Viewers set for drama as Coronation Street's Nick to make 'painful' mistake with murderer Harvey

Nick Tilsley is set to make a 'painful' mistake on Coronation Street with murderer Harvey Gaskell.

Harvey - played by Strictly Come Dancing star Will Mellor - has been in contact with Nick's son Sam, who has been trying to get answers on why Harvey killed his mum Natasha Blakeman. Whilst it was a case of mistaken identity, and Harvey had actually wanted to kill Nick's partner Leanne, he murdered his ex Natasha who was wearing the same costume.

Now, actor Ben Price has revealed that Nick will take some money from Harvey - and there could be painful and difficult consequences for all as a result of his decision.

"Harvey drops a piece of paper, knowing somehow that Nick’s having trouble with buying the bistro, and it’s basically bank details so he can borrow the money," Ben explained to Metro.

"I think Nick naively imagines that one, Harvey will never get out of prison and two, he genuinely feels bad about what happened to Sam and is giving him the money. Nick half believes that and the other half just goes look I need this, I need something for Sam, I’ll work it out later. I think he feels like his child needs to be left with some legacy because he wasn’t."

Nick is concerned what might happen if Leanne finds out, as he keeps it a secret from his family for the time being.

Ben added: "Nick is Nick he will try and get away with it until it’s too painful and he’ll have to tell her. But he thinks he can easily get away with this, he also thinks he can easily pay it back. Harvey’s not going to be able to force the situation from prison."

Nick and Leanne originally stopped Sam from writing letters to Harvey but after a change of heart, they decided to agree and take Sam to the prison to see Harvey and get his answers once and for all.

Meanwhile, aside from his role on Coronation Street, Will Mellor is busy busting the dance moves on Strictly Come Dancing. Blackpool's special weekend airs in a few days. He has garnered a legion of fans since joining the show and he will be dancing a Samba to 'I Go To Rio' by Hugh Jackman with his professional dance partner Nancy Xu.
