8 Coronation Street spoilers for next week: Jodie Ramsey’s fate in peril as Bethany Platt fears secret in danger

The action kicks off when unruly Jake Windass (Bobby Bradshaw) overhears his classmate Lily Platt (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) moaning about her vulnerable step-grandfather Doug Ramsey (Steve Evets), and before long, he produces a set of fireworks and an idea to seek revenge.

The kids climb into the back of Doug’s van before scarpering, avoiding the explosion that tears through the vehicle and thunders across the cobbles.

It comes at a time of great concern for Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown), as traces of her blood are found in an abandoned car. However, there's one person in particular who is glad to see the back of her - Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), who is still worried that her secret night of passion and subsequent pregnancy to Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) could be exposed on her return.

Meanwhile, Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) fights to clear her daughter's name, Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) faces a new predicament, and there's a new development in Ross Wilkes's (Ian Burfield) control of son Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall).

Here's everything happening in the episodes of Coronation Street airing between Monday 16 and Friday 20 November.

1. Ryan Connor faces a predicament over Bethany Platt's pregnancy

Kit is left squirming when Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) presents daughter Bethany with a selection of designer baby clothes, explaining that they're a gift from the excited grandparents – herself and Kit.

But the awkwardness doesn't end there, as Sarah later reveals to uncles Nick and David (Ben Price and Jack P. Shepherd), and aunt Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) that Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) is the father of Bethany's baby. Ryan is far from impressed.

Suspecting that Kit is actually the father, Shona takes her niece aside and urges her to keep the truth from Sarah. Back at home, Sarah makes an unexpected discovery when she spots a card addressed to Bethany on the doormat.

Meanwhile, Bethany confides in Kit that she hopes they never see Jodie again, believing that keeping her out of sight is the only way to ensure their secret stays buried.

Later in the week, an increasingly anxious Bethany checks her phone and tells Sarah and Kit that Ryan is ignoring her messages.

Having endured another grilling from David over his apparent lack of support for Bethany, Ryan reaches the end of his tether and insists she needs to come clean about his lack of paternity.

At Sarah's request, Kit later joins Ryan in the café and attempts to offer some reassurance, suggesting that if he loves Bethany enough, he'll eventually grow to love her child too. But will Ryan be convinced?

2. The Platts fear that Jodie Ramsey is dead

Shona and David are left reeling when Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) delivers some deeply troubling news: an abandoned car has been discovered with traces of Jodie's blood in the boot.

Could their decision to ignore the threatening phone call have been a terrible mistake?

Lisa promises to keep them informed, but David is already fearing the worst and warns Shona that they must prepare themselves for the possibility that Jodie is dead. Having been discharged from hospital, Doug arrives in his campervan and breaks the news to a horrified Lily that something serious has happened to Jodie.

Lily then reveals that her aunt sent her a text asking for help a couple of days earlier, but she never responded. Racked with guilt, the teen is reassured by David that whatever has happened, she cannot blame herself.

Determined not to give up hope, Lily suggests organising an online vigil for Jodie in the hope that she'll see it and get in touch. With David, Shona, Jake and Ruby Dobbs (Billie Naylor) lending a hand, Lily sets up the vigil in Victoria Gardens.

3. Christina Boyd plans to invite Lucy Parkinson to live with her

Sally and Tim Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine) arrive at No.11 to discuss what the future holds for their foster daughter Lucy Parkinson (Anya Dewin). Giving George Shuttleworth (Tony Madusley) a pointed look, Christina assures them that nothing would make her happier than having the chance to care for her grandchild.

Later, a prison visit takes an uncomfortable turn when Richie Parkinson (Nathan Sussex) paints Rachel as a sadistic abuser and asks Christina to pass a message on to Lucy. Christina manages to bite her tongue, but will she keep quiet about what he's said?

Back at home, Christina makes her position perfectly clear to George - whether he likes it or not, she intends to provide a home for Lucy. George is devastated by the revelation, leaving him facing a difficult decision.

Will he agree to Christina's plans, and what would it mean for Mary Taylor (Patti Clare)?

4. Things are looking up for Mary Taylor

Mary pays a visit to the flower shop and is delighted to discover that Tracy and Amy Barlow (Kate Ford and Elle Mulvaney) are at loggerheads, with the pair clearly struggling to keep the business running in her absence.

However, the satisfaction doesn't last long as Amy drops a bombshell, telling her mum that she's had enough of working for her.

With dad Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) having offered her a job at Street Cars, could Amy be about to make a permanent career change? And could this mean Mary can return to Preston's Petals?

