Another dramatic week in Weatherfield lies ahead in Coronation Street.
For The Driscolls, poor Ollie (Raphael Akuwudike) misreads a situation involving Jake Windass (Bobby Bradshaw) and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins), which leads to him pinning the teen to the ground.
Matters then sour even further when the police arrive to arrest him.
Meanwhile, his grandmother Maggie (Pauline McLynn) is awkwardly skirting around the pub, trying to avoid a run-in with newsagent Brian Packham (Peter Gunn). The reason why? They'd slept together the night before!
Elsewhere, Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) prepares a makeshift weapon by placing some weighty snooker balls from the prison recreation room into an old sock.
Terrified of what the prison top dog has planned for her young son Harry (Joshua Leavy) on the outside, Sarah orders her copper ex-boyfriend Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) to intervene in the inmate's personal dramas to ensure the safety of them both.
Here's everything happening in the episodes of Coronation Street airing between Monday 24 and Friday 28 August.
6 Coronation Street spoilers for next week
1. Lucy Parkinson takes a mysterious phone call from dad Richie
Later, Lucy asks Tim to take her to the undertakers so she can see her mum, but when they reach the door, she suddenly panics and cannot bring herself to go inside. Tim is eventually forced to confront his own feelings of guilt over her mum’s death.
How will Lucy react when he makes his confession?
Things take another difficult turn when Sally reveals that she has arranged counselling for Lucy. Although the teen reluctantly agrees to attend, the session quickly becomes an opportunity for her to unleash her anger, making it clear just how much resentment she harbours towards her new foster parents.
Back at home, Lucy’s behaviour becomes increasingly volatile. She launches a bowl of popcorn at Joanie Michaelis (Savannah Pennington), brands the family a "bunch of liars," and storms upstairs. Once safely out of sight, however, Lucy takes a secret phone call from her dad Richie (Nathan Sussex), who orders her to stick to their version of events.
What are they hiding?
Sally later admits to Tim that she is beginning to wonder whether she can cope with Lucy’s increasingly challenging behaviour. When social worker Ruth (Amy Drake) visits and carefully questions Lucy about whether she is happy living with her foster family, Lucy is faced with a crucial decision.
2. Celeste's relationship to Bernie Winter-Alahan is revealed
Todd is taken aback when Celeste (Frances Barber) turns up unexpectedly. As he sees her out, she suddenly spots Bernie across the street and hurries over, calling after her. Bernie, however, is in no mood for a reunion and gives Celeste short shrift.
Todd is left gobsmacked when the newcomer reveals the truth - she is the twin sister of Bernie’s mum.
Later, in the café, Todd breaks the news to Bernie that her auntie is dying. He suggests that, given the circumstances, now might be the perfect opportunity for them to put the past behind and reconnect.
But he has a different message for Celeste, advising her to stop chasing Bernie and instead make the most of the time she has left. When he mentions that he is heading to Manchester Pride at the weekend, Celeste surprises him by announcing that she intends to come along too.
Todd subsequently tells Bernie that Celeste’s health has taken a turn for the worse, but she remains remarkably unmoved. Later, she opens up to Dev about the bitter history between her mum and Celeste, offering an insight into what caused the family rift.
3. Sarah Platt prepares a makeshift weapon in prison
Bethany speaks to Sarah on the phone and does her best to reassure her that Harry is doing well – but her fragile sense of security is soon shattered when fearsome Kacey (Emma Matthews) enters her cell and finds her in tears.
Kacey asks if Harry is the reason for Sarah’s distress, leaving her deeply unsettled when she realises that the top dog knows her son’s name.
Meanwhile, Bethany is sorting through the washing when she discovers blood on one of Kit’s t-shirts. The discovery leaves her wondering what exactly Kit has been involved in.
Back in prison, a frightened Sarah stares at a photograph of her son, only to find that his face has been scrubbed out. Kacey then arrives and mentions that some pool balls have gone missing from the recreation room.
Bethany subsequently learns from Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) that Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) has taken Harry to the home of a new friend he met through the holiday club. At the prison, Kacey reminds Sarah that she still needs Kit’s help and shows her photographs of Harry at his new friend’s house.
Desperate, Sarah calls Adam. He confirms that the youngster is at Lottie’s house, and agrees to go and pick him up immediately. Adam then questions Lottie about the photographs, but the worrying possibility that she's working with Kacey begins to emerge.
Sarah’s situation takes an even darker turn when she stuffs the stolen pool balls into a sock, fashioning herself a makeshift weapon. When she hears voices outside her cell, she immediately reaches for it, ready for whatever comes next.
At the same time, Kit tells Bethany that he intends to threaten Kacey’s son in an attempt to make them leave them alone. He spots Brandon in the precinct and gives chase, but Bernie intervenes and warns Kit that it is time he started looking out for himself.
Back at the prison, Sarah approaches Kacey’s cell, clutching her makeshift weapon. Has she finally decided to take matters into her own hands?
4. Maggie Driscoll and Brian Packham share a night of passion
Ben and Ollie are in the middle of an argument when something on the staircase catches their attention. Their row is forgotten as a dishevelled Brian appears, with Maggie following behind, leaving everyone stunned by the sight.
Later, Brian turns to Eva for advice on how to win his new love interest over. She does her best to help, but Maggie remains less than impressed with their evening together.
Unaware that Brian has just arrived bearing flowers, Maggie tells Eva that the date was underwhelming and insists it is not something she wants to repeat.
When Maggie later heads to The Kabin to apologise, she faces the chance to put things right with Brian. But will she be able to repair the damage?
Glenda subsequently catches Maggie lurking in the hallway, where she admits that she's actively avoiding him.
Oh dear!
5. Ollie Driscoll is arrested for attacking Jake Windass
Ollie is thrilled when he reveals that he is due to meet an influencer who wants to review Speed Daal. But Ben soon turns the situation into a competition, announcing plans for a craft beer event at the Rovers.
But this is just the beginning of a rough week ahead for Ollie!
Christina confides in Glenda that she has barely heard from George and fears their relationship could finally be over. Her mood only deteriorates when she becomes tipsy and falls over in the ginnel.
Jake films the incident before emptying his water bottle over her. Ollie is furious and races in his direction, with Glenda and Christina soon discovering the chef pinning the teenager to the ground. When Christina points out that Jake only used water, Ollie is horrified by his own actions and lets him go.
Jake later tells Gary and Maria that he was actually on his way to call for Joseph Brown (William Flanagan) when the incident occurred. Gary urges him to be truthful when he gives his statement.
Back at the Rovers, Christina and Glenda reassure Ollie that he was only trying to do the right thing. Their conversation is cut short, however, when PC Jess Heywood (Donnaleigh Bailey) arrives and arrests Ollie on suspicion of assault.
Jess warns him that the offence could potentially result in a prison sentence, leaving Ollie facing a terrifying prospect.
Ben later tells Gary that Ollie could end up behind bars. Jake overhears the conversation and is visibly consumed by guilt. Will he finally do the right thing and tell the truth?
6. Todd Grimshaw reveals the truth about Christina Boyd
With George due home from Somerset, a nervous Christina throws herself into tidying the house, clearly desperate to make everything look presentable.
Todd arrives for work at the funeral parlour, only to discover that his boss is already there. George takes him to task for attempting to drown his problems in alcohol, prompting Todd to reveal what really happened with Christina and her drunken behaviour in the ginnel.
When George returns home, he tells Christina that he has had plenty of time to think. But what exactly has he decided about their future?
