Coronation Street's Lorna Laidlaw has teased some "devastating" scenes for her character Aggie Bailey and Grace Vickers in upcoming episodes.
In this week's scenes, Grace (Kate Spencer) will cause further concern for the Bailey family when they learn that she has left baby Glory home alone in order to enjoy herself at the Weatherfield Christmas market.
Grace has been in a feud with Glory's grandparents Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) and Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw) in recent weeks, ever since splitting from Glory's dad Michael (Ryan Russell), and things are set to reach a head this week when Aggie tells Grace that she won't be babysitting Glory for her any time soon.

Instead, Grace decides to leave Glory home alone while she heads out but a concerned Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) soon realises what's happened and orders Grace to go home and take care of her daughter.
Later, Bernie also lets Aggie know about Grace's behaviour, and Aggie is both horrified and furious, with actress Lorna Laidlow admitting that "there a lot of things going on in Aggie's head" when she finds out what Grace has done.
"She is furious over the sofa but this is another level. Aggie is really disappointed but she is also really angry on a level that the sofa situation can’t even compare with," Laidlaw explained.
"She is concerned about her granddaughter because Aggie is a nurse and there is a health and safety issue here with a child. Aggie knows if she calls social services there will be massive problems and so she is in turmoil because she feels like if it was someone else's child that was in this situation she would have called the authorities.
"She has given Grace the benefit of the doubt at every opportunity to put things right and Grace is still so dismissive of Aggie so Aggie is feeling full of regret."
After Aggie learns the truth, it's not long before she confronts Grace and threatens to report Grace to social services for child neglect. Soon, admits to Aggie that she never actually wanted a baby and has a shock proposition for Aggie, with Lorna saying that Grace's proposal leaves Aggie heartbroken.
"It absolutely tears Aggie's heart apart. Regardless of whether it's her grandchild or not, in any circumstances the proposal is awful. Aggie takes it really badly and it really upsets her," she continued.
"When she first hears it from Grace, she is absolutely disgusted that she would even make such a suggestion and she also thinks, is this legal? Her mind is going all over the place. It's devastating."

Speaking about what's next for the Bailey family, Lorna admitted that, in Aggie's ideal world, Grace would no longer be involved in their lives.
"Aggie would like Grace out of the picture," she shared. "Aggie knows that Grace and Michael have got to a point in their relationship where it is not working and Grace is staying around because she wants to be with him but he doesn't want to be with her so it is very disruptive for a little child to grow up in that environment.
"Grace isn't doing anyone any favours by doing that."
Lorna continued: "Michael is such a good dad and he absolutely wants to be there for his daughter and it's not the most ideal situation but he has got a lot of support around him.
"But Grace is quite toxic and as much as the Baileys have tried to support Grace as much as they can, it has never really worked out because her motives are not to be a part of the family, her motive is to be with Michael full stop."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
