Get ready for another explosive week on the cobbles, as Coronation Street serves up high-stakes drama with relationships on the brink, a shocking discovery, and a desperate court plea. With fates hanging in the balance, the residents of Weatherfield are in for a tumultuous time.
Lisa's Desperate Plea as Becky Swain Exacts Final Revenge
The fallout from Becky Swain's crimes reaches a devastating peak. With her true nature fully exposed, the vengeful ex-wife makes a chilling threat to drag Lisa down with her. Terrified at the prospect of joining her sociopathic former partner in prison, a desperate Lisa turns to Carla Connor with a heartbreaking request.
She begs Carla to promise she will look after their daughter, Betsy Swain, if Lisa is incarcerated. The emotional weight of the moment is compounded as young Betsy watches the tense exchange from the stairs. With Carla barely able to look at her fiancée after learning she slept with Becky, the future of their relationship looks bleak. Will their next meeting be in a prison visiting room?
Pregnancy Test Shock at Bertie's Birthday Party
Over at the Barlows, a family celebration for Bertie's birthday takes an acutely awkward turn. When Daniel Osbourne asks his son to fetch candles from Alya Nazir, the youngster instead rummages in Megan Walsh's bag and pulls out a pregnancy test.
The room falls into a stunned silence. Megan scrambles to deflect, but the visible panic on Daniel's face wounds her deeply. After making a sharp comment, she departs the party, leaving a major question hanging in the air. Given Megan's recent liaisons with both Daniel and the younger Will Driscoll, whom she has been grooming, the street is left with two burning questions: Is she pregnant, and if so, who is the father?
Debbie's Court Date Looms as Carl's Manipulation Continues
Meanwhile, Debbie Webster is struggling with sleepless nights ahead of her impending court date for the car crash that killed Billy Mayhew. Manipulated by her brother, Carl—the actual driver—into believing she was behind the wheel, Debbie is caught in a terrible conflict.
While Ronnie Bailey and Adam Barlow advise her to plead not guilty, Carl insists a guilty plea is her best option to avoid a worse sentence. In a rare moment of vulnerability, the usually cold Carl cracks under the pressure of his sister's torment, leading her to comfort him. The moral dilemma is stark: will Carl really allow his dementia-suffering sister to take the fall to save his own skin?
The aftermath of Billy's death continues to ripple through the community. A despondent Summer Spellman, having visited Billy in the chapel of rest, breaks down in front of Asha Alahan. Her grief quickly curdles into fury, which she directs squarely at Debbie Webster, whom she blames entirely for her father-figure's death.
Despite Asha's attempts to calm her, Summer declares she hopes Debbie rots in prison. With her rage unchecked, there are serious concerns that Summer could spiral completely out of control in her quest for vengeance.
Watch all the drama unfold in the official ITV preview videos for the week of Monday, January 12 to Friday, January 16, 2026.
