There\u2019s quite the week of drama ahead in Coronation Street.<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) is put on the spot by Gail Platt (Helen Worth) and urged to lend his niece money. Desperate, his lies soon begin to spiral\u2026<\/p>\n

Additionally, the ghost of John Stape looms once again as Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) celebrate a momentous occasion.<\/p>\n

Troublingly, Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) threatens far-right extremist Griff (Michael Condron) over his recent racism-fueled behaviour. Naturally, he twists it to his advantage, but how far is he willing to go?<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) continues to conceal the truth about her pregnancy, Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) proposes changing the Christmas markets, and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) and Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) are locked into their unique brand of endless bickering.<\/p>\n

Finally, Martha Fraser (Stephanie Beacham) offers her legendary coaching to a distressed Mary Taylor (Patti Clare), but Ken Barlow (William Roache) faces a predicament when there\u2019s an unmistakable chemistry with Martha.<\/p>\n

Read on for all you need to know on Coronation Street from 5th \u2013 9th December 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>

Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) is curious when he sees Stephen and Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) enter the caf\u00e9. As Elaine reassures Tim that Stephen is honest, Stephen retrieves his phone. Lying to Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) and Gail, he makes out he had one too much to drink, fell on his arm and slept at a friend\u2019s place for the night. Having googled Six Fellas, Gail confronts Stephen about the call from his boss.<\/p>\n

Tim later interrogates Stephen about his intentions towards Elaine, explaining her terrible time with Geoff and how he used to control her.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sarah is disheartened after she meets with a potential investor, but it goes wrong. Having told them how great her proposal is, Gail and Audrey pressure Stephen to invest the \u00a310k Sarah needs.<\/p>\n

How will Stephen lie his way out of this one?<\/p>\n

2. John Stape\u2019s presence is felt as Tyrone Dobbs proposes to Fiz<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) is back at school following her suspension, but difficulties arise as the school counsellor questions Fiz and Tyrone about their family background.<\/p>\n

Later, Tyrone decides to propose to Fiz and the pair go on to celebrate their engagement. However, they\u2019re interrupted by the appearance of the journalist who wrote the book about the life and crimes of John Stape.<\/p>\n

Apologising to the couple, the author hands over a bag to Fiz and explains it contains all his research into John.<\/p>\n

In response, Fiz asks her brother Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) to hide the bag of research, but troublesome Hope later finds it and suggests to cousin Joseph Brown (William Flanagan) and her best friend Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) that they hold a s\u00e9ance to contact her late father.<\/p>\n

As the s\u00e9ance unfolds, Joseph reaches into a cupboard and stumbles across the bag of research. The trio stare at the photos of the killer, understandably distressed.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, Fiz and Tyrone go on to present Hope with a birthday gift in the form of a new laptop, however Hope has other things on her mind and asks about an old cassette player, and manages to get one later in a game of pass the parcel.\u00a0 Later, Hope runs home and listens to a recording.<\/p>\n

Finally, Tyrone has a plan after Fiz admits her anxiety about all of the wedding planning to come, revealing to Chesney that he\u2019s moved their wedding to Christmas Day as a surprise. Which is more chaotic: a soap Christmas wedding or a\u00a0s\u00e9ance with a murderer?<\/p>\n

3. Griff threatens Alya Nazir when she gets him fired<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After Griff\u2019s recent campaign of racist abuse and attacks, Alya confronts him over his racist behaviour and threatens to call his employer. Griff threatens her and warns her that she\u2019ll live to regret it if she does.<\/p>\n

As things progress, Griff twists Alya\u2019s public condemnation when he stages an attack by four Muslim men. Max Turner (Paddy Bever) becomes even more embroiled when Griff instructs him to upload a video of his injuries with added racist commentary.<\/p>\n

Will anyone be able to stop Griff\u2019s plan to radicalize Max further?<\/p>\n

4. Summer Spellman struggles to keep her secret from coming out<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In response, councillor Len Cameron (Mark Murphy) opposes her plans but Maria vetoes him, prompting him to grow only more angry with her.<\/p>\n

The good fight continues\u2026<\/p>\n

Afterwards, when Martha invites them all to join her at a play that evening, Ken suggests that his love interest Wendy Papadopoulos (Roberta Kerr) doesn\u2019t have the time to attend, but he\u2019d be delighted to go along.<\/p>\n

However, the obvious chemistry between Ken and Martha concerns Brian Packham (Peter Gunn). Is a love triangle for the ages emerging? And is Wendy set to be heartbroken?<\/p>\n

With Steve and Tim still at each other\u2019s throats, Eileen is totally frustrated with their behaviour.<\/p>\n

At Dylan Wilson\u2019s (Liam McCheyne) suggestion, Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) invites his boyfriend Laurence Reeves (Robert Shaw Cameron) to join them for Christmas.<\/p>\n
