Coronation Street: Family Secrets Unravel After Eva's Attack
Next week on Coronation Street, the truth about Eva's attack threatens to tear a family apart, while Jodie's behaviour takes another dark turn and Sam makes a shocking confession. These storylines promise to test loyalties and expose hidden tensions among the residents of Weatherfield.
What happens after Eva is found unconscious?
Ben sits at Eva's hospital bedside after she was found unconscious in the cellar at The Rovers. Wanting to get to the bottom of what happened, Kit questions Debbie and Carl on Eva's injuries. Carl explains how he helped Eva to clear up as she was not feeling well, before returning home.
Debbie states that she is going to buy Eva some flowers but is suspicious when Carl pulls out his wallet, which is full of cash. Ronnie and Kevin start to suspect that Carl might have robbed the pub and accidentally pushed Eva down the stairs in the process, but what will Debbie do with this information?
How does Tim handle Lucy's behaviour?
A hungover Lucy is feeling remorseful over her latest outburst and apologises to Tim. Later, Tim confides in Lisa over his worries that Lucy might be experiencing the same pressure from Richie. Tim explains that Richie tried to pressure him into telling the police that Rachel was abusive towards him, and he is worried Lucy might be facing the same interrogations. However, he is unaware that Lucy is listening.
Tim decides to take Sally's advice to get tougher with Lucy following her recent behaviour. He tells Lucy that she is grounded, leaving her furious. Afterwards, Tim takes Joanie to the café, but when he opens his wallet, he discovers someone has stolen his cash. Suspicion immediately falls to Lucy, but is she to blame this time?
What is Jodie planning for Shona's family?
Shona announces that she is going to work but is unnerved when Jodie offers to take over her domestic duties to help her out. Shona is further irritated when she returns home to find David doing the washing up, while Jodie looks after Harper.
Jodie goes to the salon for a blow-dry, claiming she is preparing for a date. When David finishes her hair, Jodie pretends to get a text saying her date has cancelled. She then takes a bottle of champagne from her bag and convinces David to have a drink with her. What is she planning?
Jodie returns home with an extravagant bunch of flowers and lies that they are a gift from her date. However, Shona later tells David that she found out from Mary that Jodie bought the flowers herself and he confirms that her date never happened. Later, Jodie puts her dark plan into action as she rummages through Doug's belongings and swaps his anti-psychotic drugs for ordinary painkillers.
Jodie has swapped Doug's medication, wanting to make him look paranoid so that he does not ruin her scheme. Unaware that Jodie has swapped his medication, Doug looks suspiciously at the radio before putting it in a cupboard. David and Shona are worried about what is going on with Doug, but Jodie is pleased to see his paranoia growing because of her actions. When Doug says he can hear static, Jodie turns up the volume and pretends she does not know what he means.
Who confesses to attacking Eva?
Carl is taken in for questioning over Eva's attack but continues to protest his innocence. Could someone else be responsible? Ben tells Kevin that the police still have no leads over Eva's attack, but it is not long before the truth starts to come to light. Later, someone confesses to being responsible, but who is it?
That remains to be seen, but the truth blows apart one family and it is clear that things will never be the same again.
What is Sam's shocking confession?
Hope confides in Nick and Toyah about Sam's strange behaviour. Worried, Nick and Toyah speak to Sam and encourage him to open up, but to no avail. A distraught Sam confesses that he has been trading cryptocurrency using Nick's identity.
Sam explains that he took out a credit card in Nick's name and he has run up a debt of over £6k, leaving Nick, Toyah and Leanne all horrified. As Nick reels from Sam's confession, he eventually admits that he will struggle to pay off the full amount, leaving Idris intrigued.
What else happens in Weatherfield this week?
Betsy returns to work at the factory, hoping to get some practice before her college interview. However, Betsy soon finds herself struggling with her machine, prompting Sean to help her out. Later in the week, Lisa accompanies a nervous Betsy to her college interview.
Carl is still protesting his innocence over Eva's attack and tries to talk to Debbie about what is happening. When it becomes obvious that Debbie is confused and has no idea what he is talking about, Carl is forced to hide his worry.
Tim reminds Lisa about their conversation regarding Richie and Lucy and asks her to investigate it. Christina overhears and tries to get more information from Tim in the Rovers. When Tim hints that things may not be as straightforward as they thought, Todd takes notice. Later, at the undertakers, Christina confides in Todd.
Sally and Lucy call the undertakers to order Rachel's plaque. Afterwards, Sally finds some family photo albums for them to look through, but Christina is thrown by something she sees and quickly ushers Sally and Lucy out.
Lily confronts Shona and accuses her of always putting Harper first. When Lily remarks that Jodie always manages to make time for her, Shona is left feeling guilty.
