Eva Price and Johnny Connor can't reach an agreement on what's best for baby Susie

Johnny decides to take matters into his own hands by taking baby Susie, with plans to ditch Coronation Street for Spain.

But with Johnny's health deteriorating and Liz McDonald trying to talk sense into him, will he run off or return Susie back to the street?

Liz McDonald actress, Bev Collard, chatted about the week's events.

She said: "Liz understands what Johnny is going through but she really does think that Susie should be with Eva.

"She knows that she has to go and see him as she thinks she is the best person to persuade him to come back. The police are looking for him and Eva is all over the media with her police appeal so time is against her.

"When she gets there he totally breaks down, he can’t bear the thought of losing his granddaughter. She tries to convince him that he has to give himself up but he just won’t listen."

Will Liz convince Johnny to stay, or will he persuade her to start a new life with him abroad?
