At first Geoff did a brilliant job at painting himself as the victim, however, the scales are starting to fall from everyone's eyes.
Even Geoff's son, Tim, has realised his dad's true colours... and as Ian points out, without Tim on his team, Geoff has little left.
Time is running out for Geoff
Speaking to Inside Soap about his inevitable comeuppance and eventual exit from the soap, Ian admitted things don't look good for his character.
"Now that Tim is in the picture, I think we have to view this as the beginning of the end for Geoff," admitted Ian, who has played the cobbles villain since March 2018.
"The more out of control he feels, the less in control he behaves - and I don't think it will end well, whatever happens.
"We love to hate a baddie, and see someone like Geoff get his comeuppance, so I suspect that he will.
"Let's be honest - Geoff is going to get it!"
