ITV Coronation Street spoilers: Sex betrayal, shock arrest and unsettling revelations

But that doesn’t mean that the events from the inferno are forgotten, with Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) targeting his dad Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) with his ire and suspicions.
And when the police get involved, is Ed set to face consequences for something he may not even be guilty of?

While Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is overcome with joy to be in the presence of his footballing hero, little does he know that he is getting to grips with Tracy.
This can only end badly!
