Coronation Street Blog: Preview of tonight's Coronation Street

FRIDAY 19TH NOVEMBER

THE GOOD SHIP LILY-POP SAILS INTO DANGER Nick confides in David that he’s hoping to reignite Sam’s interest in his telescope. Max suggests that he and Lily could join him. At the sight of his telescope, Sam’s face lights up. But when Nick reveals that Max and Lily will be joining them, Sam’s smile fades. Max puts the finishing touches to his film and uploads it onto his social media. In the cafe, a horrified Summer, together with Roy and Nina, watches Max’s film; a documentary of the night of the sewer collapse, suggesting a conspiracy theory linking Johnny’s and Natasha’s deaths. Summer rails at Max, demanding he take down his terrible video for Sam’s sake, if nothing else. Lily locks Sam out on the balcony and dangling the key in front of him. As Lily sucks on a lollipop and taunts Sam through the glass door, suddenly the lollipop comes away from the stick causing Lily to choke.

DEBBIE DELVES INTO RAY’S PAST FOR FAYE Debbie visits Ray in prison and tells him that unless he pleads guilty to sexually assaulting Faye, she’s going to report him to the police for the death of Johnny Connor.

ROY TRIES TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE Roy calls Sally, Maria and NIna together and after showing them Max’s awful video, suggests they need to do something positive for the community by reinstating the Christmas Market and giving a portion of the proceeds to a charity

ELSEWHERE Daisy and Daniel tell Jenny that they’ve broken up. Stu comes across Kelly scavenging for food and offers to show her where she can get a decent meal for free.

FRIDAY 19TH NOVEMBER

ROY IS STRUCK BY SAM’S SILENCE Whilst Lily continues to choke, Sam watches, frozen to the spot. Will Sam overcome his silence to save Lily?

RAY CHANGES HIS PLEA Debbie tells Ray that she knows he paid Colin to create the sinkhole in the Platts’ garden so he’s got until the end of the day to choose between sexual assault or manslaughter, will her plan work?

DAISY PLAYS AWAY In the Rovers, Jenny attempts to matchmake between Daisy and Ashley, County’s new player. Daniel watches on, jealously. Daisy calls at the corner shop flat where a sulky Daniel admits he was jealous of her flirting with Ashley. Promising she’ll make it up to him, Daisy leads Daniel into the bedroom.

DAVID AND NICK STRUGGLE WITH THEIR BOYS Having found out from Nick about the video nasty, a furious David rounds on Max. At No.8, David orders Max to hand over his phone as he clearly can’t be trusted with it. A furious Max takes a swing at David and stomps upstairs.

ELSEWHERE When Carla moans to Nina about Johnny’s decision to leave her out of his will, Roy suddenly snaps at her. Toyah and Imran are relieved to find out from Aadi that Kelly is staying at her Mum’s. When Stu reveals his part in nailing Corey for Seb’s murder, Kelly gives nothing away.
