Mark Conlan

Mark Conlan was a loutish thug who went to Weatherfield Comprehensive. Coming home from school one day, Sarah Louise Platt, Todd Grimshaw and Candice Stowe (who described Mark as a “psycho”) saw that he had David Platt pinned up against the wall of Barlow’s Bookies intent on doing him harm. They intervened and Mark shouted out that his step-dad, Richard Hillman, was a serial killer as his justification for the attack. Gail came running up and Mark spat directly into her face, shouting that she had married a murderer before running off. Gail, already reeling under the knowledge of Richard’s recently revealed crimes, was staggered at the hatred she was being shown.
