As the fall-out from Emma Brooker and Curtis Delamere's Christmas wedding continues, Emma is faced with another challenge when she and Faye Windass – who returns to the cobbles next week – make a terrible mistake.

This time, it's Emma who agrees to keep quiet about what the pair have been up to.

Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Sarah Platt and Adam Baldwin hope to cement their relationship by starting a family, but when Sarah's new friend Lydia turns out to have a connection to Adam's past, the couple's plans may have to be put on hold.

Zeedan Nazir is also set for some relationship drama, when his ex-wife Marrium arrives on the street wanting answers.

Meanwhile, Tim Metcalfe suffers a health scare that leaves him worried. Rather than talk to his wife Sally about what's happened, he decides to keep the truth a secret – but how will Sally react when she realises she's the last person to know?

Fresh starts all round, eh?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
