Coronation Street confirms another high-octane week next week, as seen in my new spoiler pictures, with upsetting news in store for a number of residents while another plans her exit.
The exit in question is Gail Platt (Helen Rodwell), who is preparing to depart the eponymous Street after 50 years.
The legend puts the finishing touches on her upcoming Christmas wedding and, ahead of proceedings, she informs Shona (Julia Goulding) and Sarah (Tina O’Brien) that she’s arranged a pre-wedding pampering session at the salon.
The session in question, however, doesn’t exactly go as planned, with Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) making a number of scathing remarks about Gail’s soon-to-be husband.
Expect conflict aplenty!
Elsewhere, Carla Connor (Alison King) tells the factory workers to take the afternoon off following a power cut.
Bobby (Jack Carroll), however, invites Kirk (Andy Whyment) and Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) back to the flat to carry on drinking and DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) emerges in her dressing gown!
Is Carla and Lisa’s secret relationship set to be revealed?
You’ll just have to wait and see!
And there’s also sadness in store for Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), who receives Frankie’s blood test results and she’s forced to tell Max Turner (Paddy Bever) that it’s much worse than they thought.
It’s going to be quite a week on the cobbles.
