CHECK OUT: Coronation Street Monday 23 - Friday 27 August:

The week begins with Liam being rushed to hospital when he suffers what paramedics think is an asthma attack. Maria is shocked to learn that vehicle pollution is a leading cause of asthma, and she resolves to get rid of her car and wants Gary to do the same.

Tyrone is confused about his feelings for Fiz now that they're spending more time together again while Hope is seeing the youth justice officer. As the pair discuss their next moves, they're spied by Emma whose suspicions are peaked.

Despite insisting she's not interested, Jenny has snide commentary when she hears that Ronnie and Debbie had lunch together. Determined to see Jenny happy, Daisy encourages Ronnie to make a move because Jenny won't be single for long.

Gary isn't happy about selling his work van but Maria is on the warpath. When Gary tells her he wants to hand over the cash to support Kelly and Imran anonymously, a slighted Maria tells him that if he puts Kelly before her and Liam, she'll leave him.

Over at number three, Michael is getting tired of feigning enthusiasm for Grace's plan to set up home together. When Ronnie picks up on his nephew's hesitance and tells him that he needs to be honest with Grace and tell her that he doesn't love her. Michael is upset when he realise his uncle is right.

Todd is grateful to George for standing by him during his recent brush with the law and as a gesture of goodwill gets started on a clear out of the offices at the funeral home. But he's shocked to find Phelan's ashes, and George says that he hasn't found the right moment to scatter them.

Imran is prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure that Kelly can clear her name - but he's unprepared when his ex wife Sabeen turns up and informs him that she's on Corey's legal team and he hasn't got a chance. They lock horns at the pre trial review but has Imran done enough?

Ronnie asks Jenny out on another date and after a heart to heart with Daisy, Jenny agrees that she should give him a chance. Jenny meets with Johnny to discuss moving on and is touched when Johnny says that while they still love each other, their marriage is over and she should do what makes her happy.

But before all that, here's everything coming up this week on Corrie...

Fiz Brown spends the night in prison after insisting she started the fire at Alina's flat, but outside Evelyn Plummer is adamant that Tyrone Dobbs needs to tell the police the truth.

When Fiz is released without charge and finds out what Tyrone did, she's furious for dropping Hope in it, but Tyrone insists that Hope needs professional help.

Feeling sidelined over Tyrone's family drama, Alina Popp ends up making a bold proposal.

Maria joins forces with Sally Webster

But when she struggles to get signatures on her petition, will she go back to the drawing board?

Leanne Battersby and Nick Tilsley finally agree on a deal with Debbie Webster over the Bistro but Leanne is offended when Nick suggests they might not be able to work together.
