Coronation Street is gearing up for a week of explosive drama, heartbreak, and shocking revelations that will leave Weatherfield fans glued to their screens.

From fractured romances and dangerous secrets to stolen cars and surprise arrivals, the cobbles are alive with tension. As eight huge storylines unfold between

Monday 1st September and Friday 5th September 2025, every corner of the street will be shaken. Here’s everything you need to know about the week ahead…

1. Theo Turns on Todd – A Line Is Crossed

Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) is pushed further into a nightmare as Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) jealous and controlling behavior reaches terrifying new heights.

After weeks of ultimatums, Theo finally snaps. When Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) calls the police on Theo’s son Miles for shoving him during an anti-gay protest, Theo orders Todd to cut ties with his former partner for good. Todd, torn and weary, reluctantly agrees — but the cracks in their relationship are showing.

Next week, the situation spirals out of control. A disastrous mediation with Theo’s ex-wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson) leaves him humiliated when Noah (Richard Windsor) deliberately winds him up. Returning home in a rage, Theo finds Todd has been at the Rovers with Billy. Fueled by alcohol, Theo lashes out violently, leaving Todd shaken and horrified.

The next morning, Todd realizes a line has been crossed. While he tries to explain Theo’s behavior to Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien), blaming his upbringing and stress, Sarah refuses to let him minimize the abuse. When Theo later claims he’s seeking therapy, Billy urges Todd to give him space to change — but a chilling confession to Gary Windass (Mikey North) proves he never went to the appointment.

This is not love. It’s control, abuse, and fear. And Todd must face the truth: is he strong enough to walk away?

2. Carla and Lisa: Will They Finally Get Engaged?

Romance is in the air — but so is chaos. Carla Connor (Alison King) is determined to propose to Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) after her humiliating failure at the Rovers weeks earlier. This time, she wants everything to be perfect.

Carla confides in Betsy (Sydney Martin), Lisa’s daughter, asking for her blessing. Betsy is thrilled and encourages Carla to go ahead. Soon, Carla transforms Number 6’s garden into a romantic wonderland, ready for the big moment.

But just as she’s about to pop the question, disaster strikes again. Something — or someone — interrupts, leaving Carla flustered and the proposal ruined.

Later in the week, Betsy reveals Carla’s secret plans to Lisa. Far from upset, Lisa decides she has her own surprise in store. Could Lisa be preparing to turn the tables with a proposal of her own? Fans are left wondering: will this be the engagement Weatherfield has been waiting for, or another heartbreak?

3. Lisa Meets Tia Wardley – Becky’s Ghost Resurfaces

As Carla and Lisa juggle their engagement drama, another storm brews — the unresolved mystery of Lisa’s late wife, Becky.

Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) reveals that Logan Radcliffe’s uncle has been arrested, sparking memories of Becky’s past and a name that has haunted Lisa: Tia Wardley. Lisa recalls how Logan once misled Carla with references to Tia, leaving unanswered questions about her connection to Becky.

Kit’s investigation grows darker when he discovers Logan was put in segregation after a violent altercation following Carla’s visit. Suspicion deepens: what secret is Logan hiding, and how is Tia connected?

The tension explodes during a dinner party at the Beastro. Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman), never shy of drama, gatecrashes the event — but the real shock comes when a woman strides in and introduces herself as Tia Wardley.

Is she the key to Becky’s past? And will Lisa finally uncover the truth she’s been searching for?

4. Carl’s Scandalous Affairs Risk Exposure

Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) has always lived on the edge — but his reckless behavior may finally catch up with him.

Last week’s bombshell that Carl had been sleeping with James Bailey (Nathan Graham), despite his long-running affair with Abi Webster, stunned fans. But the fallout is only just beginning.

Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), ever the schemer, is blackmailing Carl and Abi while simultaneously throwing herself at Carl. To her fury, he rejects her advances — not because of loyalty, but because James is already waiting in his hotel room.

Actor Jonathan Howard teases Carl’s mindset: “Carl is a hedonist. He goes after what he wants without considering the consequences. With Abi gone, James is a distraction. Tracy, however, is dangerous — he knows better than to get tangled with her.”

But Tracy doesn’t give up easily. After overhearing a conversation between Carl and Debbie, she gains yet more leverage. Could Carl’s double life finally explode into public scandal?

5. Dylan and Brody’s Car Theft Goes Wrong

Carl isn’t just causing chaos in the bedroom — he’s also knee-deep in a car theft ring.

This week, Brody (Ryan Mulvey) convinces Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) to join him in stealing luxury cars. Despite Dylan’s nerves, the pair target a vehicle — only to be caught red-handed by James Bailey.

James faces an agonizing choice: report them to the police or protect Dylan from a mistake that could ruin his life. Meanwhile, Dylan risks losing more than his freedom — his budding connection with Betsy may collapse if the truth comes out.

6. Jenny Still Loves George

Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) continues to pine for George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley), even as he grows closer to her rival Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins).

After wrongly accusing Christina of scamming George, Jenny was left humiliated when she discovered Christina’s partner Dom really was dead. Now, Jenny tries to apologize and reconnect — but George only has eyes for Christina.

Watching George walk away, Jenny is heartbroken. Could her chance at happiness be slipping through her fingers?

7. Christina Wins George’s Heart – Or Does She?

Despite Jenny’s doubts — and Glenda’s (Jodie Prenger) warnings — George finds himself increasingly drawn to Christina. The pair share drinks after Dom’s funeral, and George confesses he is beginning to have feelings for her. Christina admits she feels the same.

But when her credit card is declined and she breaks down in tears, questions resurface. Is Christina genuinely vulnerable, or is she manipulating George’s kindness for her own gain?

Weatherfield has seen many con artists — could Christina be the next?

8. Debbie Joins the Dementia Choir

Amid the scandals and heartbreak, a more uplifting story unfolds.

Glenda persuades Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) to attend a local dementia choir. Initially skeptical, Debbie finds herself unexpectedly moved by the experience. Energized, she tells the group they have real talent and promises to help them reach their potential.

For Debbie, who has been struggling privately, the choir offers hope, purpose, and a sense of community. It’s a storyline already winning praise for its sensitive handling of dementia, showing that even in Weatherfield’s darkest times, light can shine through.

Conclusion

Next week on Coronation Street delivers a rollercoaster of emotion: toxic abuse, romantic proposals, scandalous affairs, shocking revelations, and heartfelt community spirit. From Theo’s violent spiral and Todd’s painful reckoning to Carla and Lisa’s uncertain engagement and Lisa’s confrontation with Tia Wardley, every storyline pushes Weatherfield’s residents to the brink.

It’s a week that reminds us why the cobbles remain the most dramatic street in Britain: love and betrayal, heartbreak and hope — all colliding in unforgettable fashion.
