Reports indicate that Rovers barmaid Bev Unwin is set to exit the Street, when she commits suicide.

But she might be just the first of Coronation Street's characters to face the chop, as an 'atmosphere of fear' sweeps the set.

Reports in this morning's Daily Star indicate that Tommy Harris and his wife might also be on the way out, as part of a 'secret storyline'.

But it seems that Bev, played by Susie Blake, will not survive for long.

'It seems certain that Bev will be killed off,' an insider told the tabloid.

'She's been through a lot with the loss of a husband and one of her daughters,' he said.

The insider added that 'she has been humiliated with her pursuit of Charlie . . . soon she'll decide she has nothing to live for.'

Mechanic Tommy and Angela Harris are also under threat in a 'top secret plotline' to rival that of Richard Hillman.

'It's impossible to penetrate the secrecy surrounding the cull, but a clue to the family's fate could well come from the past.'

The couple, played by Thomas Craig and Kathryn Hunt, arrived on the Street as part of a witness protection scheme.
