TWO Corrie characters will DIE when Tony Gordon burns down knicker factory Underworld during an armed siege.

Deranged murderer Tony takes Hayley Cropper, Carla Connor and Maria Connor hostage in the terrifying storyline.

The drama kicks off as Tony (Gray O'Brien) escapes jail with the help of ex-cellmate Robbie Sloan.

Armed with a gun, a knife and a petrol can, his plan is to kill unfaithful ex-wife Carla (Alison King) and Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) as revenge on her hubby Roy - who helped convict him.

Maria (Samia Smith) becomes another hostage of Tony after stumbling across the scene.

And Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) and Roy Cropper are also drawn into the plot during a rescue attempt.

Tony was jailed for the murder of Carla's lover and Maria's husband Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier).

He had also tried to murder Roy Cropper (David Neilson).

A source said: "Tony's warped mind blames Carla and Hayley's hubby Roy for his downfall and has spent all that time in his cell plotting the perfect murder.

"He figures that the way to hurt Roy the most is to kill Hayley.

"Hayley keeps Roy going and he could barely function without her.

"By the end of it there are armed police and the street is evacuated and sealed off.

"When it is all over, two body bags are carried out."

The source added: "The scenes will leave viewers fearing for the lives of their favourite characters.

"It will be nail-biting stuff."

TV Biz will not reveal the identities of the victims. Instead, viewers will have to wait until June to find out who survives the carnage.

OMG. Lol. Will be Maria and Carla.

[bbfan1991]

Just as long as it isn't Carla if it is then I will be.

I will be delighted if it is Maria.

[Scarlett.]

Really? I think Tony and Becky for some reason :P

[Iceman]

tony and......?

[MrGaryy]

there's no WAY Becky is going anywhere. Tony will definitely die. I'd say maybe Carla or Maria seeing as they both have babies in real life and Maria's character is very worn out.

This sounds great though!

[Smithy]

OMFG, I think Tony and Roy, I hope Roy coz he pisses me off (sorry )

[bbfan1991]

I would say Maria because she was rumoured to be axed and killing Maria would be probably Tony's warped idea once she rejects his final plea of being a family again now she knows how evil he is as a way of getting voer his grief of killing Liam then he does himself in.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, Tony and Maria sounds probable, this is the first thing we have heard about her return, so...looks like she will be killed off ;-;

[Smithy]

I don't think Maria, they wouldn't have brought her back off of maternity leave if they were going to kill Her. Plus they wouldn't have an orphan Child on the street

Katherine Kelly has recently said that her adoption storyline will be a slow burner and could last up to a year, So i doubt her.

Roy and Hayley may be getting married for the 50th anniversary, so it probs wont be either of them.

And I like Carla and Don't want her to leave

Maybe it's just Tony and his Cronie

Maybe, but I think Tony will take someone with him, someone proper

[Smithy]

UMG Gutted

Maybe he can take Mary with him

[MrGaryy]

oh good point, it could be his cronie I guess. I also totally forgot Maria going would leave a orphan baby. Then again maybe that could tie in with Roy and Hayley's wedding, if they perhaps were to take the baby seeing as they're both so parent like but can't have kids.

[bbfan1991]

Theres plenty to do with Carla so i'm sure it won't be her hopefully.

I'm just gutted he doesn't set fire to the shop and kills Molly she's unbareable

[MissKittyFantastico]

Tony and Maria are a goner I reckon!

[Scarlett.]

I just saw this bit

Why would he need a gun and a knife I have quite a funny image in my head now

OOhh armed police, this should be very exciting

If he runs out of bullets, then he will have the knife :P

[bbfan1991]

This will get high ratings with the hype and advertising as dramatic storylines= more interest from viewers.

Maybe Becky and Steve will get her Baby if she dies :O

[Kerry]

Tony will surely go as theres nowhere else to go with him. Dunno who else. possibly Maria as she's not a regular anymore

[Jords]

Think Tony and -

Spoiler:

maybe it all goes down in the factory and she unknownlingly stumbles onto it like trying to get something from her desk or something?

[Scarlett.]

Okay, I'm sure it will be Tony and Maria, Maria's return hasnt been mentioned at all, and this storyline is like a month away

Best storyline since Mad Maya
