Relationships are fraying to the extreme in Coronation Street next week, with betrayal and revenge having serious consequences.
Having tricked Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) into the court, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) has gone too far, with it seeming like Amy could lose everything.
But Tracy (Kate Ford) and Nick (Ben Price) are in her corner and, after a scary and humiliating experience, is Amy about to discover the truth about leader Rowan (Emrhys Cooper)?
Elsewhere, with a crime unmasked, Beth Tinker’s (Lisa George) exit story may have been confirmed, with Kit (Jacob Roberts) driving her out of Weatherfield – if she doesn’t go, he will destroy Craig’s (Colson Smith) career.
But an impromptu proposal from Kirk Sutherland (Andy Whyment) may change everything.
And finally, fuming Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) lashes out at Mason when he gives her the cold shoulder, dumping him then seeking revenge in the form of a set-up.
But she may regret it…

At Amy’s upload, Leanne urges her to relive her trauma in order to banish the negativity.

Handing her some cash, Kit tells Beth he wants her out of Weatherfield by the end of the week or he’ll end Craig’s career. Kirk admits to Beth he can’t live without her and reveals Peanut wearing a neckerchief saying ‘Marry me?’ With Kit’s blackmail ringing in her ear, will she agree?
With Mason being non committal about plans to hang out again, Betsy finishes with him. When Mason later finds Betsy chatting to Dylan, he’s unimpressed and tells them they deserve each other. Dylan squirms and assures him they’re not an item.

Having discovered her purse missing, the customer tears a strip off Yasmeen and Stu. As Mason puts on his jacket, he’s horrified to realise Betsy’s set him up.
Craig quizzes Sid about his dealings with Beth. Sid feigns ignorance but once Craig is out of earshot, he calls Kit to warn him.
