Coronation Street certainly doesn’t hold back with the shocks next week, as confirmed in our new spoiler videos, with a number of familiar faces set to take the residents of Weatherfield by storm.
Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) is back on the eponymous Street and hiding in plain sight, which Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) finds out the hard way when he corners her in the ginnel.
Tracy harbours the fugitive for a time but things take an unexpected turn when a neighbour and friend comes calling at No. 1, leaving the florist worried they’re about to get caught.
Roy Cropper (David Neilson), meanwhile, feels like he has no choice but to intervene when he spots Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) buying drugs from a dealer at the precinct – but one character ends up injured following a showdown.
And Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) gets the shock of her life when newly returned brother James (Jason Callender) makes quite an offer.
For a first look at all the above, we’ve got a brand new batch of spoiler clips so check them out for a preview of what’s to come.

What will she say?
Friday March 21
Tracy is harbouring Rob at No. 1 and they’re left spooked when Mary knocks on the door. Tracy worries she’s been rumbled but Mary shouts through the letterbox that she needs to get to an emergency dentist appointment, hence the urgency.
Relieved that she doesn’t know anything, Tracy vows to get rid of Mary while Rob gets his stuff together.
But are they really out of the woods?
