It’s another busy week in Weatherfield, with a number of Coronation Street residents becoming increasingly suspicious of one another.
David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) reckons there’s something shifty about sister-in-law Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown), while Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) is handed an intriguing clue about the identity of his Christmas attacker.
Meanwhile, Bernie Winter-Alahan (Jane Hazlegrove) is desperate to hide her scandalous night of drink and drugs from husband Dev (Jimmi Harkishin), and Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) bumps into an old face – Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty)!
Elsewhere, an exhausted Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) collapses, and Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) has a sinister plan for his mother’s hotel.
Here’s everything happening in Coronation Street between Monday 9th and Friday 13th February.
