There's a surprise proposal sprung on the famous Coronation Street cobbles next week as Stephen is put on the spot over his burgeoning relationship with Tim's mum Elaine. Tim quizzes Stephen about his intentions towards Elaine, explaining what a terrible time she had with his dad Geoff and how he used to control her.
Meanwhile Sarah’s gutted after her meeting with a potential investor, explaining she messed things up. Having told them how great her proposal is, Gail and Audrey put pressure on Stephen to invest the £10,000 Sarah needs.
Later, Stephen plays a cruel trick on Elaine, sending an abusive text to his own phone but making it look like it came from his ex wife Gabrielle. When Elaine suggests that Gabrielle is gaslighting him, Stephen makes out it’s only what he deserves. Elaine tells Stephen that she too was in an abusive relationship and she wants to help him.
