Coronation Street spoilers have promised chockablock drama in the days to come, with an unexpected exit, a blossoming romance, and a paternity test on the cards.
Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) is forced to question the identity of his father, while Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) wears his heart on his sleeve in an emotional plea to Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank).
Elsewhere, Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) tries to win Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) back, at the same time as Asha Alahan (Tanisha Corey) feels her heart break for a second time.
And, topping things off, Faye Windass’ (Ellie Leach) court date looms, leaving knots in her stomach as she fears getting sent behind bars.
It all kicks off in the Bailey family when uncle Ronnie (Vinta Morgan) refuses to remain tightlipped on his long-ago affair with Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw).
He tells Michael everything, leaving the new dad stricken as he tries to figure out who his real father is.
Debating whether or not to take a paternity test, Michael assures Ed Bailey (Trevor Michael Georges) he will always be his real father, and proceeds to lash out at his uncle Ronnie.
If Michael goes ahead with the test, who will be revealed as his genuine biological father?
Across the street, Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) is devastated when her son Todd informs her he plans to move away, unable to hide his feelings for Billy any longer.
He gives Billy an ultimatum, asking him to give their relationship another go – only for the priest to admit he is still in love with Paul Foreman (Peter Ash).
After a night out, Paul claims he has met someone else in order to push Billy away, even though he is secretly still madly in love with him.
As Todd threatens to move away, will Billy follow his heart or his head – or are they both telling him the same thing?
Mr Grimshaw isn’t the only one to get his feelings trampled this week, as Asha reluctantly reunites with her toxic ex Corey Brent (Maximus Evans).
When she sees Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) going on a date with Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni), she realises she doesn’t have feelings for Corey anymore.
If Nina and Seb become more serious, will Asha be able to handle the heartache?
Joining the Coronation Street Broken Hearts club will be Fiz Brown (Jenny McAlpine), as she tries desperately to reignite the spark in her relationship with Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall).
The pair head out for lunch together, but the two quickly realise there is nothing between them but tension.
Forcing Tyrone to choose her over Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu), Fiz orders him to tell the young beautician she needs to move away from Weatherfield.
Will Fiz’s demands drive an even bigger wedge through her soured romance with Tyrone?
When it comes to matters of the heart, Nick Tilsley is similarly down on his luck, as Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) instructs him to move on from Leanne.
His ex Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac) seizes the opportunity and invites him to move into her home with their son Sam, becoming a family unit.
However, Nick’s feelings for Leanne prove too strong, and he resolves to tell her he is still crazy in love with her.
Will Leanne agree to give their relationship another shot, or has that ship sailed?

Will Ray get his just desserts, or could Faye get tangled up in a horrific miscarriage of justice?
