Bernie Winter-Alahan (Jane Hazlegrove) finally reaches breaking point in Coronation Street<\/a> next week, when she warns stalker Mal Roper (Tim Treloar)<\/a> that she wants him gone from Weatherfield.<\/p>\n

However, this comment has devastating repercussions, as he’s later found badly beaten. Is Bernie responsible?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, news reaches Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) that dad Jim (Charles Lawson) is knocking on death’s door, and he wonders whether to go and visit him.<\/p>\n

Radio Times<\/a> revealed earlier this month that Jim will sadly meet his maker<\/a> in an off-screen exit, over 35 years since the character debuted.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) causes more mischief for Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), and there’s trouble for George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) at the undertakers.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about the episodes of Coronation Street airing between Monday 23 and Friday 27 February.<\/p>\n

5 Coronation Street spoilers for next week1. Bernie Winter-Alahan is arrested following an attack on Mal Roper\"Mal<\/p>\n

Mal Roper (Tim Treloar) is found in a bad way.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Dev and Asha head off for some father-daughter bonding, blissfully unaware that back on the cobbles, a situation is unfolding. <\/p>\n

Roy pops to the bank and leaves Bernie alone with Mal, with him quickly locking the caf\u00e9 door and baring his soul. Bernie knocks him back, the mood changes fast, his intensity morphing into something far more menacing.<\/p>\n

Later, Bernie reels when she finds her head neatly sliced out of her wedding photo. She decides to confront him over the vandalism, but he plays dumb.<\/p>\n

\"Roy<\/p>\n

Roy Cropper (David Neilson) is suspicious of Bernie Winter-Alahan’s (Jane Hazlegrove) relationship with the newcomer.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

When Tracy mentions Ken\u2019s on the hunt for a decent electrician, Roy is quick to recommend Mal’s services. Bernie dives in, warning Tracy to steer clear, leaving her boss baffled. <\/p>\n

Later, jumpy at every sound, Bernie arms herself with a golf club when there\u2019s a knock at the door – only to find son Kit instead. She confesses her ill-advised night with Mal, and the nightmare that has followed.<\/p>\n

Mal then storms into the caf\u00e9, unleashing a tirade at Bernie in full public view until Roy steps in and throws him out. Bernie doesn\u2019t clock a passerby as she hisses at Mal that if he doesn\u2019t back off, she\u2019ll kill him. He laughs in her face, claiming he\u2019s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n

\"Bernie<\/p>\n

Could Bernie really be responsible?\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

The next day, at the station, Lisa briefs Kit about a man found with a head injury. One glance at the file and Kit pales – it\u2019s Mal. Bernie soon appears with her bags packed, and Kit heads to the hospital where doctors confirm that he’s in a critical condition. <\/p>\n

DC Browning swiftly arrives with handcuffs and arrests Bernie on suspicion of assault.<\/p>\n

\"Kit<\/p>\n

Bernie calls on son Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) for help.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Behind bars, Bernie insists to Kit that she\u2019s innocent. In the interview, she admits to spending a night with Mal \u2013 strictly platonic, she claims \u2013 and says he\u2019s been stalking her ever since. It\u2019s her word against his\u2026 assuming he pulls through to give it.<\/p>\n

2. Steve McDonald receives some sad news about dad Jim\"Steve<\/p>\n

Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) learns that Jim (Charles Lawson) is in a bad way.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Cassie clocks Steve\u2019s blossoming bromance with Ben and can\u2019t resist pointing out that Tim might feel a tad sidelined. The two joke over the situation, until a serious message reaches Weatherfield – Jim’s landlord wants \u00a31,800 in unpaid rent, and he’s conveniently listed Steve as guarantor. <\/p>\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough, Steve hears from one of his dad’s army mates that Jim is in hospital and not expected to recover. Cassie urges him to go and visit, but Tracy reminds him of the years of chaos Jim caused.<\/p>\n

With a flat battery scuppering his plans, Ben offers to drive. In the hospital car park, Steve falters, admitting it could be his last chance to see his dad \u2013 or the start of another regret.<\/p>\n

\"Steve<\/p>\n

He explains that Jim treated him badly in the past.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Ben later invites Steve and Tim to a Weathy County event with free tickets, and the trio return to the Rovers buzzing. As they head off, Steve doesn’t realise that Jim is attempting to call. <\/p>\n

The next morning, Steve wakes in the pub\u2019s back room nursing a hangover and declares he\u2019s done chasing a father who never showed up. He\u2019s got all he needs in his loving partner and daughter, and is unaware of the big surprise Cassie is planning for him.<\/p>\n

\n\"Radio3. Jodie Ramsey has yet another secret\"Jodie<\/p>\n

Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) enjoys getting closer to David Platt (Jack P Shepherd).\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Jodie receives a text from Carl and, taking Shona\u2019s advice, tells him in no uncertain terms to get lost. Debbie, however, ignores Ronnie\u2019s warnings and transfers Carl \u00a32k. <\/p>\n

A seething Ronnie confides in Ed that Carl\u2019s bleeding her dry. As Jodie brushes off an icy encounter with Carl, she fails to notice she\u2019s being followed.<\/p>\n

From afar, someone watches her, clutching a locket identical to hers. Who is it?<\/p>\n

\"Jodie<\/p>\n

She’s hiding yet another secret.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Toyah later gives Jodie a dressing down over David the dog\u2019s mess. But Jodie\u2019s quickly distracted when a girl named Olivia appears, reminding her how much she once loved caring for her and her sister.<\/p>\n

Later, checking she\u2019s alone, Jodie retrieves a hidden box, hinting at yet another secret. <\/p>\n

Back at No.8, Shona panics over her missing wedding ring. David returns to find Jodie fishing behind the armchair, claiming she can feel the ring but needs his help. As he crouches beside her, Jodie seems chuffed by how close they’re getting.<\/p>\n

She’s keen to stir trouble, setting David up to look like he\u2019s slacking on chores, fuelling Shona\u2019s doubts. In the caf\u00e9, Shona admits to Bethany that she and David barely see each other these days.<\/p>\n

Has Jodie stolen her brother-in-law?<\/p>\n

4. Maggie Driscoll continues to meddle in Ollie’s love life\"Lauren<\/p>\n

Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) rattles Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) cage.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Ollie excitedly invites Lauren to dinner at the bistro, and she\u2019s over the moon. Things are starting to finally look up for her, and their dates have been going swimmingly.<\/p>\n

However, Maggie deals a frosty reminder that Lauren owes her job to her, and she’s left wondering how to deal with the interfering grandmother from hell.<\/p>\n

5. George Shuttleworth is in legal trouble at the undertakers’\"George<\/p>\n

George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) are accused of manipulating clients’ wills.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

At the undertakers’, Christina jokes about George charming clients into changing their wills – only to realise Mrs Ripley, a potential customer, has overheard. <\/p>\n

Adam later informs George that disgruntled customer Annie has hired him to contest her mother\u2019s will and advises George to get legal representation.<\/p>\n

\"George<\/p>\n

They’re warned to acquire a legal representative.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

George considers rejecting the \u00a310k left to him in Annie\u2019s mother\u2019s will to avoid the drama, but Christina points out that would look suspiciously like an admission of guilt. Adam then drops another bombshell: Annie thinks Christina is George\u2019s partner in crime and plans to sue them both.<\/p>\n

As if things weren\u2019t fraught enough, Mrs Ripley’s son, Damien, thanks George for handling his mum\u2019s funeral. But just as they see him out, Annie swoops in, warning Damien that the funeral director can\u2019t be trusted.<\/p>\n

Is something serious about to happen?<\/p>\n
