Corrie’s Alan Halsall posts cryptic message after ex Lucy-Jo Hudson gives birth

Ray confronts Abi over the stolen car and tells her he's got CCTV footage of her and Kevin in the act. He promises not to show it to police... in the condition she sleeps with him.

With Ray blackmailing them with an offer of buying the garage, Kevin invites Abi round for tea to discuss. After hanging up the phone, Abi nervously knocks on Ray's hotel room door. What has she decided?

Meanwhile, Kevin confides in Tyrone that Ray is blackmailing him, admitting that if he doesn't sell him the garage he'll report them for theft.

Tyrone is livid that Kevin would jeopardise the future of the garage to help Abi. After Abi confides in Eileen about Ray's threats, Eileen urges her to tell Kevin the truth.

Bethany is convinced that Ray is making it impossible to find a restaurant job after her meddling in his affairs, and so Sarah offers her a temporary role at the new factory.

After asking Daniel for his blessing taking over Sinead's old job, Bethany accepts Sarah's offer – but worries about working in the same place as Beth.

Sarah warns Beth that with Bethany working at the factory for the foreseeable, she expects her to be nothing but welcoming – but Beth clearly isn't happy about the turn of events.

Struggling to fit in at the factory, Bethany is even more gutted to receive a rejection letter from the creative writing course she applied to. Instead, she's offered an internship on a magazine – in London.

Despite the incredible offer, Bethany is hesitant to accept, worried about being so far away and that she'll miss Daniel. Sarah is incredulous she could waste an opportunity for a boy.

Gemma has been struggling to sleep since Aled's diagnosis, watching over his cot all hours of the day and night. When she attends a baby senses class on the advice of her doctor, she's thrilled when the teacher, Vanessa, compliments her parenting skills.

Vanessa invites Gemma along to a mummy yoga class she runs, insisting that she and a pal will help with the quads. Gemma tentatively agrees, but struggles with the poses in her jeans.

After the class, Gemma is buoyed and as she tells Chesney all about her new friends, Chesney is pleased, hopeful that Gemma has turned a corner.

Elsewhere, things are darkening between Geoff and Yasmeen, who is starting to feel unhappy. Geoff blows his top after Yasmeen fails to have dinner ready, will she confide in Alya?

The bidding war over No. 1 has been raging on, with Tracy and Steve and Pete and Carla both convinced they'll win the house. As they gather round to hear the deed read aloud, Ken reminisces about the happy times he's had here.

While the boys gather at Speed Dahl for Adam's stag do, Audrey, Bethany, Gail, Carla, Leanne, Liz, Mary, Sally and Toyah head to the Rover's Return for Sarah's hen.

Pinot Griogio's are sunk and tequila shots downed and everyone is having a great time until an uninvited guest storms the party.

As Beth angrily accuses Bethany of trying to steal Sinead's life – with first her man and now her job – Sarah tries to sooth the situation.

James has been looking forward to hanging out with Danny again, but is gutted when Danny says they should be just friends. Seeing his confidence falter, Danny encourages James to stay true to himself.
