia Smith) was also attacked by him, but she managed to escape his clutches.

I quite like this, Corrie past...3 murders have been by psychopaths, it will be good to see a revenge one for once xD

[Kerry]

As long as a big character doesn't get sent down for it :/

Kev apparently gets arrested, though not sure he did it

Can't see him going out of Corrie anytime soon though so doubtful he'll go to prison

[Scarlett.]

I can't see it being Sally or Carla either

No

I can't see another courtroom/prison storyline anytime soon. Maybe it'll be a hitman

[Scarlett.]

Maybe it's Toneh!

[Kerry]

Nooooooooo

[Jords]

Wow this should be good!!

My first thought were that his mother could be the one who kills him.

There was a scene earlier where he was pretty rough with her (verbally) and I've also thought their relationship was rather odd, like he bullies/manipulates her all the time.

Visage, you beat me to it That's what I was thinking too. She might confront him about raping Carla, has already expressed an element of doubt once.

Should be good.

There is definitely something odd about their relationship. Maybe when he targets Sally, she will try to stop him and it will go too far where she kills him.

I can't see a regular character killing him, unless they are to exit the show at some point, and this be their exit story.

Hmm... Rosie is leaving the show.......

Ha ha! I'm going to stick with his mother for now.

[Scarlett.]

Maybe he is killed in self defence? No one would need to leave then
