Coronation Street’s Leon Ockenden insists kidnapper Will Chatterton’s storyline will reach a ‘dramatic climax’ as he bows out of the soap

CORONATION Street villain Will Chatterton's time on the soap will come to a fitting end, actor Lee Ockenden has promised.

Appearing on today's This Morning to promote his new play How The Other Half Lives, Leon told how he wrapped his scenes on Corrie around a week-and-a-half ago.

He said: "The storyline really builds to a head around the end of September. I think it will be a fitting and dramatic climax for everyone."

Viewers recently saw Will kidnap his former flame Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh), drugging her and stuffing her in the boot of his car bound and gagged.

Michelle wept and screamed until she was rescued by police, who reunited her with her worried boyfriend Robert.

Crying as she chatted to a police woman, she tried to recall the night, saying: "We had a row and then I dropped my friends off in town and I went to a bar. I didn’t go to our local because we know everyone in there. I went to bar 103 in town.

"I just had one drink. I remember feeling like it went straight to my head. I think I remember leaving and then nothing. Nothing until I woke up in the car."

The police officer then asked if she remembered seeing anyone but she struggled to recall anyone but the barman.

Breaking down, she said: "Just Josh one of the bar staff and... oh god I don’t think I have been raped."

Viewers hadn't seen Will since he and Michelle had a night of passion behind Steve McDonald and Will’s wife-to-be Saskia Larson’s backs.

Will called off his wedding, but Saskia told Steve what had gone on, which resulted in him telling the pair of them (Will and Saskia) to leave - and they hadn’t been seen since.
