The instalment has been filmed through hidden cameras and police body cams, as a domestic incident is reported on the cobbles.

Meanwhile, Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) is hot on son Will’s (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) heels when he heads to the hotel for an afternoon in the sheets with Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon).

Elsewhere, Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) has some news, and there’s drama for Abi and Carl Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine and Jonathan Howard).

Here’s a look at everything happening in Weatherfield between Monday 15th and Friday 19th December.
