Coronation Street fans predict grim exit for evil Ross as his manipulation takes a shocking turn
Are Ross's days numbered?
Coronation Street fans are convinced that villain Ross is set to meet a grisly end after spotting a hidden clue in today’s ITVX episode.
Tyrone’s long-lost dad has been manipulating him ever since he arrived on the cobbles early this year. Ty’s mum, Cassie, even tried to warn the family that Ross was bad news before she left.
Until now, Ross has managed to gaslight his son, believing he should be more ‘macho’ and the ‘man of the house’.
But is that all about to change?
Ross continues to belittle Tyrone
This week Ross has been trying to ‘bond’ with his grandson, Dorin. But instead of taking him to soft play or out for ice cream, he decides he needs to toughen up and takes him boxing.
Tyrone isn’t convinced, and sure enough, neither Tyrone nor Dorin enjoy it.
However, Ross hasn’t taken no for an answer, and he bought boxing gloves for them to spar at home. However, things took a nasty turn yesterday when Ross took boxing too seriously and left Tyrone scared.
Today’s episode sees Ross still going on about boxing, but he is fuming when Fiz admits the girls have had a go with the gloves.
He makes no secret of the fact he thinks boxing is a man’s sport, and leaves Tyrone feeling silly to entertain the idea that his daughter could box.
Fiz points out that it is good for girls to know how to stand up for themselves, just like men. But Ross won’t hear of it.
Ruby wants to go boxing
Later, during dinner, Ruby asks if she can start boxing lessons.
Ross belittles her enthusiasm, and when Tyrone, taking his dad’s lead, tells his daughters that he wouldn’t want them to get hurt, Hope tells him he’s being sexist.
Put in his place, Tyrone agrees and tells Ruby she can take up the sport. But at the same time, he can feel his dad’s disapproving glare on him.
Coronation Street: Ross turns nasty
Later in the pub, Ross ‘jokes’ that there is too much estrogen flying around in Tyrone’s house.
Ty keeps quiet and nurses his pint. However, he is hurt when his dad coldly tells him he wouldn’t want Ruby to turn out like her mum.
But while Tyrone secretly struggles with his dad’s strong opinions, fans think today’s episode is a sign of things to come.
Viewers are convinced that Ross will meet a messy end, and that it could be down to Ruby and her boxing gloves…
“I can’t stand Ross. I think Ruby might end up bumping him off,” predicted one fan. While another agreed: “Yes, let’s hope Ruby and her boxing gloves put him in his place!”
Another fan added: “I hope Hope pushes him down the stairs. Either way, this isn’t going to end well.”
“Bad Hope to the rescue!” a final viewer joked. “Either her or Ruby will sort Ross out!”
