How did viewers react to the twist?
Viewers soon took to Twitter to register their shock at the blackmailer’s apparent identity.
One shouted: “OMG it was @juliehes who was the blackmailer….. #ThePact #cocktail2.”
Another said: “Can’t believe Nancy was blackmailing.”
A third – who referred to Nancy as Julie Hesmondhalgh’s character in Coronation Street – said: “Ohhh good twist. What’s that all about Hayley??!!”
Are we sure that it's Nancy who is the blackmailer? I think next episode will see us going around the corner and seeing her husband there too. If she is the blackmailer then I reckon he is the master mind. #ThePact
