Who plays Duncan Radfield on Coronation Street? All you need to know about actor Nicholas Gleaves
Sally's trial begins - and conniving Duncan takes the stand tonight
The trial of Sally Metcalfe commences on Coronation Street tonight and duplicitous Duncan Radfield is the first to take the stand. As can be seen by this new clip released by the ITV soap, the suave con artist wastes little time in painting himself as an innocent victim, who fell in love with Sally and was coerced into defrauding the council. But how will a beleaguered Sally cope with the lies being told about her?
Speaking recently, actress Sally Dynevor hinted that Duncan's testimony just might sway the jury. When asked what Sally's Christmas was going to be like, the Corrie star said to Inside Soap:
"I don't think she's going to have a happy Christmas. She thinks she'll be at home, and it just breaks my heart to think that she might not be at home on Christmas Day. Prison food!"
