ITV’s Coronation Street spoilers reveal next week’s shocking hospital reveal and the revelation of Lauren’s boyfriend.

In the upcoming episodes, one resident will collapse in horrific scenes. Amid the drama of Roy Cropper’s arrest, his situation worsens in prison as he awaits trial. Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding Lauren deepens, with the police still unable to identify her attacker – who may also be her killer.

In other developments, Steve seems ready to find new love after Tracy decides to leave him. There is also a new twist in Paul Foreman’s storyline, as his mother Bernie is hiding a huge secret – but what is she hiding from her children?

Shock drop

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Roy Cropper collapses next week. This week, he tries to contact Nina through the cafe, but when Carla gets the call, she suddenly hangs up and runs out, reports the Mirror.

Roy is clearly having a hard time in prison, and once again, he catches a glimpse of Lauren approaching the cafe counter with Max. But what is the significance of this conversation, and what is he trying to remember?

Being interrupted leaves Roy frustrated and unable to continue his training. Bobby informs Carla that Roy must have kept quiet about the false statement to the police, while a worried Nina waits for Roy in the visiting room.

When he fails to appear, she informs the guard that she was expecting him and the officer enters Roy’s cell only to find him collapsed on the floor. He is immediately rushed to the hospital, clearly struggling with the ongoing situation.

Lauren’s update

Roy is convinced that there is something significant about a conversation between Max and Lauren that he needs to remember. As he lies in hospital, Mary visits him and encourages him to think about him in the hope that he will come back to her.

He remembers being in the cafe with Max and Lauren, overhearing their discussion about something important, but he can’t remember what it was. Could this be the key to Roy getting out of prison?

Nina reveals that the police intend to recreate Lauren’s last movements in the cafe. Amy suggests mentioning it on her radio show to increase awareness of the upcoming event.

Meanwhile, Roy contacts Dee-Dee from prison, suggesting that if they can find Lauren’s necklace, they could identify her secret boyfriend. Will they manage to find out who she was seeing, and therefore, who is responsible?

New arrival

Paul will be in trouble next week when his father Denny shows up on the Cobbles. Paul takes part in a radio interview with Amy, discussing motor neurone disease and society’s disregard for disability. However, as he becomes passionate, he unintentionally uses profanity.

Later in the week, Paul, Billy and Gemma are delighted with the huge support they are giving their MND funders. Bernie is surprised when a man approaches her, having heard Paul on the radio and is unaware of his son’s condition.

She makes up a story that Paul has already died, but Denny is suspicious and accompanies her upstairs to find a shocked Gemma and Paul. When Denny comments on how good Paul is at looking for a deceased person, Bernie is left speechless.

Bernie is clearly hiding something and is afraid that Denny will reveal her past. Paul invites Denny to watch a movie at the apartment, and Billy reluctantly leaves them alone. Later, Denny steps out for ice cream, leaving Paul alone. He finds Gemma and pleads for a chance to meet her grandchildren, which upsets him.

Back at the apartment, Paul coughs and struggles to breathe. He calls an ambulance but drops the phone when he goes through. Denny returns to find Paul barely there, leaving him shocked. Will Paul pull through?

Meanwhile, Bernie’s secretive behavior continues as she nervously sifts through an old shoebox full of letters and photos, leaving Dev puzzled – what is she looking for and what is she keeping from her children?

Steve’s love life is very lucky

Steve turned to dating apps in his search for love after breaking up with Tracy Barlow. He shares with Tim at the cabin office that he has three matches on the dating app that Abi has suggested.

A woman named Maggie shows her interest but a chauvinistic remark from Kevin leaves Abi unsettled. Maggie agrees to a lunch date at the Bistro. Could this be the peak of Steve’s luck, or is this romance doomed from the start?

Later, he arranges another lunch date at the Rovers, but is dismayed when he finds Carole with three other friends. One of the women invites Tim to join them, and Sally’s reaction when she saw Tim with the woman in the pub is still to be seen.

Steve is about to quit when a message from Demi inspires hope. Demi could definitely be ‘the one’, he trusts Amy. Their chemistry is palpable when they get together.

New romantic

Steve isn’t the only one who could find love this week, as there seems to be a spark between Alya and Adam. Next week, Alya visits the attorney’s office to collect a client file.

Adam seems to be struggling with administrative tasks and later suggests to Dee-Dee that they should withdraw from working with Fabian’s. However, she accuses him of being petty and instructs him to continue.

When Rich and Alya arrive for their meeting with Adam, he is shocked to learn that Alya is planning to relocate to Dublin. He is determined in his desire to win Alya – but will she be forgiving after their past encounters?

The next day sees Adam and Alya collaborating on a shared case, and sparks are clearly flying between them. After some hesitation, Adam confesses his feelings for Alya and they share a kiss, just as Rich walks into the office.
