A number of Coronation Street residents are at breaking point – and one legend of the Cobbles is about to have some serious health concerns.
Tension ramps up another gear next week and for the first time the soap has filmed a kiss between two co-stars in more than a year.
It’s not just any kiss either, as we’re about to see.
Footballer James Bailey is grilled about his sexuality by reporters – so decides there’s only way to to solve the issues.
It’s a big moment for the young star, but it’s not such a good time for Gail Platt or Tyrone Dobbs.
Will this be the week the Double Glammy empire finally crumbles?
A blistering newspaper story could be about to undo all Daisy Evans’ hard work – and she is not at all happy about it.
But what does her lack of funds now mean for the future of the Rovers Return?
Here’s what’s coming up on Corrie next week.
Gail’s heart-attack horror
Fans are in for a worrying week with one of the show’s longest-serving and longest suffering stars having a serious health scare.
David puts pressure on his Gail to let Sam see Nick, but the increasingly stressed mum is adamant she must respect Natasha’s wishes.
David then starts some game-playing, and dupes Gail.
A row then breaks out inside the Platts, and not feeling herself, Gail goes outside to clear her head.
After grabbing some fresh air, stunned Sam finds her doubled over and clutching her chest in pain.
As an ambulance is called, a breathless Gail accuses Nick, Sarah and David of causing her heart attack with their non-stop bickering.
Will the scare bring the family closer together?
Tyrone is floored by Alina’s baby bombshell
Poor Tyrone’s head is spinning, and things aren’t going to stop swirling any time soon.
He pauses from his war with ex Fiz to discover his former partner Kirsty has suddenly died.
Now we see him struggle to deal with the news of new girlfriend Alina’s pregnancy and he is hit for six when it all comes out.
Tyrone is grateful as Fiz helps him organise Kirsty’s funeral, and also supporters him as he explains to daughter Ruby that her birth mum has passed away.
But with Ty in no hurry to tell anyone else about the baby news, is that decision about to be taken out of his hands?
Discovering Alina’s nausea, Evelyn realises with horror that she is expecting. She hasn’t got a history of keeping things quiet.
Having returned from Kirsty’s funeral, Tyrone bottles out of telling Fiz after he turned up alone.
Will he tell all, or will somebody else get to Fiz first?
James is out and proud with Street smacker
James Bailey has a huge decision to make after pictures of the footballer and his love interest find their way online.
He knows time is running out if he is to keep his sexuality a secret.
The Weatherfield County prospect is horrified to see pictures of him with Danny Brady, alongside some derogatory comments.
He goes to warn Danny, but he has already left for the airport.
As James takes the stage at his promotion press conference he is asked some very awkward questions about his private life.
As he is bombarded with questions, will he become a football trailblazer?
When journalists grill him over the images, James decides to announce he is gay after keeping the truth a secret. Back on the Cobbles, Danny reveals he has seen the press conference and wants to be with James as a couple.
Fittingly during Pride month, they lock lips – and don’t care who sees.
The scene will be the first time the soap has filmed a kiss between two co-stars since the new way of filming began a year ago.
Daisy’s cutting revenge mission
Daisy is not best pleased that her business empire is about to crumble in front of her.
She is furious Sean has had an awakening and is trying to destroy the good name of Double Glammy.
Without the cash, the chances of her keeping hold of the Rovers are next to none.
Jenny is horrified to read the article in the Gazette slamming the shady business.
When she discovers that Daisy’s stripped Sean of his shifts at the pub and Emma has staged a walk-out, she’s furious and reinstates Sean.
Daisy’s humiliated, especially when Jenny reveals she’s looked at her finances and is going to buy the pub herself outright.
