The couple is set on having their big day, but Gemma is still in the dark about her twin brother Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) having been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

The soap will also finally see an end to Daisy Midgeley's (Charlotte Jordan) stalking ordeal and Ryan Connor's (Ryan Prescott) acid attack as Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still) is sentenced in new scenes airing during Corrie's five-episode week.

Previously, Ryan took the full force of Justin's attack aimed at Daisy on her wedding day to Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), being left with life-altering injuries. The bartender and DJ will come face to face with his assailant at the trial, which is guaranteed to pack an emotional punch for viewers.
