But first up, let's recap on what's happening this week.

In true soap style, the path of true love is awash with obstacles on the morning of the big day… Both the bride and groom are late, David Platt sticks his beak in, and, having clocked the looks Sarah and Gary have been giving each other, he urges Gary to think twice before putting a ring on it with Maria if it’s actually Sarah he’s still in love with.

Viewers will have to wait to see if this pair do get hitched, and whether Gary will be whisking his beloved off on honeymoon (we hear Beacon Woods is nice…)

Across the cobbles, after weeks of thinking about it over, Abi Franklin finally calls the social worker and is delighted she's allowed to meet with the twins Charlie and Lexi to say goodbye before they leave for Australia.
