Corrie airs at 8.30pm on ITV1
As we head towards Christmas, with only a month until gifts are exchanged, there looks to be little of that festive joy in Weatherfield.
Forget mulled wine and mince pies bring on the drama and the tension.
As shocking home truths threaten some of Weatherfield’s most loved families this new Coronation Street promo gives viewers a first look at the drama.
Bethany (Lucy Fallon) is battling the mother of all secrets, having fallen pregnant by her mum Sarah’s boyfriend Kit (Jacob Roberts).
But undergoing treatment for male breast cancer, an exhausted Kit is struggling with the burden of carrying their secret and questions whether the right thing to do would be to reveal the consequences of their one night stand?
Desperate not to risk her relationship with her mum, Bethany begs Kit to keep quiet. Can Kit continue to live a lie or is a ticking time bomb about to explode under the Platts?
The promo also focuses on the family feud at the Dobbs, as we see Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) determined to unmask Tyrone’s dad Ross (Ian Burfield) for the evil bully that he is.
Since Ross arrived on the scene, having previously been estranged, he’s been on a mission to oust Tyrone’s mum Cassie, discredit Fiz and take control of the family.
But just when he thought he’d got Cassie out of the picture, Fiz starts doing some digging and when she unearths Cassie’s passport lying in Ross’ car, she starts asking some difficult questions about Cassie’s disappearance.
Does Ross know more than he’s letting on, is Cassie really living the new life the Dobbs were led to believe or is there a much more sinister explanation?
As secrets are put to the test and guilty consciences rattled, will the truth out?
Tis the season to be jolly.. unless you live on Coronation Street.
