Paul lands himself in a dangerous situation and Amy is thrown into a panic (Picture: ITV)
There is a lot to be anxious about next week in Coronation Street, as Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) faces prison after being caught in a criminal trap, while the ongoing aftermath of Aaron’s (James Craven) attack on Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) throws her into even more distress.
With Paul trying to gather the cash for criminal Niall, the pressure is on for Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths), who is up to his neck in it.

Meanwhile, Amy is facing a crisis as she realises the deep impact Aaron’s actions have had on her psychologically.
As she travels on a bus and a man sits beside her, she is thrown and suffers a panic attack, knowing that she has a long way to go to find closure, if that’s even at all possible.

With the meeting to discuss the late licence about to start, Nick and Leanne wonder where Damon has got to. While Brian, Evelyn and Ken fire awkward questions about noise pollution at Nick, Leanne tries in vain to get hold of Damon.
