In the latest episode of Coronation Street, Bertie faces an uncertain future following a frightening accident when he is left unattended by Jenny Connor. The drama unfolds after Jenny gifts a spa voucher to Rita Tanner, an unexpected result of a past investment by Daisy Meade’s father and Jenny’s ex-husband. Tension rises as Daisy worries about the debts she and Jenny owe to Carla Connor, leading Jenny to conceal her newfound financial windfall from Daisy, despite the stresses both women are facing.
As the week progresses, Jenny’s guilt mounts when she decides to give the spa voucher to Daisy, pretending it was a thoughtful gift to uplift her friend. Meanwhile, tensions escalate when Daisy discovers the truth about Jenny’s financial situation and confronts her about keeping the money a secret. Pressured by Carla to consider using the £60,000 for a business loan instead of a partial debt payment, Jenny is fraught with decisions that impact both her life and Bertie’s well-being.

While Jenny frantically searches for him, Bertie wanders off and finds his football in a hot tub, leading to a harrowing moment when Steve McDonald and Cassie Plumber discover him submerged in the water. As Daisy finds out what happened, her anger towards Jenny escalates, reminding her of the tragic loss of her own son and fearing that Bertie could have faced a similar fate. The episode leaves viewers anxious about Bertie’s condition after this near-drowning incident.
