Beyond this week, we’re looking forward to the new few months of exciting Corrie drama. Here’s what’s to come on the cobbles.

3. Shock court scenes

Many Coronation Street stars have been spotted filming shock court scenes. What’s happening in court is currently a mystery. But, the only real thing that connected all the characters who were filming was Megan.

So, could this finally be her facing justice? Some fans noticed that the character of Maggie wasn’t alongside the others. They feared this confirmed she was going to be the mystery death.

However, some other fans predicted that the reason she – or Megan – weren’t seen was because they think it’s Maggie’s trial, and she had just killed Megan.

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.

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.”
