A wedding should usually be a happy affair, but a dark cloud hangs over Peter and Carla as they gear up for their big day.
Next week on Coronation Street, Peter’s health takes a worrying turn ahead of their vows – will they get the chance to say ‘I do’?
Elsewhere, a family continues to be ripped apart as even more secrets emerge from the shadows.
And two star-crossed (er – well, kind of) lovers hide their true feelings for one another as the Weatherfield residents stand firmly in the other hurt party’s corner.
Here’s what you can look forward to on Corrie next week…
Exit for Cathy?
Cathy Matthews will leave the cobbles after the abuse she receives for her online comment proves to be too much.
The newsagent owner, played by Melanie Hill, finally admitted this week that it was her, rather than partner Brian, who left the nasty comment after Tracy refused to let her help with Steve’s fundraising.
But next week, she will feel the full wrath of the Weatherfield residents as she receives a death threat in the post.
On Monday, Cathy, Brian and Bernie celebrate her birthday at Speed Daal, but when they return Cathy receives a call from Dev telling her that it would be better if she stayed away from the kebab shop until the anger died down.
But she is even more upset when she discovers a parcel on the Kabin’s doorstep containing a funeral wreath.
Cathy goes on to confront Tracy about the wreath, but she denies any knowledge about it and throws in some more insults for good measure.
Her phone pings again and is left heartbroken when she receives another horrible message – which happens to be from the sender of the wreath.
Brian watches on, increasingly worried, and goes on to report the online abuse to Craig.
However, Craig apologises as he admits that there isn’t anything that the police can do.
Meanwhile, Gemma is horrified after finding a deepfake video of Cathy online, showing it to Bernie before heading to the toilet.
Cathy later tells Brian that it would be best if she moved away, but he begs her not to leave.
Yet, Cathy is nowhere to be seen later and Brian intends to report her missing to the police, but Elaine decides to tell him the truth…
Peter’s health takes a turn for the worse ahead of wedding
Tracey Barlow erupts in fury at Carla Connor at Peter Barlow’s liver transplant meeting ahead of Peter and Carla’s wedding.
And as Peter and Carla prepare to walk down the aisle – Peter becomes terrifyingly poorly.
Earlier in the week, a nervous Peter reveals he has got an appointment at the transplant centre to assess if he is a suitable candidate for a liver transplant.
Daniel rallies the family for a zoom meeting to discuss Peter’s situation, and Tracy shares Daniel’s suspicions about Carla with Steve.
Peter, Daniel and Carla attend a meeting with the transplant coordinator whilst Steve, Tracy and Adam join via zoom, but the meeting descends into chaos when Tracy digs about Carla’s infidelity.
Daniel also voices his suspicions about Carla and how he reckons she’s having an affair with Lucas.
When Peter reveals their plans for a small hotel wedding without any family, Tracy is left hurt, and Carla soon bites the bullet and tells Tracy that she’s not invited to their wedding.
Noting how unwell Peter is, Daniel suggests he postpone the wedding, but Peter will not hear of it.
Daniel recalls losing Sinead so soon after their wedding and stresses how important it is to cherish your loved ones.
As the big day arrives, Peter orders Daniel to put on a suit as he is coming to the wedding as best man.
A radiant Carla appears in the cafe in her wedding dress and asks Roy Cropper if he would do her the honour of giving her away.
As they head to the car, Peter stumbles, and Daniel asserts they should take him to hospital rather than his wedding, but Peter refuses and orders Daniel to drive him to his wedding.
Peter finally arrives at the hotel with Daniel in tow, and Peter and Carla read out their own vows but it is clear Peter is struggling and Carla urges the registrar to speed up proceedings.
Will they manage to become man and wife at last?

Tyrone tells Alina that he is moving back in with Fiz on a temporary basis for the sake of the kids, but declares it is her that he loves.
Tyrone moves back into No.9, but he cannot help wondering if he has made a terrible mistake.
When Fiz reveals that she has booked a relationship counselling session for them with Toyah Battersby, Tyrone’s heart sinks.
In the bistro, Toyah does her best to conduct Fiz and Tyrone’s counselling session, and afterwards, at home, Tyrone slips upstairs to take a call from Alina.
