There was a new development in Spider Nugent\u2019s (Martin Hancock) storyline in tonight\u2019s Coronation Street<\/a>, as we saw the first hint towards his undercover case.<\/p>\n

Longtime activist Spider arrived back on the cobbles earlier this year, and was soon reunited with ex-girlfriend Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor).<\/p>\n

Recently, the couple got back together, but there was a huge dilemma for Spider when Toyah confessed her guilt over the death of husband Imran \u2013 just as viewers learned Spider was an undercover police officer<\/a>!<\/p>\n

DS Swain (Vicky Myers) instructed Spider to deliver information to incriminate Spider, but ultimately, Spider remained loyal to Toyah. As Toyah was found not guilty in court, Spider pledged to stay by her side.<\/p>\n

But there was a key moment towards the end of tonight\u2019s instalment, when he and Toyah joined fellow activist Griff in the Rovers Return. Spider was uneasy when Toyah agreed to join in with the protests, and in a moment alone with Griff, we saw Spider ask him probing questions as he declared that he wanted to know more about something more extreme that he knew Griff was involved in.<\/p>\n

This was the very first real hint we\u2019ve seen on-screen when it comes to Spider\u2019s undercover case; and although Griff insisted he didn\u2019t know what Spider was talking about, it\u2019s been clear for weeks that Griff is not to be trusted.<\/p>\n

As he\u2019s quizzed on his character\u2019s big storyline, actor Hancock reveals some more teasers for us \u2013 although he\u2019s limited on what he can tell us for now!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got to be careful what I say now, I don\u2019t want to give away a major storyline we\u2019ve got coming up! Spider is still incredibly committed; he believes in the cause. There are those who would perhaps endanger the cause\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rather cryptic clue; but the star\u2019s words do suggest that Spider is fighting to stop those who use an honourable cause for evil gain.<\/p>

\u201cSpider is there fighting for what\u2019s right in the world. He wants to do right, he wants the world to be a better place, and he wants people to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a few issues in the world today which we\u2019re going to address. There\u2019s some quite nasty stuff going on, and we\u2019re going to start dipping into some of that. What he\u2019s doing is going after some really dangerous stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hancock also adds that he knows some may have expected the old Spider to be back. But he explains that the original Spider is still very much present \u2013 he\u2019s just grown up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s one side where you could have been \u2018couldn\u2019t he have just come back and been the same old lovable, huggy\u2026?\u2019 But he is, he\u2019s still all that; but he\u2019s also an adult and he\u2019s got issues to fight, and he\u2019s got things he needs to get done.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s somebody who\u2019s always been an activist, so he will actively seek to change the world for a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll just have to keep watching to find out what Spider will do next!<\/p>\n
