Corrie's Natasha makes plans to take over Weatherfield business

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street's Natasha Blakeman will come up with a big plan to put down more roots in Weatherfield next week, as she decides that she wants to buy the salon.

Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) is intrigued when Natasha (Rachel Leskovac) mentions to him that she is thinking about buying the closed salon, so that she and son Sam (Jude Riordan) can be closer to his dad Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) and the rest of the Platt family on a more permanent basis.

However, Natasha's business plans are dealt a major blow when Gail Rodwell (Helen Worth) reminds Natasha that she previously promised to pay to get the sinkhole in the Platts' garden fixed after having an awkward mix-up with Gail.

Natasha is despondent but, later on in the Rovers, Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) cracks open a bottle of fizz and reveals that she has decided to pay for the sinkhole repairs instead, so that Natasha can fulfil her dream of buying the salon.

Natasha is absolutely thrilled by the news, as this means that she can now set the wheels in motion to take on the salon where she used to work during her previous stint on the cobbles.

When Nick and his partner Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) return to the street later, they find Natasha busy taking photos of the salon. When she reveals to the pair that she is in the process of buying the business, they are delighted for her.

Are Natasha and Sam about to become more permanent residents of Weatherfield?

The news comes after actress Rachel revealed that she would love Natasha to take over the running of the salon, joking that she is keen to see David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) working for her character.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Audrey will get around to arranging the sinkhole repairs before the cavern causes more unstable ground to shift around it during the upcoming Super Soap Week.

As an enormous storm hits Weatherfield during Debbie Webster's House of Horrors attraction, the sinkhole will give way, trapping four characters in the underground Victorian sewers where they are forced to fight for their lives as water continues to pour in.

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, October 11, Wednesday, October 13 and Friday, October 15 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