5. Carla Connor-Swain warns Idris Nazir as he closes in

Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) and Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) are stunned to witness Carla Connor-Swain (Alison King) in full force as she engages in a heated phone call with an unhappy client.

When Idris attempts to offer some business advice, Carla makes it abundantly clear that she's not interested, telling him to drop dead!

The pressure continues to mount at No.6, where a fraught Carla admits to wife Lisa that they may be forced to sell their home if she cannot find a buyer for the factory.

Meanwhile, Sean Tully (Antony Cotton), Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston), Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment) and Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) gather in the café to discuss the increasingly bleak financial situation and the prospect of a very frugal Christmas.

With Carla still struggling to secure a buyer for the factory, Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) listens to their conversation, visibly consumed by guilt.

6. Unwell Susie Price has an interaction with unwell Kit Green

Kit makes an effort to put things right with mum Bernie Winter-Alahan (Jane Hazlegrove), sister Gemma Winter-Brown (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and son Brody, apologising for shutting them out and promising that things will be different from now on.

Bernie then shares some major news of her own, revealing that she's decided to undergo a full mastectomy and hysterectomy in a bid to reduce her risk of developing cancer.

Over at the Rovers, Susie Price (Aurora Bradshaw) is busy practising her vocal exercises under Glenda Shuttleworth's (Jodie Prenger) supervision, but it's becoming increasingly clear that she's unwell.

Keen to keep her condition under wraps, Susie hides a rash on her neck before heading into the bar, where she gives Kit a high five.

However, Susie soon shows mum Eva (Catherine Tyldesley) and grandmother Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) the spots spreading across her neck and back. Maggie quickly identifies the culprit as chickenpox and breaks the devastating news that Susie won't be able to perform in the show.

7. Daniel Osbourne and Adam Barlow fight - again!

Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) gives his nephew Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) a dressing-down for seemingly putting profit ahead of the welfare of Weatherfield High children, prompting Adam to raise his concerns about the sale of the school land with Idris.

However, the businessman remains unapologetic, arguing that the school has done nothing with the field for years. He then drops a bombshell in the café when he reveals to a stunned Daniel that he's one of the buyers.

Determined to derail the sale, Daniel tells dad Ken Barlow (William Roache) that an ecological survey is due to be carried out on the school land and hopes the findings will put an end to the deal. But his optimism quickly evaporates when Idris reveals that the sale is due to be finalised the following day.

Tensions escalate further at his home when Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) tells him that she and Adam are genuinely worried about him, as he seems permanently angry with the world. Things take an alarming turn when Idris arrives and Daniel grabs him by the lapel.

Alya is forced to intervene and separate the pair before matters get even uglier.

Later, a tipsy Daniel makes his feelings towards Alya clear, telling her she's gorgeous, clever and kind, before adding that Adam doesn't deserve her.

News then breaks that the land sale has gone through. At the Bistro, Adam confronts a smug Idris, realising that he's been deceived and that he intends to build dubious something on it.

Daniel accuses Adam of knowing all along what the land was intended for, and the disagreement soon erupts into a physical fight.

8. Ross Wilkes orders Tyrone Dobbs to show Fiz who's boss

Tyrone and Chesney Winter-Brown (Sam Aston) finally attempt to put their differences behind them as they bury the hatchet in the Rovers. However, the fragile peace doesn't last long.

Ross joins the pair and makes a point of telling Chesney that the apology was actually his idea, prompting him to storm out in frustration.

Later, Tyrone and Ross arrive back at No.9 to find Hope Dobbs (Isabella Flanagan) and Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) coming downstairs. Tyrone immediately lays down the law with his daughter, insisting that she's not allowed to have boys in her bedroom before promptly showing Sam the door.

Ross is clearly impressed by his approach. But later, Tyrone admits to Ross that he's likely landed himself in trouble with Fiz after overreacting and throwing Sam out.

Rather than encouraging him to make amends, Ross urges Tyrone to stand his ground and show Fiz who's boss.

9. The Weatherfield teens set fire to Doug Ramsey's van

Jake comes across Hope, Ruby and Lily sitting on Maxine Peacock's memorial bench, where they're busy complaining about Ross and Doug.

But their mood soon lifts when Jake reveals a stash of fireworks hidden in his rucksack. Lily immediately sees an opportunity for some mischief and suggests setting them off inside Doug's camper van for a laugh.

With a plan seemingly taking shape, the group race down the ginnel. However, their excitement quickly turns to alarm when a loud explosion rings out and a huge cloud of smoke rises from behind the factory.

Later, David grows increasingly worried after failing to get hold of his daughter. With no sign of her, he sets off in search.
