Next week on Coronation Street, a new murder mystery story will begin as the police suspect that Lauren was killed by an unknown culprit.
Elsewhere, the consequences of Liam’s bullying ordeal continue, and a big story begins for Leanne as she meets newcomer Rowan.
Here is a complete collection of 15 big moments to come.
1. Blood is found in Lauren’s old apartment
Sean is considering renting Lauren’s old apartment after Eileen is kicked out, but finds blood on the curtains. He tells Bobby, who decides to notify the police.
Bobby can’t resist sharing his suspicions about Roy’s recent behavior, including how he cleaned the apartment after Lauren left. DS Swain decides it’s worth a look, so she asks Roy about his relationship with Lauren.
2. Daniel is next to doubt
Max fears that Daniel is hiding something because of his relationship with Lauren, so he visits the police station to eliminate DS Swain. He shares his theory that Daniel is the mystery boy Lauren always mentioned before she disappeared.
Swain brings Daniel in for questioning and accuses him of tutoring Lauren in return for sex. When Swain brings up Daniel’s past dramas involving Summer and Nicky, he refuses to answer any more questions without an attorney present.
Daniel later realizes the seriousness of the situation when Swain gives a radio interview and suggests that Lauren may have been murdered.
3. Roy is arrested
Roy becomes the target of online trolling as Lauren’s mystery sparks internet speculation. Carla and Nina urge Roy to avoid any further public appeal for information about Lauren, as it could make the situation worse.
DS Swain later intervenes by arresting Roy on suspicion of Lauren’s murder. To make matters worse for the cafe boss, a video of his arrest is posted online.
4. Yasmeen and Stu have another retreat
Yasmeen and Stu agree to keep Eliza in the dark when her father returns to town. They plan to entrust the £10k bribe, which Dom returned, to Eliza’s future.
The plan succeeds when Eliza finds the envelope of money in Stu’s coat pocket, along with a note from Dom that says: “I’m sorry I let Eliza down”. It’s a difficult time for Stu as Eliza is sure to want an explanation.
5. Eliza tracks down Dom
Eliza teams up with Hope and Sam to find Dom and they find him at the Chariot Square Hotel.
The schoolgirl then brings Dom back to Speed Daal, where she promises that she doesn’t want to lose her father again and wants to live with him in Germany.
6. Stu makes a selfless decision
Stu realizes that he has taken the wrong approach with Eliza, so he suggests that she should spend two weeks with Dom in Germany over Easter.
Stu promises that this can be treated as a trial run ahead of a possible permanent move.
7. Eileen eases the pressure on Sean and Dylan
Sean looks for a new place to rent and Eileen tells him and Dylan to leave after finding the missing knife.
Eileen seems to regret her position when she assures John that he doesn’t need to rush to move out if he can’t find anything.
8. Mason’s fate is revealed
Maria and Gary agree that Liam will be homeschooled for the foreseeable future after their bullying ordeal.
The couple are visited by the police, who confirm that Mason has been charged with threatening Liam with the knife and is likely to receive a custodial sentence as it is not a first offence.

Simon prepares for his hearing at magistrates court after his recent drink driving offence.
Sam, who was involved in Simon’s accident, agrees to provide a character reference in his favor.
10. Nick disappoints Leanne
On the day of Simon’s court hearing, Leanne focuses on supporting her son.
Nick insists that he is too busy to attend, leaving Simon unhappy and Leanne worried. Will Nick stick to this position or will he change his priorities?
11. Leanne meets a brutal newcomer
Leanne takes Simon to a self-help event at the Chariot Square Hotel, organized by a group called The Institute.
Leanne gets some advice of her own when Rowan, the Institute’s mentor, arrives and starts teasing her. Although Leanne is unsure at first, she warms to Rowan as he encourages her to share her feelings.
12. Damon lies with Satan
Damon and Sarah continue house hunting together. However, Damon hides that Harvey is pressuring him to do a criminal job.

13. Tracy forces Amy to meet Tommy
Tracy tricks Amy by setting her up for lunch at the Bistro, and then surprises Tommy by joining them.
Tracy declares that it’s time for Amy and Tommy to get to know each other, so a distraught Amy makes the most of the occasion by ordering the most expensive champagne on the drinks menu.
14. Steve is disappointed
Steve looks forward to spending time with Amy when they agree to watch a movie together.
Toyah mentions to Steve that Amy had lunch with Tracy and Tommy earlier in the week and it seemed to go well. She realizes that she should be quiet when Steve is visibly upset.
15. Gemma opposes Linda’s plans for Joe
Linda suggests that Joseph’s education would benefit if he started attending Oakhill private school. She even offers to pay the fees.
Gemma is not happy with Linda’s intentions and orders Chesney to tell her to back off. Dee-Dee and Paul think Gemma shouldn’t take away Joseph’s private education just because of her argument with Linda, but will she listen to their advice?
