7. An anniversary is marked

Five years on from the bombing at Manchester Arena, which killed 22 people and injured over 1,000 in May 2017, Coronation Street will mark the anniversary on-screen. Fans will recall that a plaque features in Victoria Garden which honours the victims.

Next week, rivals Gail Rodwell (Helen Worth) and Eileen will put aside their differences to pay their respects as they lay flowers on the memorial bench. The poignant scene should see a change of pace amid the character-based drama, as we take time to reflect on the events of 22nd May 2017.
