Meanwhile, Debbie asks Kevin and Abi to help her try the wedding menu and tells them all that no expense has been spared. When Kevin has to go home as he isn’t feeling well, Carl confides in Abi that his business in Germany is about to go bust.

Elsewhere, Dee-Dee attends a meeting with a rep from the Patient Advice and Liaison Service who assures her they’re investigating her complaint and Zoe, the midwife, was to blame.

Outside the hospital, Dee-Dee finds Asha and Zoe in deep discussion. Zoe tells Dee-Dee that she’s sorry for what she went through but none of it was her fault.

Asha calls at Dee-Dee’s flat and begs her to think twice about her complaint as it could ruin Zoe’s career. Dee-Dee stands her ground and points out that she was a victim of racism. Dee-Dee bumps into Wes on the street and recognises him from the hospital, unaware that he’s Zoe’s brother.

It’s a week of high stakes, deep secrets, and gut-wrenching choices on the cobbles of Coronation Street—and no one is escaping unscathed.

Sean finds himself in deep waters as he desperately scrambles to get £500 by the end of the day. The tension is mounting, and it’s clear he’s cornered. When he approaches Glenda with the unexpected request for the hefty loan, she immediately senses something isn’t right. Sean, usually upbeat and full of bravado, looks uneasy and cagey. Glenda gently probes—“Are you in trouble, love?”—but Sean avoids eye contact, brushing off her concerns. He doesn’t offer the full truth: that Brody is breathing down his neck, demanding the money by nightfall. And Brody doesn’t take no for an answer.

Word spreads quickly on the Street. Over at the factory, Eileen and George are shocked to discover that Julie’s collection jar—meant to help fulfill her final wishes—is completely empty. George, putting two and two together, drops a bombshell: Sean recently asked Glenda for £500. The question that hangs in the air, heavy and unsettling: Has Sean sunk so low as to steal from a dying woman’s fund?

Sean, clearly on edge, heads up Victoria Street and texts Brody to confirm the drop. He’s got the cash and is waiting at the meeting point. But where did he really get it from? And how far is he willing to go to keep Brody quiet—and himself safe?

Meanwhile, a very different kind of drama brews at Debbie’s wedding tasting. She’s in full-blown bridezilla mode, assuring Kevin and Abi that she’s spared no expense. Caviar, champagne, and designer tableware—Debbie wants it all to be perfect. But the mood shifts when Kevin suddenly cuts the evening short, clearly unwell. Concerned, Abi stays behind, and Carl—Debbie’s groom-to-be—opens up to her in a rare moment of vulnerability.

Carl confesses that his business venture in Germany is crashing fast. The walls are closing in, and he might have to fly out immediately to salvage what’s left. Abi tries to reassure him, saying Kevin will understand—but Kevin’s pride takes a hit. He’s gutted. All he wants is to support his friend, and now he feels useless. With Carl facing financial ruin and Debbie oblivious to it all, what does this mean for their fairytale wedding?

Elsewhere, Dee-Dee continues her pursuit of justice. She meets with a representative from the Patient Advice and Liaison Service regarding her traumatic experience during her hospital stay. The rep confirms her complaint is being taken seriously—and that midwife Zoe was at fault.

But outside the hospital, Dee-Dee spots Zoe in an intense conversation with Asha. Sensing something off, she watches from a distance. Later, Asha shows up at Dee-Dee’s flat and begs her to reconsider the complaint, revealing that Zoe’s entire career hangs in the balance. Dee-Dee, though sympathetic, stands her ground. This isn’t just about Zoe’s job—it’s about accountability, and more importantly, the racial injustice she faced. “I was a victim of racism,” she says quietly but firmly.

Then, fate throws a cruel twist. As Dee-Dee walks down the street, she bumps into Wes, someone she vaguely remembers from the hospital. What she doesn’t know is that Wes is Zoe’s brother. How long until the dots connect—and what happens when they do?

Meanwhile, Gemma faces her own domestic dilemma. With Dev offering Chesney a once-in-a-lifetime job working at a major festival in London, it seems like the break they’ve been waiting for. But with the kids to think about, they’re torn. That is, until Lou steps in. Offering to help out with the children, she gives Chesney the green light to take the job. Gemma is immensely grateful.

But Lou isn’t done yet. Spotting a ‘Stylist Wanted’ sign in the salon window, she turns on the charm. Despite having little-to-no real experience, she boasts of her “creative touch” and quickly ropes in Gemma to back her up. Audrey, intrigued but skeptical, agrees to give Lou a trial. But has she just hired a fraud?

Back at the flat, things get complicated between Todd and Theo. The two share a quiet moment, and Todd opens up. He admits he understands that Theo isn’t ready for commitment, but confesses that he really does like him. The conversation is interrupted when Sarah returns home. A moment later, Theo’s phone buzzes with a mysterious text, and Todd quickly snatches it, his expression unreadable. Who sent the message—and what is Todd hiding?

As night falls on the cobbles, the drama only deepens. Sean’s secret deal with Brody is about to explode. Glenda begins to suspect he’s hiding something bigger than just financial strain. George, driven by loyalty to Julie, starts asking questions no one wants to answer. And Brody? He’s not someone you mess with.

Elsewhere, Carl wrestles with whether to tell Debbie the truth about his collapsing business. Will she stand by him—or will the cracks destroy their big day before it even begins?

Dee-Dee’s world is teetering, too. Torn between justice and empathy, she must decide whether to protect Zoe’s career or stand by her principles. And when she finally realizes who Wes really is, it could change everything.

From secret agendas to broken trust, Coronation Street reminds us that life on the cobbles is never straightforward. Every decision ripples outward, every lie breeds another, and sometimes, the hardest truth is the one we tell ourselves.

Tune in this week to see who comes clean, who doubles down—and who’s left picking up the pieces. Because in Weatherfield, the past has claws, and it’s coming back to scratch.
