ITV Coronation Street spoilers: Steve’s outrageous demand as Roy and Leanne are in danger from sinister villains
Two of our favourite Coronation Street characters are in mortal peril next week, as cafe king Roy Cropper (David Neilson), who is accused of the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), is cornered by violent thugs wanting his blood.
It’s all part of a horrendous week for him as more evidence comes to light that doesn’t look great for him and then a decision to pay tribute to Lauren at a vigil backfires.
Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) is also dicing with disaster as she finds herself pulled into a potentially sinister situation.
Charmed by an influential man who exploits her feelings, it seems she may fall into the grips of a cult.
In other developments, Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) gets bad news – and it’s not just the proposition from ex-husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson).
And Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) is furious with Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) once again.

In the cafe an internet sleuth listens as Roy tells Nina and Yasmeen he has been asked to go back to the police station to be interviewed.
After hearing David and Shona speculating whether Lauren’s dad’s far right group could be involved Max decides to secretly pay Reece a visit in prison and tells him how Roy is wrongly suspected of Lauren’s murder when all he did was clean the flat for her.
Later in the café, Roy finds himself alone apart from two dodgy men sitting at a table. When one of them gets up and locks the door, Roy realises he’s in danger.
Amy convinces Steve that it’s best if she tells Tracy about Tommy’s move to Spain. In the Rovers, Steve can’t help himself and breaks the news to Tracy that Tommy has accepted a job as football coach in Spain.
Steve suggests to Tracy that with Tommy out of the way, they could give their marriage another go.
Despite things still being frosty between them and Chesney sleeping on the sofa, Gemma and Chesney put on a brave face and visit Oakhill with Linda and Joseph. But it is clear something is bothering Joseph.
Simon’s pleased to see Nick and Leanne getting on well. When Leanne reveals that Rowan gave her some sound advice, Simon suggests she joins him for the next Institute. Rowan’s delighted to see her again.
