Coronation Street Blog: Preview of tonight's Coronation Street

Monday November 30th

RAY USES FAYE TO HIS ADVANTAGE Faye arrives at Ray’s hotel ready for work. When Faye reveals Sally’s changed her mind about selling the house, Ray’s quietly fuming. Cunning Ray tells Faye that he can sort Sally out with a house in Hale Barns at a significant discount. Faye shows Sally and Tim the property details for the house in Hale Barns. Sally’s bowled over and tells Tim they’re definitely moving. Having sold the house to Roxy, Sally waves her off. Abi recognises Roxy and confides in Debbie that she suspects Ray is trying to buy up the whole street.

LEANNE COPES WHILE STEVE STRUGGLES When George calls at Nick and Leanne’s flat to discuss Oliver’s funeral arrangements, Leanne manically goes over all the funeral details with George. Tracy finds Nick alone in the cafe. When Nick reveals how Leanne is busy arranging the funeral, Tracy’s concerned that Steve should be involved too.

TIM FINALLY SEES RED On the street, Geoff intentionally goads Tim, telling him that even as a child he knew he’d never amount to anything. Tim falls for it and punches him.

ELSEWHERE Imran visits Yasmeen and breaks the news that Paula has been signed off work. Yasmeen refuses to delay the trial and insists Imran represents her instead.

ABI SMELLS A RAT Ray drives Faye back to the street. Abi confides in Craig that she doesn’t trust Ray and Craig reveals that he saw some incriminating paperwork on Ray’s desk. Abi searches Ray’s office and, finding an interesting invoice, pockets it. At No.13, Abi shows Kevin and Sally the invoice she found in Ray’s office. Having called a colleague on the council, Sally confirms that a planning application has been submitted to knock down half the street. Debbie warns Ray that Abi is onto them but she’s damned if she’s going to let her ruin their plans.

TRACY CAN’T GET THROUGH TO STEVE Tracy tells Steve how Leanne is planning a celebration of Oliver’s life. Showing little interest, Steve heads back to bed. Leanne tells Nick that she’d welcome his support at Oliver’s funeral but after that, they need to work out the terms of their separation.

TIM IS ROCKED BY NEWS FROM THE POLICE Geoff takes a selfie of his bloodied nose. Imran and Alya are horrified to hear that Tim punched Geoff and point out that he’s no longer a credible witness. When Tim takes a call from the police telling him that they’ve found Elaine but she’s been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, Alya realises her Gran’s defence is well and truly scuppered.
