Coronation Street is set to bring us more drama next week, and we have a sneak peek for you in the form of our weekly spoiler videos.
Lucy Parkinson (Anya Dewin) remains unsettled in her new home with Sally and Tim Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine) as she struggles in the aftermath of her mum’s death.
As well as clashing with Joanie, Lucy spends a counselling session ranting about how much she hates Sally and Tim.
Elsewhere, Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) puts her foot in it with Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) and gets a dressing down from Rita Tanner and Mary Taylor (Barbara Knox and Patti Clare).
Maggie feels suitably bad about the incident, but will Brian accept her apology?
Of course, there are more challenges ahead for Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) next week, while Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) gets a major shock.
If you want more information, you’ll have to tune into the episodes themselves, but in the meantime, here are some clips to whet your whistle.

Our hearts are breaking for poor Brian in this preview clip, as he walks into the Rovers to find he is the topic of a not-so-positive conversation.
When the bar staff learn that Maggie spent a night with Brian, they are quick to tease her, but she brushes them off by claiming the encounter was underwhelming and won’t be happening again.
Brian, dressed in his Sunday best and holding a bunch of flowers, overhears the tail end of the discussion and hurries off.
Luckily, he has Mary and Rita in his corner, and they waste no time in standing up for their friend, well and truly putting Maggie in her place.

When social worker Ruth calls round to talk to Lucy about living with Sally and Tim, Lucy insists she’s happy, but her demeanour suggests she’s anything but.
She quickly grows defensive when the social worker asks if she’s spoken with the mental health team, but Tim jumps in to mediate the discussion.
Calmer, Lucy assures Ruth that she didn’t mean what she told the counsellor about Sally and Tim.
As the meeting wraps up, Sally is eager to know if Lucy will be allowed to stay with them permanently, but Ruth asks to speak to Lucy alone first. What will they say?
