It’s been a turbulent few months for Maria Connor (Samia Smith) — She fell pregnant with Liam’s (Rob James-Collier) baby, helped rescue him from a plunge in the Lake District and battled to ensure his predatory sister-in-law Carla (Alison King) didn’t steal him.

Or will Tina tell Gail what really happened? As guilt consumes David, could he finally – and dramatically – lose the plot entirely?

Leanne Battersby’s (Jane Danson) dream of running her own business has never panned out.

Will the pair get away with arson?

Could love be in the air for Jason and Becky (Katherine Kelly), despite him cruelly dumping her after a one-night stand, When Jason gets drawn into one of Tony Gordon’s scams and is barred from the café́, he finds an unlikely ally in Becky.
