The week kicks off in spectacular style with an hour-long edition: Jenny discovers Sharon hired the van used to kidnap Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan), then Imran Habeeb (Charlie de Melo) tells her the abduction was staged to lure Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) out of hiding as she's testifying against a big-time drug dealer. When she confronts Sharon about her links to Sam's kidnapping and efforts to track down Leanne, Jen ends up in terrible danger. Later, Rita Tanner (Barbara Knox) gets home to find Sharon about to do a runner…

Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) defends Corey to a horrified Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher), determined to stick to her plan of making him trust her so he reveals the truth about Seb's murder. But can she keep lying to Nina? Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) is full of regret about being a bad mother as she prepares for her son's funeral.

Asha begs Abi to rethink her plan, pointing out Seb wouldn't want her to go back to prison and revealing she's been playing Corey for weeks. The women unite to catch Corey out: Abi buys drugs and gives them to Asha who slips them into his drink at the flat, giving her the chance to go through his phone to look for incriminating evidence. As Corey falls unconscious, Asha frantically starts scrolling - only for a call from a worried Nina to wake him. Is Asha in trouble?

Carla Barlow (Alison King) is upset when Adam explains he's had second thoughts about putting himself on the transplant list, despite the fact he could be Peter's last chance. But Carla is even more annoyed when she learns Sarah put him off the idea!

And the aftermath of Sharon's actions ripples across the cobbles - did she escape, and who got shot?

Sarah gets a mouthful from Carla, who accuses her of discouraging Adam from saving Peter to get her own back for her fling with her husband last year, while Maria is left with a big decision to make about her and Gary's future following the week's dramatic events.
