Adam at rock bottom
After being arrested for harassing his ‘mistress’ and trashing her house, agitated Adam is at pains to point out he’s being set up by loopy Lydia to make him look like the baddie, and she’s the one pulling the strings on a vengeful smear campaign.
His creepily clever ex has left no stone unturned and as the fabricated evidence continues to stack up, Adam’s professional reputation starts to suffer thanks to the scandal. A client reports him and threatens to get the solicitor struck off, and while Adam vows to clear his name livid Lydia privately tells Adam she’s not done yet… What will her next move be?

She left 18 months ago after Daniel gave her a wad of cash to put prostitution behind her and start afresh away from Weatherfield – now she’s back.
Nicky asks after her ex at the Rovers and is told he’s moved down south, a fib from barmaid Daisy who is now dating Daniel and doesn’t want a rival for his affections. Daisy’s deceit is exposed when Daniel sees Nicky at Weatherfield High where she’s applying for a job. Mr O confronts his girlfriend and insists him and Nicky are just mates, but is Ms Midgeley right to be jealous?
Elsewhere on Coronation Street

Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) thinks her partner banning the boy from chess is a bit harsh, so she lets him carry on letting Roy Cropper (David Neilson) coach him in secret and lies to Nick that Sam has joined an after-school club. He won’t thank you for lying, Lee.
- With Glory’s first birthday approaching Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) decides to try and find her absent mum Grace, believing his daughter needs both parents in her life.
