Lou planted a kiss on Gary last night.
A new Coronation Street fan theory has suggested what might happen next between Gary Windass and Lou Michaelis.
On Monday night (June 16), Lou kissed Gary and later used the moment to blackmail him.
Afterward, Gary returned home, packed his things, and told Maria he was heading to his mum’s for a few days.

Lou kisses Gary in Coronation Street
Last night, Lou reassured Maria Connor that she wasn’t the one who reported her for ABH — it was actually her son Brody who contacted the police.
Later, Lou went over to Sally and Tim’s house and confronted them about involving social services in her family matters.
She firmly told them to stay away from her and her children, Shanice and Joanie, making it clear they had no right to question her parenting again.
Seeking comfort, Lou paid Gary a visit, shared a few drinks with him, and asked if he could speak to Sally and Tim on her behalf.
Gary agreed, but Lou unexpectedly kissed him. Gary immediately pulled back and reminded her that he was married to Maria and couldn’t let anything happen.
Lou then flipped the situation, warning Gary that she’d tell Maria about the kiss unless he did whatever she asked.
Feeling cornered, Gary returned home, packed a bag, and told Maria he’d be away for a few days — right after she asked if something had happened between him and Lou.

Coronation Street fan theory hints at troubling new development for Lou and Gary
With Lou already resorting to blackmail after Gary rejected her kiss, a new fan theory has emerged suggesting she might take things even further by falsely accusing him of sexual assault.
One Coronation Street fan speculated on Reddit:
“Hopefully I’m wrong but…
“Lou makes a move on Gary and he turns her down. Then suddenly she accuses him of sexual assault.
“People are doubtful, but their previous closeness raises suspicions, and she tarnishes his reputation.
“What ends up clearing his name is one of the children telling a resident or social worker that it never happened.
“Eventually, it’s revealed Lou has made similar accusations in the past, which leads to her departure from the Street.”
If true, this would mark a deeply unsettling twist in the plot — but what lies ahead for Gary and Lou?
