2. But will she be found guilty of murder?
Leanne pleads with a nervous Toyah not to say something she'll regret in court, saying she should leave it to her solicitor. The prosecution paints her as a murderer, and Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) and Kelly are both called as witnesses. Imran's mother Saira Habeeb (Kim Vithana) then tells the court that she saw Toyah kissing Spider, and she believes Toyah was having an affair and so killed Imran on purpose.
Leanne defends her sister on the stand, leaving Toyah's guilt at an all-time high. She decides to take the stand after all. But what does she say?

A shocked Dev unleashes his outrage over Aadi wanting to tie himself to someone like Kelly, and Aadi and Kelly decide to try and win him over and prove their commitment by throwing an engagement party.
Gary advises Dev to show his support or risk losing his son, but what will Dev decide? There's disappointment for Kelly, though, when she overhears Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) claiming that once the part is over, Kelly will get bored with Aadi! Meanwhile, Gary offers to chip in towards the wedding and Kelly is touched as she plans the festivities with her inheritance. But there's still the matter of a timebomb waiting to explode!
4. Will Kelly learn Gary's deadly secret?
When Rick's ex-associate Sharon visits Kelly to congratulate her on her engagement, Gary panics and begs Sharon not to ruin Kelly's life by revealing that he killed her dad. But as Aadi lets slip about Kelly's kidnapping, and Kelly asks Gary to give her away, Sharon is left horrified. Later, Kelly receives a holdall of her late mum Laura Neelan's (Kel Allen) belongings which were left in Spain.
Scrolling through the photos on her mum's camera, she's shocked to spot an image dated the very same day that Rick was killed, meaning her mum was in Spain at the time and couldn't have done the deed! Kelly shows Gary the photos and demands the truth, but will Gary admit everything or continue to lie? One way or another, Kelly is set to find out, as Corrie's producer Iain MacLeod revealed. But what will that mean for Gary?

But when his team's manager arrives to talk over James's future, will he get the all-clear to return to work? It's surely far too soon for that, but at the very least, he hopes to be able to continue to follow his dreams after a period of recovery. What does the future hold for James?
