Next week on Coronation Street, there’s danger for Bethany as a mysterious intruder arrives.
Elsewhere, Gail suffers a worrying health scare, Leanne is on the move, and Dee-Dee’s new living arrangements prove trickier than she’d expected.
Here’s our full guide to 11 big moments coming up. You can also explore the stories in more detail with our collection of 15 spoiler pictures from the episodes.
1. An intruder arrives at Sarah’s flat
Bethany is discharged from hospital and moves into Sarah’s flat to continue her recovery. Damon tries to contact Sarah from the prison, desperate to warn her about something, but she’s preoccupied with Bethany and doesn’t answer the call from the unknown number.
Later, while Sarah is out food shopping, Bethany is shocked as an intruder arrives at the flat. She tries to hide, but can she avoid being spotted by this mystery man?
2. Dee-Dee struggles to cope
Lauren settles into Dee-Dee’s flat after being invited to move in with baby Frankie. She hands over some flowers to Dee-Dee as a thank-you.
Later, the social worker turns up to speak to Lauren. Dee-Dee heads into the kitchen to make tea for everyone, but gets upset when she finds an old love note from Joel in the cupboard.
As Dee-Dee rushes out, is this a sign that she’s not really coping with having Lauren and Frankie under her roof? Or – with Kit getting suspicious over Dee-Dee’s behaviour following Joel’s death – does she have more to hide?
3. Max declares his feelings for Lauren
Bobby heads to No.8 to confront Max, feeling frustrated that his friend is avoiding him. He’s surprised to find that Lauren is with Max and demands to know what they’re both hiding.

David and Audrey gossip about Gail at the salon, with both in agreement that she’s being foolish by trusting Jesse. David’s week gets worse when he finds out that Carla has made an offer on the house.

5. Gail suffers a health scare
Jesse searches for Lily’s bicycle pump in the cupboard under the stairs at the house and makes a surprising discovery. Just as he’s about to ask questions, Jesse is concerned to spot Gail struggling with her breathing and clutching her arm in pain.
Jesse calls an ambulance, leaving David and Sarah worried as they spot their mum being taken away. They both feel terrible for stressing Gail out with the bickering.
Meanwhile, once Gail has gone, Jesse’s thoughts turn back to his discovery in the cupboard and he tries to needle David into a confession. Will David acknowledge the secret he’s been keeping?
