knocked over in a car accident.<\/p>\n<p>The pair later returned to Ted\u2019s flat and were shocked to find him dead, but <a

way, and Emma <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/coronation-street\/coronation-street-spoilers-next-week-gary-neelan\/&quot;\">formed a romantic relationship with him<\/a> unbeknown to both Faye and Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), who gave up his police career to protect their secret.<\/p>\n<p>As Emma struggles to juggle her deceit with her love life, things are set to get worse when Jon meets Faye and Craig, and the truth spills out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\">
