The pensioner initially seemed fine, insisting he didn\u2019t need to go to the hospital as the pair took him home.<\/p>\n<p>But when Emma and Faye later returned to check on Ted, they were horrified to find that he had passed away. Instead of reporting the incident, they covered their tracks; but Faye eventually admitted everything to her policeman boyfriend Craig Tinker (Colson Smith). Craig helped cover up the crime, before quitting his job.<\/p>\n<p>But as the trio attempted to move on, Emma secretly attended Ted\u2019s funeral and met a kindred spirit in his grandson Jon. They formed a romantic spark, but <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/coronation-street\/emma-brooker-jon-secret-coronation-street-newsupdate\/&quot;\">as their connection was revealed tonight<\/a>, Jon recognised Craig from the aftermath of his grandad\u2019s death. The flatmates scrambled to come up with an alternative excuse as to where Jon had seen him before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\"

increasingly suspicious Jon he was just a fling, and that she had no real feelings for him, leaving him confused.<\/p>\n<p>As Emma returned home, she was heartbroken over what she had done. She felt she had lost her last chance at love, as Jon was the best of the bunch when it came to her romantic relationships. She was further hurt by Faye\u2019s lack of concern for her as she continued to probe Emma over what Jon might do about Craig.<\/p> <p>Asked how Emma would cope with being locked up, Alexandra Mardell recently told <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/&quot;\"><strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong><\/a> and other media: \u201cOh gosh, it would not be good, I feel like she would be targeted straight away, poor Emma!Is this really the last they will see of Jon?
