Coronation Street Blog: Preview of tonight's Coronation Street

FRIDAY 1ST OCTOBER

IMRAN IS CAUGHT IN HIS OWN WEB OF LIES Imran tells Toyah he can’t meet her for lunch as he is too busy in the office. Michael suggests she surprises him with a takeaway lunch but when she arrives at the office Adam tells her he hasn't been in the office all day and went to the Rovers. Toyah marches out on a mission. What will she find?

KEVIN FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE Frustrated that Corey’s promotion to the first team and that his anonymity remains protected, Kevin, Nina and Asha agree that his County teammates should be made aware of the truth about him. Kevin asks James to have a discreet word with County’s manager as the team deserves to know they are playing alongside a murderer but when that fails Kevin resolves to speak to the manager himself. Tim offers to accompany him. Kevin reckons Corey getting thrown out of County might bring Abi home.

THE PLATTS STAGE AN INTERVENTION Audrey meets Rita in the cafe, apologises for damaging her car and offers to pay for the repairs. She takes offence when Rita suggests she maybe needs her eyes testing. Gail convinces David and Sarah to stage an intervention to get to the bottom of Audrey’s problem. Summoning Audrey to No.8, Gail’s hoping for a civilised discussion. Will she get her wish?

ELSEWHERE Nina’s a bundle of nerves ahead of her college interview. Roy steels himself to deliver the latest update on Corey. Sally’s aggrieved to see a local councillor, who ignored her concerns about local traffic, parking his car on the street before catching a tram.

FRIDAY 1ST OCTOBER

IMRAN’S LIES COME BACK TO HAUNT HIM Imran tells Toyah that he spent the night of the trial at Sabeen’s house but nothing happened. Sabeen backs him up but is intrigued as she knows he didn’t stay there the whole night. Sabeen makes it clear she expects him to reconsider working on Harvey’s appeal. Imran feels dreadful when Toyah apologises for speaking to Sabeen behind his back. As Toyah advocates total openness in the future, Imran swallows his guilty secret.

KEVIN IS FORCED TO CALL OFF THE PROTEST Tim and Kevin accost County’s manager outside the ground but Bob’s quick to remind them that Corey was acquitted in a court of law. Having learned of Kevin’s attempts to wreck Corey’s reputation at County, Stefan calls at the garage to warn him off. Seeing the strain his pal’s under, Tim urges him to forget about justice for Abi and focus on his life with Jack. Tim tells Nina that Kevin’s a broken man and urges them both to back down for the sake of their sanity, but is Nina ready to abandon the fight?

AUDREY FINDS A SURPRISE ALLY Audrey refuses to be bullied into having an eye test, telling Gail in no uncertain terms that all her organs are in perfect working order.

ELSEWHERE Nina clumsily reminds Asha she sees her purely as a mate. Asha’s quick to assert that she’s totally happy with how things turned out. Aadi’s shocked when Asha bursts into tears, devastated that Nina doesn’t want her. Aadi suggests she could find somebody else to date. Sally pesters Fergus to join her crusade, pointing out the potential for issuing penalty notices once residents’ parking gets enforced.
