Abi Webster will be in the warpath in Coronation Street next week as her son, Alfie, is rushed to hospital, and it seems Idris Nazir could have something to do with it.
It starts in the café, when Abi leaves a message for her landlord complaining about the damp in her flat, while also telling Leanne Battersby that he never returns her calls and she doesn’t even know his name.
As the day progresses, Abi arrives at Speed Daal with her phone to her ear, and when she hears Idris’ phone ringing, she realises she has finally tracked down her landlord. Later, as Abi tucks a coughing Alfie up for the night, we see the black mould behind his bed.

After waking up Alfie to find him struggling to breathe, a panicked Abi phones ex-husband Kevin Wesbter, who says he will drive them to A&E. Meanwhile, Idris is concerned when he sees them carrying Alfie out of the flat.
On hearing the news, Carl Webster races to the hospital, and the consultant tells them he is going to run some tests, but they want to keep Alfie in the ICU overnight. As Alfie’s family face a worrying wait in the hospital, at the flat, Idris and Brody Michaelis are shocked when they discover the mould on the flat walls. Hearing that Alfie is in a bad way, Idris races to the hospital. What reception will he receive?

At the hospital, the doctor confirms that Alfie’s breathing difficulties are directly caused by the mould in his bedroom and that Abi should find somewhere new to live.
Meanwhile, Leanne and Alya Nazir point out to Idris that whoever he bought the flat from must have known about the damp and should be held to account. How will Idris deal with the problem?
Later, Abi is concerned to see Idris and Brody behaving strangely. Abi takes Sally Metcalfe to one side and warns her that she saw Brody forcing a bloke into the back of Idris’s car and they were obviously up to no good. When Brody gives her money towards the housekeeping, Sally confides in Tim that Idris isn’t all that he seems, and he’s leading Brody into bad ways.
Once safely home from the hospital, Abi and Alfie prepare to move into Kevin’s. Abi heads to the flat to pick up some things, where she meets Idris and Brody, who are unloading paint and tools to sort out the damp. Unimpressed by his efforts, Abi tells him she is taking him to court. In the Rovers, Brody introduces Kit to his new boss, Idris, who is taken aback to realise Brody’s dad is a police officer.

Later, at No.4, Sally urges Abi to sue Idris over the mould and suggests they approach Adam Barlow. Sally and Abi meet Adam for a drink and persuade him to take on Abi’s case against Idris.
Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Ben Driscoll takes a call informing him that the verdict is in. Eva Price gives him a supportive squeeze. In the court, the jury delivers its verdict. Has justice been served?
While the verdict is yet to be revealed, later, in the café, Hope Dobbs assures Will Driscoll that although he’s the focus of school gossip, it’s only in a good way and everyone’s saying nice things about him. Aware that they were both victims of Megan, Daniel Osbourne and Will agree to bury the hatchet.
Meanwhile, Sam Blakeman apologises to Nick Tilsely for overreacting and accepts that he only wanted the best for him, and he knows he is in the best place. Later, Hope calls at the Rovers and tells Will she’s going to visit Sam after school, and he’d be welcome to come too. Can Will summon the courage to go?
Also in Weatherfield, at No.11, George Shuttleworth apologises profusely to Summer Spellman for ever suspecting her capable of murder and swears that he’ll make it up to her. As Christina Boyd goes to put the kettle on, her phone vibrates. Her face drops when she sees who it is and quickly kills the call.

When George suggests a romantic dinner at the bistro later, Christina turns him down, making out that she’s taken on another cleaning job. George is disappointed. But what is Christina really up to?
As the week unfolds, still suspicious about Christina, Glenda Shuttleworth rifles through her handbag whilst Christina is in the loos at Roy’s Rolls and she’s shocked at what she finds.
Concerned about Christina’s behaviour, George follows Christina to the precinct. He watches in horror as she meets up with a man and embraces him. It’s not long before George bounds over, demanding to know what’s going on.
Eventually, Christina confesses to George exactly how much trouble she is in. George advises her to come clean to her friends and hopes they will understand.
And last, but by no means least, DS Lisa Connor-Swain calls at No.11 and tells Todd Grimshaw that they’ve reached a bit of a stalemate with regard to Theo’s murder. But when Todd shows little interest, Lisa becomes suspicious.
Meanwhile, as Kit is frustrated to be taken off Theo’s murder case, Lisa and McLaughlin visit Maria Windass at the salon to go over her statement again. Sticking to her story that she was with her husband, Gary, she heads home and insists that Gary tell her everything about the night. In the Rovers, Maria confides in Kit that things between her and Gary aren’t good and she’s sick of all his secrets and lies.
Also, Betsy Swain calls at Speed Daal and tells Dylan Wilson that she’s going to watch him while he works, as they need to grab every last minute they can before she moves to London.
