Next week is a sad and reflective time on Coronation Street as Nick and Sam prepare to mark the anniversary of Natasha’s death. But as Leanne says she's going to the cash and carry, she secretly heads off to visit Natasha's killer Harvey in prison after he sent a visiting order.
Leanne is shocked when Harvey, played by Strictly Come Dancing star Will Mellor, tells her that Sam has been writing to him, and he wants Leanne and Nick to stop him. Leanne tells Nick what she has discovered and the pair confront Sam who gets upset and says he just wants to know why Harvey killed his mum.
When Sam suggests that he’ll stop writing to Harvey if he can visit him instead, Nick and Leanne are horrified. But Sam’s adamant that it’s not their decision and he’ll find a way.
