Seb's murder trial draws to a close and it's time for Kelly to take the stand. Having heard Corey's lies about how she was the instigator of the hate crime attack and threatened him to keep quiet, the teen is ready to set the record straight.

Kel insists it was Corey who kicked the victim to death and that she tried to stop it, and now he's trying to pin it all on her. Laura Neelan (Kel Allen), Kelly's unpredictable mum, then has her turn in the witness box and defends her daughter's reputation, dismissing Corey's claims. Considering her track record for causing trouble, could Kelly's mother end up doing more harm than good by giving evidence?

The harsh reality of dating someone who could drop dead at any minute from a rare heart condition is starting to be keenly felt by Emma. A week after Curtis collapsed and was rushed to hospital, the cute waiter doesn't show for an arranged meeting with his girlfriend and she panics he's taken another turn.

Turns out Curtis is struggling to cope with his health issues and is knocking back the booze alone at the Rovers. Emma and Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) find him bladdered and belligerent, and Curtis opens up about how his recent scare has left him rattled. Can he get proper answers and an official diagnosis from the doctors, rather than live with such agonising uncertainty about his future?

Eileen learns the truth

Eileen was touched by the story of lonely old spinster Patsy Freeman dying without any relatives to mourn her, and is moved enough to deliver a heartfelt eulogy in an impromptu send-off as Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) nervously hide the truth that the spilt ashes were actually that of Eileen's late husband, the murderous Pat Phelan.

Unable to sustain the ruse, George admits 'Patsy' is as fictional as Eleanor Rigby and reveals an urn full of the serial killer's remains was found in storage and they didn't want to upset Eileen with the reminder of her evil ex. Eventually forgiving the undertaker for his misguided attempt at preserving her feelings, Eileen wonders whether she and Mr Shuttleworth can give their on/off romance yet another go. Bonding over a mass murderer's ashes? Now that's a macabre basis for romance.

Hide the matches, that's all we're saying.
  • Meanwhile, Tyrone is trying to wriggle out of a trip to Romania to meet his future in-laws as he doesn't want to leave troubled Hope - or Fiz, who he's clearly still in love with.

Though she could just want to remove any potential temptation as she obviously can't switch off her feelings for the cheating mechanic…
