5 Coronation Street spoilers next week<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Roy Cropper collapses in prison<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Roy\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>
Roy falls seriously ill.<\/span><\/figcaption> ITV<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

When Roy calls the caf\u00e9 hoping to speak to niece Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher), Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) passes the phone to Carla Barlow (Alison King) and Carla hangs up, making out it was a dodgy line.<\/p>\n

Carla then rushes out, while in his cell, Roy has another flashback of missing girl Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton)<\/a> approaching the caf\u00e9 counter with Max Turner (Paddy Bever), but can\u2019t work out the significance of their conversation. When a prison officer bangs on the door, a frustrated Roy loses his chain of thought.<\/p>\n

In the factory, Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) tells Carla that Roy must have kept quiet about the false statement or the police would have come knocking by now.<\/p>\n

In the visiting room, Nina explains to the prison officer that she\u2019s waiting for Roy Cropper, and the officer lets himself into Roy\u2019s cell, where he finds Roy collapsed on the floor!<\/p>\n

Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) visits a desolate Roy in hospital, and Roy reveals that he keeps trying to remember details of a chat between Lauren and Max. Mary urges Roy to not to give up, as it will come to him eventually.<\/p>\n

Nina reveals that the police are going to film a reconstruction of Lauren\u2019s last known movements in the caf\u00e9, and Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) offers to mention it on her radio show to raise awareness.<\/p>\n

Roy calls Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) from prison to tell her about Lauren\u2019s necklace, adding that if they can trace where it\u2019s from, they might be able to find Lauren\u2019s mystery boyfriend. Will Dee-Dee be able to help?<\/p>\n

2. Paul Foreman\u2019s dad Denny arrives amid emergency \u2013 and big secret<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Bernie\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>
Bernie is spooked to see Denny.<\/span><\/figcaption> ITV<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) helps husband Paul dress for his radio interview, assuring him that he\u2019ll smash it. A cab arrives to take Paul and mum Bernie to the interview, and it\u2019s obvious the car isn\u2019t big enough for his wheelchair.<\/p>\n

Paul is fuming when the driver is rude, but Paul\u2019s radio chat with Amy goes well as he talks passionately about his Motor Neurone Disease and society\u2019s lack of regard for disability in general \u2013 until Paul gets carried away and swears live on air!<\/p>\n

Paul, Billy and Gemma Winter-Brown (Dolly-Rose Campbell) are blown away by the MND crowdfunder, sure it will make the council take notice of the possible centre closure. Later, a man approaches Bernie and tells her he heard Paul on the radio and didn\u2019t realise his son is dying.<\/p>\n

Bernie covers her shock and lies that the interview was a recording, and that Paul is already dead! Disbelieving Denny follows her to the flat, where Gemma and Paul are shocked to see their father, before Denny remarks that Paul looks great for someone who is supposedly dead.<\/p>\n

Bernie freezes in horror, and it seems Denny knows a secret of hers as she worries he will blab about her past. Billy reminds Paul that Denny used to knock him about when he was a kid, so he\u2019s not to be trusted; but Paul invites Denny over and Billy reluctantly leaves them to it.<\/p>\n

Denny nips out for ice cream, leaving Paul alone, and bumps into Gemma, asking to meet his grandchildren. In the flat, Paul has a coughing fit and struggles to breathe.<\/p>\n

Paul calls an ambulance but when the operator answers, he drops the phone. Denny returns, shocked to find Paul barely conscious. Meanwhile, Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) finds Bernie rifling through a shoebox of old letters and photos, and Bernie\u2019s uneasy when Dev asks what she\u2019s looking for. What is Bernie hiding, and will Denny help unwell Paul?<\/p>\n

Gary suggests selling the factory building to fund the therapy, but Liam listens in, deeply troubled. Liam Googles ways to deal with anxiety, searching up Diazepam.<\/p>\n

When Joseph Brown (William Flanagan) arrives for the judo class, Liam is glad of some company; but will he continue coping alone, or allow his worried parents to step in?<\/p>\n

Alya calls in for a client file and finds Adam struggling with the admin. When Adam suggests pulling out of the joint work they\u2019re doing with Fabian\u2019s, Dee-Dee accuses him of being petty and orders him to suck it up and get on with the filing.<\/p>\n

Rich and Alya arrive for their meeting with Adam, and Adam is taken aback to learn that Alya is going to work in Dublin. Adam hands over a summary of the case, determined to impress Alya, and as the week continues Adam and Alya work together on the case.<\/p>\n

They share a flirty smile and quickly look away, but when Adam finally admits his feelings to Alya, the pair kiss just as Rich calls in to find them in a clinch! Will this affect Alya\u2019s future, or is a romance with Adam worth it?<\/p>\n

5. Steve McDonald leads Tim Metcalfe astray<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An upbeat Steve tells Tim that since he joined the new dating site Abi Webster (Sally Carman) recommended, he\u2019s had three matches. Steve shows Abi and Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) a picture of Maggie, a potential date, and Abi storms out when Kev makes sexist remarks.<\/p>\n

Steve is delighted when Maggie agrees to meet him for lunch at the Bistro, but ends up meeting a woman called Carole in the Rovers instead! He\u2019s thrown when she brings along three friends, and one of them, Aurora, refuses to take no for an answer when she insists Tim joins them.<\/p>\n

When Sally arrives to find Tim giggling like a school boy with another woman, how will she react? Steve is downbeat by the end of the week, telling daughter Amy that he\u2019s fed up of dating apps. But a message from Demi quickly changes his tune, and he tells Amy he thinks Demi\u2019s The One. Steve meets up with Demi and they hit it off, but will it last?<\/p>\n
