CORONATION STREET PREVIEW: WHAT'S IN STORE NEXT WEEK, EPISODE SYNOPSIS

A look ahead to next week's episodes of Coronation Street.

Monday 16th September

As they arrive in court for the hearing, Dee-Dee warns Theo to keep a cool head. Danielle’s barrister questions Theo about his violent temper and accuses him of assaulting Miles. Theo assures him it was an accident but as Noah makes derogatory remarks under his breath, Todd loses his temper and lunges at Noah.

As Todd is escorted out by security, Noah allows himself a smug grin. Will Theo be granted access to his kids? Noah finds them at the bistro and asserting that Danielle won’t back down, makes homophobic jibes. When Theo refuses to rise to the bait, Noah leaves fuming. However Danielle later arrives with some shock news about Noah. 

Becky reveals that she’s moving into a rented flat nearby. When Betsy suggests Lisa could help her move her stuff, Lisa’s forced to go along with it. As they wait in the car together (having run out of fuel) Becky discusses Carla. Carla tells Ryan that she trusts Lisa implicitly, but when Ryan wonders if she trusts Becky to the same degree, Carla masks her unease.

Abi quizzes Carl about Tracy. Carl makes out that he fed her a sob story, she bought it and won’t be bothering them again. Abi thanks Tracy for backing off. But when Tracy reveals she didn’t have much choice as Carl got someone to trash her shop and threatened to hurt her Dad, Abi’s horrified. 

Bernie voices her concerns about Asha to Dev. Dev admits that she’s been spending a lot of time in her room. After some persuasion from Bernie, Asha agrees to help Ryan with the careers fair at the hotel, unaware that the guest speaker is the woman who abused her. Evelyn masks her disappointment and tells Fiz that she’s decided to give up university as it’s expensive and is a young person’s game. 

Wednesday 24th September

At the hospital for Kevin’s cancer check, the doctor gives him the all clear. Kevin floods with relief whilst Abi hides her unease, especially when Kevin states he’s looking forward to them growing old together. Abi meets up with Carl and tells him she hates leading a double life and lying to Kevin. Back at home Kevin suggests they spend their retirement doing up old cars. Abi steals herself and drops the bombshell that she thinks they should break up. 

Dev persuades a reluctant Asha to let him take her for lunch at the hotel. But Asha’s shaken when she comes face to face with Naomi, who’s there planning a careers fair, reminding Naomi how she tried to help her when she was drunk, but in return she was abused and spat upon. Naomi denies all knowledge and warns Asha against making unfounded allegations. Asha returns home in tears and tells Bernie about her run in with Naomi and how she played dumb. Bernie heads out, a woman on a mission. 

Becky quizzes Betsy about the last four years, hoping to make up for lost time. But Betsy gets upset and hurries away. When Becky calls, Carla asserts that it would be best for everyone if she went back to playing dead.

Fiz admits to Maria that she’s feeling the strain with Tyrone in hospital. Todd confides in Maria that he’s mystified by Theo’s reaction to the news about Noah when all he ever did was make Theo’s life a misery. Theo listens, his face darkening. 

Friday 26th September

Bernie confides in Dev that according to Kit, it’s going to be difficult to bring charges against Naomi as they only have Asha’s word for what happened. At the careers fair, Bernie locates Naomi’s laptop. As Naomi takes the stage, and clicks on the first slide, she’s horrified by what she sees.

Bernie explains to the shocked audience how Naomi abused Asha, a paramedic and woman of colour. Nina and Amy film the proceedings on their phones while Ryan calls a halt to the event. Having watched the video, Asha rounds on Bernie for interfering. Naomi barges into No.7 and announces that she’s suing Bernie for defamation. 

Kevin tells Tyrone about his break up with Abi and how he suspects she might be having an affair with Carl. Tyrone shares his own frustration over the hit and run and how the police are no nearer to finding out who was responsible. In the hotel bedroom, Abi snuggles up next to Carl and suggests it’s time for them to run away together and start a new life. Carl tries to make light of the situation. Debbie pays Carl a visit and is shocked to find Abi there. 

Theo excitedly reveals that Miles and Millie are coming to say and orders Todd to get the flat looking spick and span. Todd does his best to appear upbeat. When Millie reveals that the only reason they’ve come to visit is because they’re legally required to see him, Theo’s cut to the quick. 

Jenny invites George to join her for lunch but he declines, making out he’s got to clean the funeral parlour. Jenny calls at the undertakers with her mop but when she finds that George has enlisted Christina’s help, she leaves. Dee-Dee and Ollie join Adam and Alya for lunch in the bistro. Ollie criticises the food and Dee-Dee’s embarrassed. 

Coronation Street continues Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
