7 Coronation Street spoilers for 18th 22nd December 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Jenny and Daisy save The Rovers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jenny and Carla fail to persuade Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) to hand over Stephen Reid\u2019s (Todd Boyce) journal, but Daisy tells Jenny not to give up, as she deserves a cut of the money Stephen took after what he put her through.<\/p>\n

Daisy adds that it could help her buy The Rovers back, and the devious young woman forms a plan when she realises that all the Platts are in the Bistro. Having stolen David Platt\u2019s (Jack P Shepherd) keys, Daisy lets herself into the house and searches for the journal.<\/p>\n

But when Audrey arrives, Daisy is forced to run upstairs!<\/p>\n

As the week continues, Jenny asks Carla if she\u2019ll lend her the money to apply for a mortgage and buy back The Rovers. How will Carla respond?<\/p>\n

Later, Jenny and Daisy tell Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) that they\u2019re going to the bank to secure a loan to buy back the pub, and they later tell Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) and Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) that the bank agreed, and The Rovers will soon be theirs once more.<\/p>\n

Jenny explains to Daisy that Waterfords has received another offer, so they\u2019ll have to submit a sealed bid. And we know that, based on Corrie boss Iain MacLeod\u2019s words, The Rovers will be back in the hands of those who love it<\/a> soon\u2026<\/p>\n

2. Ed is attacked as the Baileys\u2019 Christmas is scuppered<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Baileys vow to make Christmas special for young Glory, although matriarch Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw) can\u2019t make it home for the festive season.<\/p>\n

Ed promises dad Sarge (Ram John Holder) that he\u2019ll have the \u00a31k he promised to lend him soon, while Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) arrives with the cash he owes Ed, who is relieved that he can finally pay worker Tony.<\/p>\n

But when Sarge spots the cash he assumes it\u2019s for him, and Ronnie (Vinta Morgan) hands Ed some cash for drinks at the Bistro. A furious Tony spots him flashing the cash instead of paying him, and he corners Ed, making it clear he wants his money the next day.<\/p>\n

Ed is desperate to get away from his problems, and packs a bag, telling Aggie he is coming to spend Christmas with her in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

But when Ed opens the front door, he\u2019s met with a menacing Tony, who barges in and threatens to tell Aggie everything when Ed\u2019s phone flashes up with a call from his wife. Ed makes a grab for the phone, but Tony punches him, knocking him to the floor!<\/p>\n

In the Bistro, an oblivious Michael (Ryan Russell) shows Ronnie and Sarge the watch he\u2019s bought Ed, engraved with the words: \u2018For the World\u2019s Best Dad. Our Hero.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ronnie thinks it\u2019s perfect, but the Baileys soon return home to find Ed nursing a cut lip, and all the presents are gone.<\/p>\n

Dee-Dee calls the police, and Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) goes over the details of the burglary with Ed, who claims he forgot to lock the back door. Is this all Tony\u2019s doing?<\/p>\n

3. Peter\u2019s upsetting admission as Carla steps up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Peter opens up to Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) as he hides a letter from the hospital. He admits that he can\u2019t stop obsessing over Stephen\u2019s death, and Tim comes up with an idea for a distraction as they head to the hot tub at his place.<\/p>\n

Tim advises Peter to forget Stephen and focus on the good in his life, but Peter also confides that he\u2019s worried his relationship with Carla has run its course, as she\u2019s preoccupied with the factory.<\/p>\n

Tim urges Peter not to give up, and Carla returns home with a date night supper for two. But Peter\u2019s happiness is dampened when Carla leaves to check the factory after a call about the alarm.<\/p>\n

As the week continues, Carla is surprised when she finds Peter cleaning the flat after he said he was too busy to have lunch with her.<\/p>\n

Peter reveals he\u2019s arranged to meet the mother of his liver donor, and Carla insists she\u2019ll stay. Peter admits to Valerie that he\u2019s an alcoholic and her son\u2019s liver saved his life.<\/p>\n

Later, Peter explains he\u2019s got a support group meeting, and Carla offers to join him. Once there, Peter admits he\u2019s lost all interest in life and every day has become a chore, and Carla is heartbroken by her husband\u2019s despair.<\/p>\n

Carla shows Michael the present she\u2019s bought Peter for Christmas, and Michael is flabbergasted. What has she bought?<\/p>\n

4. Ryan leaves the cobbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) is shocked when Crystal Hyde (Erin Austen) reveals that she and Ryan are moving to Glasgow. The following day, an emotional Carla and Debbie wave Ryan off as he leaves for Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Daisy watches sadly as his taxi disappears from view, but is this really the last we\u2019ll see of Ryan?<\/p>\n

As yet, Coronation Street hasn\u2019t confirmed a permanent exit for the character, and we know that Daisy\u2019s feelings for both Ryan and recent ex Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) will continue to simmer<\/a>.<\/p>

With things still fraught with the Platts, Lily suggests they introduce a \u2018nice box\u2019 like they have at school, where the kids must write nice things about each other and put them in the box.<\/p>\n

Lily says that Audrey will read out the comments. But with this clan such a spiky bunch of characters, what could possibly go wrong?!<\/p>\n

Later, Audrey interviews Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) and is impressed by her vision for the salon. But when Audrey interviews grandson David, he fails to take it seriously and Audrey is left annoyed.<\/p>\n

Who will she choose to manage the salon? And will this add fuel to the fire within the Platts\u2019 circle?<\/p>\n

Later, Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) calls at the flower shop flat for Joseph and the quads, and Gemma is upset, wishing they could stay longer as she continues to live apart from her family due to the investigation from social services. Will they be reunited in time for Christmas Day?<\/p>\n

Cassie comes up with a gift idea from Roy to Evelyn, and Roy tells Cassie he\u2019s found the mystery item. Cassie insists on accompanying him to buy it, but when the Woody won\u2019t start, Cassie comes up with a new plan. What will she do?<\/p>\n
