The young ‘uns are in peril in Coronation Street next week, with a car accident, a disappearance and cult pressure unfolding.
Carla Connor (Alison King) is distracted after confronting the yobs who were bullying Roy Cropper (David Neilson) and, as she makes to drive off, she knocks one of them to the ground.
Will she pay a worrying price for this – someone is determined to see her squirm!
Meanwhile, DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) might be able to help but she soon has problems of her own when she frantically finds that daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) has vanished.
And, elsewhere, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) tries even harder to lure Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) into the Institute.
But Toyah (Georgia Taylor) is on a mission – and soon has dirt on cult leader Rowan (Emrhys Cooper)…

Bethany tells Sarah about the sighting of Lauren and how the coat she was wearing matches the coat they saw on the girl in the CCTV from the pizza joint in Leicester and that she was clearly the person using her credit card.
