Coronation Street spoilers reveal sad exit, new romance and Carla's secret

Fans of Coronation Street have plenty to keep an eye on next week, with multiple characters featuring in drama.

There's a sad goodbye for one family it seems, ahead of another resident soon departing the show. The latter is included in a new romance too, amid a horrifying lie and surprising scenes.

They're not the only one hiding something though, as Carla Connor, Kevin and Carl Webster and Theo Silverton are all sparking suspicion next week, amid Aadi Alahan's new plot. To kick things off let's discuss the exit that appears to be airing next week. Lou Michaelis has been locked up ever since she was exposed for attacking Gary Windass, ahead of the character leaving the show for good.

With Sally Metcalfe caring for her young daughters and teen son Brody also on the cobbles, Sally takes the girls to see their mum while their brother refuses to attend. Lou reveals she plans to plead not guilty and asks for Sally to fund her legal fees, leaving her shocked.

But later in the week, Sally and husband Tim break the news to Brody that Lou has pleaded guilty which means she will likely go to to prison. So she asks for Brody to visit her - but is this her final scenes? Elsewhere her daughters Joanie and Shanice spark concern with Sally and Tim with something they do after their mum's news.

Another character soon leaving the show is Aadi. Next week he's still keeping from Lauren the fact it was his drink spiked with LSD that she accidentally drank, leading to her facing death. Aadi is also acting weird after the shop robbery.

Soon there's a kiss between Aadi and Lauren as a new romance forms, but when Aadi's dad Dev Alahan judges Lauren's past there's drama. He does try to make amends though, while Aadi is hiding some worrying news when he tells stepmother Bernie Winter that the insurance company are not going to pay them after the robbery.

He reveals how he missed a payment and they won’t get a penny. Soon a confession from Dev leaves Bernie plotting ahead of their wedding, but what will she do? Carla is also hiding something next week amid her supporting her partner Lisa Swain.

After Lisa's recent turmoil she began therapy sessions, forced to face her past. After the shop robbery we saw the police detective freeze instead of catching the thief.

Carla encourages Lisa to continue with the sessions next week, assuring her she'll be back on top form in no time while Lisa isn't so sure. But it's soon clear Carla is hiding something when at work, Michael Bailey spots something on her laptop screen and is left very intrigued - so what is Carla up to?

Theo is continuing to hide his sexuality from people next week despite his romance with Todd Grimshaw. He bumps into an old friend and makes out Todd is a woman, but there's more trouble ahead when Noah heads back to the cobbles.

Theo previously revealed Noah was involved in the conversion therapy Theo was forced to endure when he was younger. Noah tells Theo to attend a meeting with him to "save his soul", and the next day Noah is caught practising conversion therapy on a member of his congregation.

When Todd lashes out the incident is caught on camera and he's taken in for questioning by the police. Accused of assault, Todd fears the worst but Theo does his best to support him.

Elsewhere, Debbie Webster is still coming to terms with living with dementia, and her change in behaviour continues to alarm her loved ones. When she snaps at a guest at her hotel, she's filmed by them - only for Ryan Connor to step in to help his friend.

He's reeling though when Debbie thanks him by kissing him on the lips. Ryan reveals all to Debbie's partner Ronnie Bailey, leaving him reeling while Debbie is oblivious. Ryan warns Debbie that if it had been anyone else they might not have been so understanding.

Meanwhile, Debbie finds out her brother Carl is in trouble next week and asks how much money he needs. Soon his brother Kevin spots his secret meetings with Fiona, and soon all becomes clear about his schemes and his dodgy dealings at the garage.

When a car is nicked, Kevin tries to stop it but feels unwell. He's taken to hospital and soon tells Carl he's fine, only to tell his sibling he knows what's gone on - leading to them both facing tough questions.

Carl reveals he knows Kevin has lied about his cancer, but will his wife Abi find out the truth? Finally next week, teen Sam Blakeman continues to feel traumatised after recent events with villain Mick - and it soon leads to a row with his cousin Lily Platt when she admits she locked him out of the classroom on purpose.
