While weddings are often a joyous occasion, those in Coronation Street often don’t come without their drama, and Dev Alahan and Bernie Winter’s big day looks set to be no different

But there’s also plenty more to come next week as things are hotting up between Abi and Carl Webster in the ITV soap next week, while Lisa Swain and Carla are on the move, and Jenny Connor sets  her sights on a new love interest.

Kicking off with Abi and Carl, in The Rovers, Abi covers for Kevin and tells everyone he has been given the all clear. But as everyone congratulates him, Abi sneaks out for some afternoon delight with Carl at the hotel.

Meanwhile, Kevin confides in sister Debbie that he feels he is losing Abi. But he doesn’t seem to be far wrong as at the hotel Abi is shocked when she sees a message on Carl’s phone from Fiona and Carl confesses to Abi that he’s been doing illegal MOTs amongst other dodgy deals and he’s conducted the whole thing from Kevin’s garage.

Abi returns home to be faced with an excited Kevin and Jack who reveal that Debbie’s booked them a holiday to Mallorca as a treat, but will she agree to go?

When Abi tells him about Carl’s MOT scam, she’s horrified to realise Kevin already knew about it. Mad at Kevin for keeping it from her, Debbie finds Abi on Maxine’s bench and urges her to think long and hard about her marriage because nobody could love her more than Kevin does.

Abi ays Carl a visit at the hotel, wanting to know why he failed to tell her that Kevin was aware of the MOT scam. When Carl reveals that Kevin agreed not to report him on condition he didn’t tell her that he’d had the all clear from cancer, Abi’s fuming to realise Kevin’s still lying to her. Has Kevin pushed her into Carl’s arms once more?

At No.13, Abi makes out to Kevin that she’s got a stomach bug and he’ll have to attend the wedding on his own. But Abi secretly meets up with Carl in his hotel bedroom and admits she feels terrible for lying to Kevin. But not listening, Carl pulls her into a passionate embrace.

Meanwhile, Kevin returns home to find Abi dressed up to the nines. She then sneaks out to the ginnel to find Carl waiting for her and when Carl reiterates that he meant everything he said and he wants to be with her, Abi can’t help but grin.

Elswhere, having saved money buying cheap suits for Dev and Aadi, Bernie is having a low key hen do in the Bistro when word reaches the hens that the boys have hired a pole dancer at the Rovers.

Bernie’s furious and hurries out. She’ll then be seen storming into the Rovers to find the stags cheering on the pole dancer. Meanwhile, one by one the hens leave the Bistro to look for Bernie. Eventually, Aunty Rani ends up in the Rovers, but how will she react to what she discovers there?

Eventually, Dev and Bernie’s wedding day goes from bad to worse when the quads fall ill and have to watch with Joseph on live stream, before Bernie forgets her lucky charm locket containing the photo of her late son, Paul Foreman, and when she runs home to get it she disturbs a burglar.

Back at the Bistro, Debbie entertains the wedding guests by singing Hopelessly Devoted to You and proposing to Ronnie Bailey. Eventually, Bernie returns to the Bistro and walks down the aisle with her son, Kit Green.

With the service about to start, Dev and Bernie share loving looks, but suddenly Bernie struggles to breathe and collapses in front of a shocked Dev. As Bernie lies on the bistro floor, gasping for breath, Asha Alahan comes to her aid while Gemma Winter-Brown calls an ambulance and Dev and the wedding guests watch helplessly.

At No.5, Chesney notices the livestream has cut out just as an ambulance passes by. Will they get to Bernie in time? Soon after, at the bistro, the wedding guests survey the untouched buffet, wondering what to do when suddenly Asha arrives and announces that Dev wants the family at the hospital.

Also on the cobbles, as Ryan Connor helps Carla and Lisa pack up the flat, he describes his new living arrangements and his weird flatmate.

Carla feels sorry for him and Lisa’s left thoughtfu by the exchange. It’s then not long before Ryan arrives carrying his rucksack and when Lisa explains that she asked Ryan to move in with them, Carla’s deeply touched.

Elsehwere, an excited Todd Grimshaw tells Theo Silverton that the corner shop flat is up for rent and keen to move, George Shuttleworth admits to Todd that he’ll miss him when he eventually leaves.

In a bid to cheer him up, Todd suggests they go and join Dev on his stag do. Theo covers his irritation. At the stag Theo gets angry when Todd has a go on the pole, he feigns a headache and insists they go home.

Later, when Todd chooses spending time with Summer Spellman over a night out with Theo, he is not impressed. At No.11, Summer invites Theo to join her and Todd for pizza in front of the telly, but he refuses and announces he’s going to the pub, leaving Todd bemused.

At the end of the week, when Theo takes a call that the social worker has arrived, Gary Windass offers to run him home. But as the pair approach the van, they find a drunken Aadi leaning against it.

Theo tries to gently steer Aadi away, but he falls and bangs his head. Theo heads off to the meeting, leaving Gary and Dev to deal with Aadi, having been knocking back the booze before confessing to Lauren Bolton about what happened at his house party.

But Theo is shocked when PC Jess Heywood approaches and tells him there’s been a report of an incident at the precinct and he needs to answer some questions.

It’s Billy Mayhew who calls at the flat and tells Todd he has seen Theo being taken off in a police car. when the social worker explains that they’ll have to reschedule the meeting and check out if Theo’s crime is of a violent nature like the last time, Todd is perplexed and decides to try and find out more.

And, in the Rovers, Glenda Shuttlworth urges George to join a dating app and stop pining for Eileen Grimshaw, but they’re interrupted by Jenny who reveals that there’s a burst pipe at the Kabin.

Jenny thanks George for fixing her leaky pipe and offers to cook him dinner. Later, in the Rovers, Glenda reveals to George that she’s set him up on a dating app and he’s already had some interest and Jenny is left trying to mask her disappointment.
