Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow from Monday’s episode (20 April)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet.<\/p>\n

Today’s episode starts with a major shock for Debbie, when she receives a call to let her know that Carl has been admitted to hospital.<\/p>\n

She immediately guesses that her husband, Ronnie, must be to blame following months of tension between the two men. When Carl is interviewed by the police, he makes out that he can’t remember who assaulted him.<\/p>\n

There’s no family loyalty at play, though, as Carl is already plotting how to make a fortune from this situation\u2026<\/p>\n

In a tense chat with Debbie at the hospital, he explains: “I told them it’s all a bit fuzzy. Depending on how this chat goes, my memory might come flooding back.”<\/p>\n

As he continues to twist the knife, Carl adds: “Unless you want to spend what limited time you have left<\/a> talking to Ronnie behind glass, then you’re gonna have to give up the one thing you’ve truly loved.<\/p>\n

“I want half of that hotel written over to me. Not in a will. Now.”<\/p>\n

Later this week, Carl wastes no time before making his presence felt at the hotel – even before Debbie has signed any paperwork.<\/p>\n

Carl winds up his long-time rival Ryan Connor by bossing him around in the Chariot Square bar, then sacking him<\/a> when he refuses to cooperate.<\/p>\n

Debbie has her own idea<\/a> to resolve the situation – warning Carl that he’s not getting his hands on her hotel. When she offers Carl the chance to take some money – in exchange for leaving and never coming back – will he accept the deal?<\/p>\n

Or will things take an even darker turn, with Carl one of five characters<\/a> who could be killed off on the day of Carla Connor and Lisa Swain’s wedding<\/a> this fortnight?<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
