Confessions, arrests and dilemmas – a busy week on the cobbles! (Picture: ITV)
The health of several Coronation Street residents is at risk in next week’s episodes, as Cassie Plummer’s (Claire Sweeney) life is on the line, while Chesney Brown’s (Sam Aston) fears for Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) mount.
Cassie’s addiction continues to consume her, despite Tyrone Dobbs’ (Alan Halsall) efforts to get her grounded in her new life in Weatherfield.
She is given a new job and plenty of support, but drug-dealing Dean remains a thorn in her side, leading to theft from work and home, and then an overdose that sees her rushed to hospital after collapsing.
After this, she is set to bring even more despair to Tyrone’s door as she spins lies about her childhood, which only serves to drive a deeper wedge between Tyrone and Evelyn (Maureen Lipman).
Elsewhere, in the wake of a dramatic confession of undying love from Henry Newton (George Banks), Gemma is in a tailspin.
And, with caring for the quads and trying to support dying brother Paul Foreman (Peter Ash), she is taking on a lot.
But when David and Maria clock the broken mirror, they demand Max tell them what’s been going on. In the café, Lauren apologises to Roy for missing her shift. However they’re interrupted by a police officer who announces that he’s arresting her on suspicion of causing criminal damage. Lauren’s heart sinks.
Eliza’s excited to go to the cinema with her dad but when she returns home from school in tears and tells Stu she started her period in the middle of PE, wanted to die with embarrassment and doesn’t want to see her Dad, Stu hugs her.
When Courtney suggests an afternoon tryst, Aadi’s torn and explains that he’s got a meeting with Darren and Dev. Aadi attends the meeting but when Darren starts quizzing him about his love life, Aadi wishes the ground would swallow him up.
Ronnie tells Ed he’s transferred half of the share money into his personal account so that Aggie never gets wind of it. Ed assures him he can trust him.

It seems Chesney’s worries that her illness could take hold once more may be founded.
And in other Street developments, the teens are in chaos as Max Turner (Paddy Bever) is in the middle of a potential love triangle.
Having been rejected by him, Lauren (Cait Fitton) is consumed by rage and trashes the salon, which leads to a warning from David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) to his son.
Whose fingers will be burnt?
