CHECK OUT: Corrie Monday 22 - Friday 16 March:
When Brian turns up to open the Kabin one morning and finds the word 'TROLL' spray painted on his shutters, Cathy knows she owes him an explanation. A mortified Cathy explains that she'd created a profile to undermine the MacDonald's fundraising attempts and deeply regrets her actions.
Terrified by the mess she's found herself in, Leanne is sitting in her car counting the money she's picked up for Harvey when a police officer raps on the window. A panicked Leanne rolls down the window and is flooded with relief when the officer says there's been a spate of car thefts in the area and that she should be vigilant.
Tyrone's mind has been consumed by thoughts of Alina and when he realises she's left her jacket is pleased for a reason to pop round. Returning to the garage he's greeted by Fiz who gives him the surprise news that she's organised a wedding in Greece for them. Tyrone is obviously less than thrilled and a humiliated Fiz leaves in tears.
Following her brush with the law, Leanne rings Harvey to say the deal is off, she's no longer doing his dirty work. But a menacing Harvey has other ideas, insisting she's been so good at the job, he's moving her onto bigger deals - and if she values Simon's life, she'll comply.
In the cafƩ, Tyrone is full of remorse as he explains to Fiz that his infatuation with Alina is just a passing phase and that Fiz and the girls are his entire world. Fiz accepts his pleas to do anything it takes to put things right, and when she passes Alina on the walk home makes it clear she's to stay away from Tyrone.
An understanding Brian tells Cathy he'll sort it, and apologises to Tracy and Amy for 'his' comments online, leaving Cathy grateful. But when they all head over to the Rovers for a friendly pint, they're shocked when Jenny tells Brian he's barred for the trouble he's been causing! Will Cathy come clean?
Summer has been stirring the pot and tells Todd that it's clear that Billy still has feelings for Paul. Taking her comments to heart, Todd suggests a friendly drink in town with Paul, where he 'just so happens' to bump into an old friend, Jimmi. With Jimmi and Paul getting on like a house on fire, Todd makes his excuses and leaves - later excitedly telling Billy that he bumped into Paul on a date.
Sick to her stomach at what she's got herself caught up in, Leanne resolves to report Harvey to the police but soon finds herself in custody. Leanne is desperate to keep Simon's name out of it but officers say they've been watching Harvey for a while and know that he grooms young boys to sell for him.
With Grace and baby Glory still in hospital, Michael tells his family that she's suffering with anaemia. A pensive Ronnie admits that he's a carrier of sickle cell disease and that could be why Glory is sick - but Ed bristles at the implication that Ronnie is Glory's grandfather and after speaking with Aggie, confirms there's no link.
Kelly reminds Imran of her proposition but Imran is dismissive of the idea he and Toyah could foster her. Later on, running into them on the street, a brazen Kelly walks up to Toyah and introduces her, saying she'd like them to consider fostering her. Toyah is impressed by her confidence.
Making a deal with the police, Leanne returns home and lies to Harvey, saying she didn't have time to do the drop. Assuring him she's now on the job, Leanne heads out in her nurses uniform and her stash, but doesn't realise Simon has followed her. When he realises what she's doing and confronts her, a panicked Leanne instructs him to go home and that she'll explain later.
But first, here's what's coming up on Corrie this week...
The Bailey family are preparing to expand their brood, with Grace Vickers rushed to hospital when her contractions start.
But it's not all good news when Ed Bailey's brother Ronnie drops a major bombshell in the waiting room, and Michael reveals not all is well with his baby daughter.
Elsewhere, Leanne Battersby finds herself way in over her head after resorting to desperate measures to get Simon Barlow out of trouble and things don't go to plan. Meanwhile, Simon is willing to take the wrap for his crimes.
Tyrone Dobson's crush is spiralling out of control, Cathy Matthew's wants revenge on the McDonald family and Kelly Neelan has a proposition for Imran Habeeb.
