5 Coronation Street spoilers for next week1. Tim Metcalfe intervenes when Will Driscoll attempts to leave Weatherfield for France\"Tim<\/p>\n

Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) tells Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) about his own abuse.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Ben reels when he discovers \u00a32,000 missing from the safe, admitting to Maggie and Eva that he left it open following a row with Sean. Unbeknownst to them, Will has already handed the cash to Megan, securing their escape to France.<\/p>\n

When Eva confronts Will, he keeps his cool, later insisting he\u2019s looking forward to a fresh start in Scotland. As Ben, Eva and Susie give him an emotional send-off in Tim\u2019s taxi, they remain blissfully unaware of his real plan.<\/p>\n

But things quickly unravel. A notification reveals the Glasgow train has been cancelled, and Will\u2019s insistence on heading to the station raises Tim\u2019s suspicions. Meanwhile, Ollie clocks the same cancellation and tries to call him.<\/p>\n

\"Ben<\/p>\n

Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) and Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) notice that Will’s train has been cancelled.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Back home, Ben realises his son’s passport is missing and panics, urging Steve to contact Tim and keep a close eye on him.<\/p>\n

In a heartfelt moment, Tim opens up to Will about his past with shopkeeper Trisha, admitting he\u2019s come to understand he was a victim of abuse.<\/p>\n

Shaken, Will ultimately backs down, telling his family he no longer wants to leave and will report Megan. Ben is relieved, but Maggie struggles to hide her unease.<\/p>\n

At the station, Lisa questions Megan, who vehemently denies Will\u2019s allegations. But as evidence mounts – including the stolen cash and their plan to flee – her situation looks increasingly precarious.<\/p>\n

Later, Tim encourages Will by sharing how confronting Tricia helped him find closure. But fresh tension brews when Ben receives a call from Melanie, prompting Maggie to insist they need a serious conversation. <\/p>\n

Is the truth about Ben\u2019s father finally about to surface? After a tumultuous week, emotions spill over in the Rovers as Ben reaches breaking point.<\/p>\n

2. Jodie Ramsey turns her attention towards Daniel Osbourne\"Daniel<\/p>\n

Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) lets herself into Daniel Osbourne’s (Rob Mallard) flat.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

David orders Jodie out, but she hits back, planting seeds of doubt in Shona\u2019s mind about the bedroom incident. With nowhere to go, Jodie overhears Ken discussing Daniel\u2019s supposed trip and quickly forms a plan.<\/p>\n

When Ken and Bertie check in with Daniel, believing he\u2019s enjoying the Lakes, he keeps up the pretence. Jodie lets herself into the builder\u2019s yard flat and comes face to face with Daniel, spinning a story about finding his spare key. <\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t buy it and orders her out – but when she threatens to expose his lie and admits she\u2019s desperate, he\u2019s left with a dilemma.<\/p>\n

\"Jodie<\/p>\n

In Cassie Plummer’s (Claire Sweeney) absence, Jodie hands Dorin and Bertie some sweets.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Feigning goodwill, Jodie later collects her belongings from No.8, assuring Shona there are no hard feelings. But her parting look tells a different story.<\/p>\n

Returning to Daniel, she tells him that his fake holiday is now over, and urges him to tell his family he’s arrived home.<\/p>\n

But Jodie’s meddling doesn’t stop there, as later in the week, she undermines Cassie before slipping sweets to Bertie and Dorin behind her back.<\/p>\n

3. Sam Blakeman takes a turn for the worse\"Sam<\/p>\n

Sam Blakeman’s (Jude Riordan) life has been ruined by Will.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Sam is eager to watch a meteor shower at the Red Rec and asks Hope to join him, but she refuses. Things take a sinister turn when Sam spots Will lurking.<\/p>\n

As he heads out alone, Will confronts him. Terrified, Sam drops his telescope, smashing it, and runs.<\/p>\n

Leanne finds Sam shaken and upset, but when Hope encourages him to speak out, she later mocks his fixation on Will – something which pushes Sam to breaking point. The threats continue, leaving Sam increasingly distressed.<\/p>\n

\"Sam<\/p>\n

Roy Cropper (David Neilson) tries to get to the root of Sam’s problems.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

As he prepares for a maths exam, it\u2019s clear he\u2019s struggling, prompting concern from Leanne, Nick and Toyah, who begin discussing counselling. But when Sam overhears, he misreads the situation entirely… and becomes convinced his family don\u2019t believe him and that he\u2019s on his own.<\/p>\n

Nick and Toyah later confide in Roy, who offers to spend time with Sam. But Roy finds him agitated, examining a tracking device he discovered in his school bag. <\/p>\n

Who is watching Sam?<\/p>\n

4. Gary Windass is prime suspect in Theo Silverton’s murder case\"Kit<\/p>\n

Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) is convinced that Gary Windass (Mikey North) is the killer.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

At the station, Kit and Lisa agree Gary\u2019s alibi doesn\u2019t hold up. It’s clear that they think that he’s responsible for Theo’s death, though later in the Rovers, Lisa notices Todd watching her closely and her suspicions towards him begin to rise. <\/p>\n

Police descend on the builder\u2019s yard, gathering potential evidence, including scaffolding poles. <\/p>\n

Does Gary have anything to hide?<\/p>\n

\"Christina,<\/p>\n

Whodunnit?\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Summer reveals she\u2019s been offered a place at an American university, with Todd urging her to accept and start afresh. <\/p>\n

The investigation stalls when deleted CCTV footage from Gary\u2019s computer proves unrecoverable, leaving Lisa and Kit back at square one.<\/p>\n

5. Sally Metcalfe urges husband Tim to confront his abuser\"Trisha<\/p>\n

Tim meets up with Trisha (Anita Booth).\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

Despite his words with Will, Sally is concerned that Tim still hasn\u2019t confronted his past, and raises the issue with Steve at the cab office.<\/p>\n

Determined, Tim decides to track Trisha down at work. When he finally faces her, he doesn\u2019t hold back – making it clear that, regardless of her perspective, she abused him when he was just 14.<\/p>\n
