Coronation Street spoilers as gun fired, Betsy plots exit and Sarah confronted

Someone is also plotting a proposal in Weatherfield according to new spoilers for the ITV soap

There is already a murder investigation underway, but is there set to be another in Coronation Street as a gun is unexpectedly fired next week?

The drama starts to unfold when a bitter Kevin Webster tells Carl Webster he’s received a letter from another garage requesting a reference for him, and he can whistle for it. Soon, Carl takes a call from Fiona Morley offering him some more dodgy work. Will Carl return to his dark side?

Meanwhile, as Kevin watches a video of Ruby Dobbs on Tyrone Dobbs’ phone, he inadvertently accesses the video of Carl sabotaging the brakes on his car. Without a thought, Kevin storms over to Carl and reveals he knows what he did.

Hearing the commotion, Tyrone and Ronnie Bailey, who knows what happened to Carl as he was the one to take and leave him at the hospital, hurry over, leaving Kevin incandescent to learn they were fully aware of Carl’s crimes.

Ronnie suggests that for Debbie’s sake, they all bury the hatchet, but Kevin refuses point-blank and, picking up a wrench, advances on Carl. But in a major twist, Carl pulls out the package he picked up from Fiona to reveal a gun.

The men stare at the gun as Ronnie asserts nobody’s going anywhere until they’ve found a resolution. Convinced the gun is a fake, Kevin picks it up and aims it at Carl, leaving Ronnie horrified. As he tries to wrestle it from him, the gun goes off, and they all react in horror. Has the bullet struck? And will Debbie find out what Carl has been up to this time?

While this is going on, an excited Sally Metcalfe, Glenda Shuttleworth and Christina Boyd assemble with their cases packed, a text from Ronnie informs them that it’s all systems go. What has he got planned? Later at the hotel, Sally, Glenda, Christina, and Bernie Winter are nursing hangovers. Debbie tries in vain to call Ronnie, and when Christina’s phone buzzes, she kills the call. Pointing out they’re here to have a good time, Glenda orders them to switch off their phones.

Later, Debbie wakes from a horrible nightmare, reliving the horror with the gun at the garage. As Tracy Barlow and Debbie argue over a flower order. Tracy blames Debbie’s dementia for the confusion. Her stress is building, and Debbie lets slip to the parents of the gender reveal party the hotel is hosting that the baby is a boy, as she read it on the balloon order. As Ryan Connor apologises, the balloon suddenly pops, and convinced it was gunfire, Debbie freaks out.

Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Maria Windass spots husband Gary and Sarah Platt sharing a hug as Gary asserts they must delete all their messages. Maria watches them with suspicion, but can she find proof that they’re having an affair? Later, Maria opens up to Fiz Dobbs and Izzy Armstrong about her suspicion that Gary is having an affair with Sarah.

Meanwhile, Todd tells Sarah that Maria suspects her of having an affair with Gary, while a sombre-looking Maria tells Gary that they need to talk. Masking his unease, Gary suggests they meet for a curry later. As the week draws to a close, Gary reveals he’s booked a surprise holiday for the whole family.

Izzy, Jake and Liam are thrilled, whilst Maria’s suspicious. Maria confides in Izzy that she suspects Gary is cheating on her with Sarah and booked the holiday to appease his guilt.

And speaking of Sarah, Kit Green confides in her daughter, Bethany Platt, that he’s thinking of asking Sarah to marry him and when Harry admits to Kit that he likes having him around, Kit assures him the feeling is mutual. Later, Kit admires the engagement ring he’s bought for Sarah.

Also next week, in the Rovers, Sean Tully refuses to serve Brody Michaelis, his son Dylan Wilson and Betsy Swain, aware that Brody’s underage. Instead, the gang heads to the precinct, but when three rough lads approach and demand they hand over the cans they’ve bought, Brody orders Dylan and Betsy to scarper whilst he sprints in the opposite direction with the lads going after him.

Meanwhile, Betsy tells Lauren Bolton she’s been offered a place at the London College of Fashion, but she’s worried about leaving Dylan. How will he react to the news? Betsy also admits she’s yet to break the news to her mum, Lisa Connor-Swain. Eventually, Betsy tells Lisa and wife Carla about the offer. Carla’s delighted for her, but will Lisa share her enthusiasm?

And Nick Tilsley reels in shock as he waits for news of his son. Nick turns on Ben Driscoll and Eva Price, citing Megan Walsh’s court case as the root of Sam’s problems. Eva assures Ben that they don’t need Sam’s help with the court case, and that Will Driscoll will smash it by himself.

Later, Nick’s horrified to realise the extent of Sam’s suffering. Nick once again lashes out at Ben, blaming him for failing to spot Megan’s crimes sooner and therefore causing Sam unnecessary suffering. But at the end of the week, it seems Sam may turn a corner as he tells Nick he’d like to see Roy Cropper.
