Coronation Street spoilers as Bethany faces intruder, Carla makes an offer and beloved character in hospital dash

There’s also a sad separation and a relationship confession in the ITV soap next week

There is drama aplenty for the Platt family in Coronation Street next week with a shock intruder, big offer and a worrying hospital dash.

It started when Sarah collects Bethany from hospital and rejects a call from an unknown number as Bethany breaks down in tears. In the prison, her frustrated former love interest Damon Hay is clearly trying to get through to her.

Sarah settles Bethany at the flat before heading out to do some food shopping. Bethany hears the door open but is shocked to see it’s not her mum but an intruder in a balaclava. Can she hide in time?

Later, Carla Connor informs David and Shona that she’s made an offer on their house. At No.8, an escalating row breaks out between Jesse Charwick, Sarah and David which causes Gail to snap and urge her kids out of the house. In the salon, Audrey Roberts and David discuss Gail and reckon she’s a fool to trust Jesse.

But back at home, as Jesse hunts for Lilly’s bicycle pump in the cupboard, he is discombobulated by what he finds but his curiosity evaporates at the sight of Gail breathing unsteadily and clutching her arm and phones an ambulance.

David, Sarah and Nick then arrive on the street as Gail is taken away in an ambulance and David and Sarah blame themselves for starting the row with Jesse. After his discovery under the stairs, Jesse fishes for a confession from David. Will David own up to Jesse?

Later, to take her mind off Joel’s funeral taking place today, Lauren extends an olive branch to Bobby by inviting him to visit Frankie in hospital. In the baby unit, Lauren’s taken aback when Max confesses he does have feelings for her but admits she feels the same.
