CORRIE EXPLODES NEXT WEEK AS ALFIE IS RUSHED TO ICU AND TYRONE’S LOST DAD ARRIVES!!!

A new arrival in Coronation Street sends shockwaves through Weatherfield, while the last new arrival continues to find himself in hot water next week.

Cassie Plummer’s (Claire Sweeney) world is imploding as, in an attempt to rid her relationship with Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) of Tracy Barlow’s (Kate Ford) toxic influence, she delivers an ill-fated proposal. Later, when Tyrone Dobbs’ (Alan Halsall) kids track down his biological father as a birthday gift, she’s faced with a hideous reminder of her past. Is Cassie about to completely self-destruct?

Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) is horrified when her young son ends up in hospital as a result of the mould in her flat. When she learns that her elusive landlord is Idris Nazir (Junade Khan), she begins to plot revenge, drafting in Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), while Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) worries over Idris’ growing influence on Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey). Has Idris already burned all of his Weatherfield bridges?

Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) makes a shock discovery about her brother, George’s (Tony Maudsley) girlfriend, Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) and immediately spills the tea to her brother, who confronts Christina. But what has Glenda found out?

Elsewhere, Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) struggles in the aftermath of the trial, Maria Connor’s (Samia Longchambon) distrust of Gary Windass (Mikey North) continues and Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) attempts to make the most of her remaining time in Weatherfield.

As usual, the football has caused some serious re-jiggery when it comes to our soaps, but also as usual, I’m on hand to help you keep track of what happens and when on the cobbles!

Sunday, July 5

A frustrated Abi has had enough as she calls her land lord over the worsening damp in her flat, lamenting to Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) that he never calls her back – and she doesn’t even know his name. Later, with Abi arrives in Speed Daal where Idris is, and as she calls her landlord again, his phone rings, and she realises they’re one in the same. Later, Abi tucks a poorly Alfie Franklin (Carter and Oakley Razak Townsend) into bed, unaware of the black mould growing behind his bed.

As an anxious Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) visits Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan), he’s heartened when Sam apologises for his earlier explosion, realising that his dad had his best intentions at heart and that he’s in the right place for the moment.

Elsewhere, Fiz Dobbs (Jennie McAlpine) catches a sneaky Hope and Ruby (Isabella Flanagan and Billie Naylor) plotting; as Cassie tries to get to the bottom of things, they refuse to play along and Ben Driscoll’s (Aaron McCusker) phone rings – the verdict on Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) is in and as the Driscolls enter the court room, the lead juror is ready to deliver the news.

Tuesday, July 7 – double episode

Abi and Kevin rush a suffering Alfie to A&E, and an anxious Idris is shocked to see the state of the flat and races to the hospital, where they’ll be keeping Alfie in ICU overnight. The doctor confirms that Abi needs to find a new place to live as the mould is the cause of Alfie’s breathing issues, and Leanne points out to Idris that the previous owner must have known about the mould. Abi later clocks Brody forcing a man into Idris’ car and reports back to Sally, who’s concerned when Brody later hands her some money.

Cassie is fed up of Tracy sticking her nose into her relationship with Steve. When Tyrone suggests that it’s just something she’ll have to live with if she truly loves Steve, Cassie’s having absolutely none of it and drops to one knee in the cab office, making an official proposal.

Meanwhile, as Hope attempts to ease Will Driscoll’s (Lucas Hodgson-Wale)  worry, he makes peace with Daniel, but he’s taken aback when Hope invites him to visit Sam at the hospital, while Christina lies to George to get out of a romantic dinner, and as George promises to make it up to Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) for ever suspecting her of killing Theo, Christina panics when she receives a phone call.

When Cassie spies Steve helping Tracy with a flower delivery, she decides to seek solace in a glass of vodka and heads to the Chariot Square. As she gets more and more drunk, she makes a pass at a bloke at the bar, just as Steve comes looking for her.

With her suspicions raised by Christina’s recent behaviour, Glenda goes rooting through her bag while she nips to the loo and is floored by what she finds inside.

Also, Idris is hit with two shocks, first when Abi tells him that she’ll be taking him to court, and second when he learns that Brody’s dad, Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), is a copper, Will announces that he’s giving up athletics, unwilling to deal with constant reminders of Megan and Fiz questions Hope and Ruby, who assure her they’re merely planning a nice surprise.

Cassie returns home with plans to attend Tyrone’s birthday meal at the Bistro. She’s lifted when Steve reassures her that he wants to move past the previous few days and return to where they were, but she’s floored again when Hope and Ruby reveal that they’ve located Tyrone’s dad with a sample of DNA.
