The end is nigh and, while we are far from ready to say goodbye to the legendary Gail Platt (Helen Worth), it’s time to face facts – her exit storyline is underway next week.
She is surprised to see Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson) in Weatherfield and it emerges that she connected with him years ago in Thailand.
Which all becomes awkward as, you may recall, he is the ex of Gail’s on/off enemy Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).
But what does Jesse want with Gail and are his intentions pure?
It comes amid a huge gesture from Gail to pay for Bethany’s (Lucy Fallon) medical bills and, as she faces up to her life changing forever, emotional Bethany has some more decisions to make.
Meanwhile, the end has come knocking for someone else, but the perplexing nature of Joel Deering’s (Calum Lill) death weighs heavily – could a shock discovery add a new revelation to how he came to his fate?
For Carla Connor (Alison King) there is confusion too as her feelings develop for DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), particularly after a tender moment takes her aback.
In a busy week, she is also taken hostage!
It’s all go in Weatherfield…
