4. Trauma for Betsy

After finding a dead body on the cobbles on the night of April 23, Betsy Swain’s traumatised by the whole event.

She’s also preparing for a ‘coming of age’ storyline involving Dylan Wilson, and she’ll turn brunette too! We wonder what’s in store for the character?!

In coming weeks, Betsy will announce her plan to go to a London Fashion College. We have a feeling this might not work out though.

5. Sarah’s guilt

Sarah Platt has now been revealed to viewers as Theo Silverton’s killer.

Now Todd knows what she did but has vowed to keep it a secret. But, he wants nothing to do with her.

As the police investigation continues, can Sarah successfully carry on with her freedom without being caught? And, how long will it be before Kit Green finds out what she did?

7. Love interest for Leanne Battersby

Leanne loves to keep it in the family when she chooses her lovers. First she fell for Kal Nazir and now, years later, she’s about to catch the eye of Alya’s cousin Idris.

Corrie producer Kate Brooks told Digital Spy: “Idris is very charming – the charm oozes out of every pore of this guy!

“He’s a savvy businessman and he’s got a bit of a ruthless streak. He’s not ready to get his hands even slightly dirty! But he can charm the birds from the trees.

“Idris is a new love interest for Leanne. The attraction is instantaneous. It gives Leanne a new lease of life. She’s been harbouring a deep-rooted resentment towards Toyah and Nick, because that’s the life she had.”
