A look ahead to next week's episodes of Coronation Street, with a full rundown of each episode.

Monday 17th August

Todd returns from Thailand to receive a visiting order from Sarah. Todd visits Sarah and assures her she’s a good mate and he’ll always love her. Sarah reveals she finished with Kit to protect his career. Later, Kacey enters Sarah’s cell in tears and after explaining that her son has been arrested for armed robbery, begs Sarah to speak to Kit in the hope he can help.

When Sarah explains that she and Kit are done and there’s nothing she can do, Kacey threatens her. Sarah calls Todd from prison and tells him about Kacey’s threats who urges her to speak to Kit and if she refuses, he’ll do it for her. 

Adam manages to get a bad-tempered Harry into his Little Big Shotz Class by suggesting he take the lead in Bugsy Malone, leaving Kit feeling like a failure. During the session, Harry breaks Jake's headphones after being mocked about Sarah. Glenda tries to reach Kit without success, so Adam returns Harry to Bethany and criticises Kit’s lack of responsibility. When a stressed Kit eventually returns, will he apologise? 

Shona suggests to Sally they meet for lunch as it’ll give Lily and Lucy a chance to make up.  Lily hands Lucy a letter of apology and reveals that her own Mum is dead and she knows what she’s going through. Sally hugs Lucy and suggests that she and Lily could become best friends. 

Adam advises Alya to decline Idris’s offer and hold out for the full asking price.  George and Christina excitedly look forward to their trip to Somerset to visit George’s cousins but when Todd lets slip that Christina’s been on another spending spree, George tells Christina she’s no longer welcome to join him. 

Tuesday 18th August

On the street, Todd tells Kit that Sarah would like to see him, she wouldn’t say what about but it’s important. Kit visits Sarah who explains that she needs his help. Kit tells Sarah that if he were to help Kacey he could lose his job and reminds her that she dumped him to stop him from doing exactly that. Later, Kacey’s threats turn to violence. 

Sarah calls Adam from prison and Adam tells her that Harry needs stability, Kit is proving unreliable. Later, Adam and Bethany approach Kit and suggest that Harry should stay with Adam for the rest of the holidays as it’s important they all share the load. Kit’s affronted but when Gemma intervenes, will Kit agree? 

Sally and Tim assure Brody that Joanie and Shanice will visit their mum as soon as they’re back from Spain, but a resentful Lucy seethes, desperate to see her own dad. When her pleas for even a phone call are blocked by Tim, Lucy lashes out and refuses to join them for tea. A defeated Sally and Tim admit they might be completely out of their depth.

Alya spells out to Idris she wants £50k for her share of Speed Daal and he can take it or leave it. Sam joins Idris for a game of chess in Speed Daal.  When Ollie reveals that he was a poker fiend back in the day, Idris forms an idea. 

When Idris admits that he’s struggling to find the extra £15k for Alya, Leanne offers to lend him £5k. Idris books Speed Daal for a private party and enlists the help of Ollie and Lauren, explaining that it’s a poker night and neither Alya nor Leanne must find out about it… 

Christina joins Todd, James, and Sean in the Rovers for a night out. However, she soon leaves, admitting she's not in the mood for socialising while she's so worried about George.

Wednesday 19th August

Idris tells Ollie that he’d like him to take part in the poker game, he’ll provide him with the cash, the odds will be stacked in his favour and he’ll receive a cut of the winnings. As Lauren and Brody set up for the poker night, Lauren overhears Idris giving Ollie his instructions. Lauren warns Ollie that if he’s caught cheating, he’ll be in serious trouble. 

Having found out about the poker night from Brody, Kit calls at Speed Daal and persuades a reluctant Idris to let him take part and one of the players, Fiona, insists they double the stakes. With the game underway, Idris watches intently while Brody secretly knocks back shots behind the bar. One by one the players fold leaving Fiona and Ollie to battle it out.

Ollie wins the game hands down. Fiona’s fuming whilst Idris breathes a sigh of relief. After Idris has a go at Brody for stealing drinks, Brody lets slip to Leanne that it was a poker night and Ollie won using the money she gave Idris. How will Leanne react? 

Kacey tells Sarah that if anything happens to her son, it’ll be on her.  Tim tells Sally that social services called and Lucy will be going to meet her new foster parents tomorrow.  

Glenda spots a woman, Celeste, knocking on the door of No.7.  Glenda informs her that Dev and Bernie are away and the woman heads off. As Todd locks up the undertakers, Celeste approaches and explains that she’s looking to arrange a funeral and she’d like to do it over a drink.  

Thursday 20th August

Leanne finds Idris waiting for her outside Speed Daal and makes it clear that he’s not welcome in her restaurant.  As Leanne strides away, Idris hurries after her. Leanne rounds on Idris for gambling with her money but he points out that he cheated and her money was never at risk. But is that enough to earn her forgiveness? 

Later, Fiona calls at Speed Daal and is taken aback to discover that Ollie is the chef! Tim receives a visiting order from Richie in prison. In the prison visiting room, Richie asks Tim to back up his story of self defence as it’s his only hope for avoiding a prison sentence. When Tim refuses to lie for him, Richie loses his temper and points out that if it weren’t for him, he would never have returned to the house. Will Tim change his mind?  

Celeste and her driver, Fraser, visit the undertakers, to go over funeral arrangements with Todd. In the Rovers, Glenda takes a shine to Fraser and invites him for a drink. While alone with Todd, Celeste reveals the funeral is for herself and she has only six weeks to live. After planning a Dolly Parton-themed service, she collects Fraser, leaving Glenda thrilled when he gives her his number and agrees to a date tomorrow. When Todd reveals that he’s off to Canal Street, Christina insists on joining him.
