Serious consequences for serious actions next week (Picture: ITV)

Next week’s Coronation Street episodes focus on crime and punishment, as Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) is on a campaign to make a date rapist pay, while Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) is jailed, and left fearing the consequences.

Since her ordeal, Amy has been determined to fight the injustice, and is found in the midst of a protest.

But things get more serious when she ends up in a club and sees a man attempting to spike a woman.

Determined to make him pay, Amy puts herself in danger to confront him, and things spiral out of control.

Meanwhile, Bernie gets the bad news that she has been handed a three month sentence – with the devastating outcome being that she will miss son Paul Foreman’s (Peter Ash) last Christmas.

Amy and Asha discuss the anti-spiking demo that’s due to take place in town. Nina’s put out that Asha never mentioned it to her.

As Asha and Nina enjoy drinks at the Chariot Square, Asha’s horrified to see Courtney and Darren together and leaps to her feet, accusing Courtney of cheating on Aadi.

When Nina explains that Aadi and Courtney split two weeks ago, Asha’s outraged that she kept it from her.

As Amy makes placards for the anti-spiking march, Steve confides in Summer how he’s worried about Amy and wishes she’d put the same focus into her degree.

As Amy, Summer, Evelyn and Cassie set off, Mason and his cronies make disparaging remarks. Amy loses it and goes to hit Mason with her placard but a police officer orders her to put it down.

To Summer’s horror, Amy argues with the officer before picking up a can of paint and spraying it all over the officer’s car. Amy is cuffed and arrested for criminal damage.

Audrey breaks the news to David and Maria that she’s selling the barbers so she can afford to buy back her house and she’ll be returning to work in the salon meaning one of them will have to go.

Amy introduces herself to Dan (Picture: ITV)

Amy lies to Steve and Tracy, making out the march went well and she’s off to hand in her essay.

Amy assures Asha that she’s learnt her lesson, she’ll look for other ways to make herself heard and is off home to do some coursework.

But after coming across Dylan, and urging him to stand up to Mason and not be a victim, a steely Amy ditches her plans for an early night.

In a nightclub, Amy watches as a guy spikes a woman’s drink. Amy charges over, knocks the drink out of her hand and leads her to the ladies’.

Amy explains to the woman that she was raped by a man like Dan and she’s trying to protect other women from the same fate.

The woman thanks her and leaves. But rather than leaving herself Amy approaches Dan and flirtily introduces herself, what is she up to?
