Coronation Street fans are in store for a ton of drama next week – from a youngster’s baby bombshell

to the shock return of a fan favourite. It’s all kicking off on Coronation Street next week.

Having intercepted the counterfeit t-shirts, Beth delivers them to Sid in the ginnel,

but as he hands over the cash, Craig and Kit approach wanting to know what’s going on. With Sid’s job offer now off the table, Beth asks Carla if she can return to the factory.

Meanwhile, Stu spots Mason and Betsy stealing food. When Mason reveals he’s homeless, Stu offers him a bed at No.6 but Mason tells him to stuff his charity.

Stu offers Mason a job as a pot washer, a decision which proves to be very unpopular.

When Mason tells Betsy he’s prepared for trouble, she warns Dylan that he’d better not mess with Mason as working in a restaurant he has access to some very sharp knives.

Mason’s return has ruffled plenty of feathers 

With Dylan’s fear of Mason evident, Sean resolves to sort it out and barges into Speed Dahl to confront Yasmeen and Stu. Betsy admits to Mason that she told Dylan that he carries a knife. Annoyed, Mason asserts he can fight his own battles.

Elsewhere on the soap, Lauren is terrified as her prematurely born son lies in an incubator. Swain arrives at the hospital intent on asking Lauren some questions.

Betsy reminds Joel how he threw her out of his car in the middle of a rough estate and he owes her. Joel seethes.

Betsy finds herself in danger

Later, Joel scrolls through Betsy’s social media. An oblivious Dee-Dee reckons it’s time they booked their honeymoon.

When Betsy demands £100 or she’ll blab about him picking up young girls, Joel loses his temper and drags her into the ginnel.

Also happening on the soap, Fiz is floored when she bumps into Alina in Fresco’s car park, who explains she’s been called as a witness in a trial. Will she tell Tyrone his ex is back?

Alina makes her return next week 

While at the cab office Cassie’s eyes widen as she sees the customer’s name on an airport booking. Taking Steve’s cab, she helps Alina into the car before driving her straight to Coronation Street to see Tyrone. Alina’s furious to realise she’s been duped.

Meanwhile, Hope dumps Sam, and is suddenly much more interested in Jack – much to the shock of Fiz.

Hope has a baby bombshell in store for her parents 

Hope then visits Dr Gadass wanting to go on the pill. She gives her condoms and urges her to talk to her family.

Elsewhere on the soap, When Leanne fails to offer any kind words before Toyah’s appointment, it’s left to Nick to accompany her.

Rowan tells Leanne that she’s been selected by Willow to run the new resource centre and he’s fixed up a meeting with a potential investor. Rowan introduces Leanne to Grant and leaves her to deliver her sales pitch.
