Coronation Street’s Carla faces a horrifying prospect on the ITV soap next week, as the creepy hospital boss Mr Thorne makes her an indecent proposal.
Carla, played by Alison King, is put in a horribly uncomfortable position in upcoming episodes of the soap.
The drama kicks off after Aggie, played by Lorna Laidlaw, overhears her boss bragging that he rushed Peter’s operation in order to win a bet, ITV spoilers have revealed.
Peter is understandably furious to hear that his life was potentially put at risk by the arrogant surgeon.
The shocking news prompts him to track Mr Thorne down, leading to a confrontation, in which Peter punches the surgeon and is arrested for assault.
Carla decides she has to do something to help Peter and tries to smooth things over with Mr Thorne.
But she’s shocked when he then asks her out to dinner, in a clear move to exploit Carla’s desperation to get Peter out of trouble for the fight.
Carla gives him her number on the condition that he’ll drop the charges against Peter.
In later scenes on Coronation Street, Carla leaves her phone at home, and Peter is shocked when he reads a message from Mr Thorne, saying that he’s looking forward to seeing Carla for dinner.
Peter is furious and the message leaves him more determined than ever that the surgeon will pay for what he did.
He decides he is going to do whatever it takes to take Mr Thorne down.
But how far will Carla go to protect Peter?
Elsewhere on the cobbles next week, George Shuttleworth has one more confession for partner Eileen Grimshaw next week, as he reveals his health diagnosis.
Scenes to air this week on the ITV soap reveal there's another bombshell, just as Eileen thinks him staying over is going better than expected.
He's set to admit he's been staying awake all night so as not to snore and keep his partner awake.
But new spoilers for next week reveal there's more to the plot, and a health diagnosis he has yet to tell anyone about.
George tells Eileen that he suffers from sleep apnea and shows her the mask provided by the doctor.
According to the NHS website, "Sleep apnoea is when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep. The most common type is called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
