Coronation Street staged the world’s first ever socially distanced stunt last night as Gary was run over when he pushed Sarah away from an oncoming car.
She was running away from him as she attempted to call the police after he admitted to killing Rick in the woods.
Gary was apparently lifeless as the closing credits rolled, but he does survive.
What happens next for Gary in Coronation Street?
