Coronation Street fans think that they have worked out Frank’s real identity amid Maria’s trolling ordeal.
Fans think that a twist will take place on the cobbles that will involve newbie Frank and newly elected councillor Maria.
Maria, played by Samia Longchabon, has been on the famous street for over two decades but is currently going through an ordeal she has never been through before.

Having put a request in to make a change to the bin schedule in Weatherfield, sick trolls have targeted the poor mother in the aftermath, including Photoshopping her head onto a naked body.
But Maria’s trolling comes weeks after the introduction of a new character on the cobbles.
Frank entered the soap this month as Sean Tully’s new love interest, and is played by former Brookside star Simon O’Brien.
But Frank has also been revealed as funeral director George Shuttleworth’s old school bully – and was caught humming the teasing song he used to sing around him.
And fans now think it means he could be the one trolling Maria, and have taken to social media to discuss their theories.
“Good shout that Frank has a bad side and it’s going to come out,” one wrote in a Facebook group.
“The only new one is Frank can’t see it being anyone else tbh [to be honest] maybe he’s someone from her past,” added another.
Someone then replied: “There is a Frank from her past, think he tried to rape her or something, he was going out with Carla. He also played DS Manson in the bill, I’m wondering if that’s who the poster means.”
