Coronation Street is lining up a huge week for Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, when she reveals her dementia diagnosis to her family.
Suspicions are raised when she lashes out at Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) in the hotel, when she spots him drinking underage.
Rather than handling the matter sensibly, she smashes a glass down on the bar and makes a huge, public spectacle.
Later, when she collapses in Speed Daal, brother Kevin (Michael Le Vell) goes to call an ambulance. She regains consciousness and tells him to stop – confirming her pre-diagnosed health issues.
Back to Brody, and the start to his week isn’t too grand. He finds himself behind bars at the cop shop when Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) arrests him for harrassment.
Bundled into a cell, he refuses to hell the detective what the white pills in his pocket are, and they’re swiftly confiscated.
When alone, he pleads for his medication – but Lisa has already walked away. It’s not long before he suffers another epileptic fit.
Elsewhere, Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) seems to come round to the idea of parenting her daughter Laila.
Brother James (Jason Callender) has has a restless night with the infant and could do with a few hours kip, and she’s more than happy to lend a helping hand.However, later in the week, it seems she’s struggling more than she’s letting on and the siblings begin to bicker.
Plus, when Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) drowns his sorrows in the Rovers, he’s horrified to see a picture of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) pop up on Sean Tully’s (Antony Cotton) dating app.
Things seem to get back onto the straight and narrow for the couple, before Theo blames Todd for putting his phone on aeroplane mode – and making him miss an important update about daughter Millie (Kaitlyn Earley).
The teenager threatens to drive yet another wedge between the two later in the week when she explains that she’s at loggerheads with mum Danielle (Natalie Anderson) and hopes to stay at No. 11 a little longer than expected.
Will Todd agree to the new living arrangement?
