Aadi can't understand why Asha is siding with Corey and disbelieving her friends. However she soon comes clean - she despises Corey and doesn't trust him as far as she can throw him, but is determined to get him to trust her enough to let slip the truth.

Ed returns back from his trip to Birmingham to find that Ronnie has 'made over' his campervan. Ed is furious, but Jenny insists he was trying to do a nice thing and drags them both to The Rover's to hash out their differences and make up.

Sharon makes a plan to find out Simon's whereabouts. Taking advantage of her blossoming friendship with Dev, Sharon logs into Aadi's gaming console while Dev is out on a booze run and messages Simon, asking where he is. Will Simon take the bait?

Over at number 3, Yasmeen and Eileen confront Cathy about the mess she's making and gently suggest it's time she move on. Not taking the hint, Cathy gushes about how safe she feels at Yasmeen's place and the next day Yasmeen despairs when Cathy accepts an order for an exercise bike.

After an awkward conversation with Fiz about Tyrone's affair, Jenny realises her chemistry with Ronnie is getting out of hand and tells him to move out.

Alina tells Tyrone that she's not ready to move out of the salon flat and when Debbie offers them first refusal Tyrone is determined to buy it for them. Later, Emma lets slip to Fiz that Tyrone and Alina are looking to buy the flat together. How will Fiz react.

Ronnie breaks the news to his brother that Jenny has kicked him out of the pub, he's selling his half of the business and will soon be gone with the wind. Feeling an unexpected wave of affection, Ed suggests that maybe Ronnie could stay in the campervan.

Having successfully located Simon thanks to her stunt with the games console, Sharon sneaks a picture of Sam as he makes his way home from school and tips off Harvey that he's on his way over to have tea with Gail and his mum.

Intercepting Sam, Harvey's sidekick Noddy lures Sam into his van and Sharon watches from Rita's flat, horrified by what she's done. Soon Natasha realises that Sam has gone missing and his frantic with worry. At the safehouse, Nick and Leanne get word of Sam's disappearance.

But first, here's everything coming up in Corrie this week...

Following the violent attack on Nina Lucas and Seb Franklin last week which left them both in the hospital, Kelly Neelan is arrested under suspicion of being involved.

While Asha Alahan reels that people thinks her friends are involved and Kelly begs Corey Brent to tell the truth, Corey's dad Stefan has other ideas.

In the hospital, Abi Franklin bombards Nina with questions about the night of the attack but realising she doesn't remember, Nina becomes emotional.

This storyline was inspired by the murder of Sophie Lancaster in Bacup, Lancashire in 2007. Soap bosses have worked closely on the storyline with The Sophie Lancaster Foundation which was set up by Sophie’s mum Sylvia in the wake of her daughter’s death, to raise awareness and understanding of subcultures.

Sharon crosses a line

Sylvia said, "I know first-hand the abuse, harassment and violence that alternative people suffer.

“Hate crime is usually directed at already stigmatised and minority groups and Sophie was assaulted three times before that final, sustained and brutal attack that took her life - but she never reported the earlier assaults.

“Coronation Street covering this issue means such a huge amount to me. We want alternative people to know that they shouldn't be putting up with this prejudice and intolerance, and they should report it."
