Coronation Street’s Maria Connor wonders what’s happened to Gary Windass in a new spoiler preview for the ITV soap, as she demands his whereabouts in an angry voicemail

Gary Windass sparks concern on Coronation Street next week according to a new spoiler clip.

In the preview, his wife Maria Connor is annoyed at him after his recent abrupt exit away from the Street. He’s been staying with his mum Anna Windass amid a rocky time with Maria over her feud with Lou Michaelis.

Of course viewers know that Gary learned the hard way that it was Lou causing trouble, as a recent episode showed him being blackmailed. After she allowed Maria to worry there was something going on between them, getting closer to him, her real intentions were exposed.

New spoilers have revealed Gary has been staying with his mother Anna in the fallout, while Maria doesn’t know about the kiss and the threats. So when Gary doesn’t come home when he’s meant to, Maria is frustrated.

With them still not on the best terms, she ends up trying to contact him about his decision to delay his return. His stepson Liam Connor can’t hide his worry after failing to get in contact with him, and he asks his mum if she knows anything.

This annoys Maria further as it’s messing Liam around, but where is Gary and why is he not heading straight home? In the preview clip, Maria is shown and heard leaving Gary a message.

She pleads with him, telling him that it’s fine if he’s decided to extend his visit or has other plans but to make sure he lets her know so they don’t wonder what’s happened. Calling him out, she says: “It’s not on. Call me back when you get this.”

Liam then asks if she’s heard from him but reassures him: “I’m sure he’ll be back soon.” Liam panics saying: “I thought you said he’d be home last night?”

Maria reassures him again saying: “Yeah I know, maybe he’s just like got his days mixed up or he’s missed his train. You know what he’s like.” As she looks away from Liam she can’t hider her own confusion and concern.

Meanwhile spoilers for later in the week reveal that Gary does eventually make contact, telling Maria his whereabouts. According to the message he sends her he’s decided to stay with a mate but will be home soon.

Whether there’s more to Gary being AWOL remains to be seen, while it’s also not been revealed if Maria will find out about Lou.
