She hasn't exactly been honest...

Author: Marianna MansonPublished 27th Oct 2020

Ever since Debbie Webster arrived back on the cobbles last October after a 34-year hiatus, we've been unsure whether everything is as it seems.

And this week her web of lies begins to unravel when Abi Franklin has her suspicions about her "high flying" career and calls her out in front of her brother Kevin Webster.

But Abi doesn't know what a can of worms she's about to open and soon the truth spills out.

Michael learns Grace is pregnant

Elsewhere, Michael Bailey is stunned to learn that Grace is pregnant again and while James Bailey thinks she's lying, Grace is pretty convincing.

Meanwhile, Dev Alahan is furious when he thinks that Asha Alahan is sleeping with her school tormenter Corey, Emma Brooker confesses to donating Scott's money to Leanne Battersby and Leanne and Nick Tilsley uncover some concerning recordings on journalist Wendy's dictaphone.

CHECK OUT: Coronation Street Monday 2 - Friday 5 November

At Prima Doner Corey drops by to see Asha and as the pair flirt outrageously an unimpressed Aadi reminds Asha of their dads rules.

But Corey isn't about to be put off by Asha's annoying twin and when he makes a joke about Aadi being single he storms off, hurt.

When Dev plans a lad and dad day with Aadi, he tells Dev that Corey gave Asha a pair of trainers and it's clear they're sleeping together, leaving Dev frustrated.

And when he hears Asha was spotted leaving the GPs office, Dev lays into Corey in the street and accuses him of pressuring her into sex.

Undeterred by Dev's public dressing down, later on when Asha is home alone Corey pays a visit to number 7 with a suggestion.

Corey tells Asha that now she's on the pill, they should start spending more 'quality' time together. But is Asha ready to take the next step?

When Michael realises that Aggie has left her phone at home he heads over to the hospital to drop it off but is shocked by who he sees there.

Flanked by police officers, Grace is being lead away in handcuffs and when she spots him she calls out that she's pregnant.

Stunned by Grace's revelations Michael confides in his brother but James warns him that Grace could be lying about being pregnant.

While Michael does his best to heed his James' advice soon he receives a scan and a letter from Grace imploring him to visit her in prison.

Elsewhere Abi is suspicious of Debbie's unconvincing accounts of being a high flyer at work when she spots her at the Bistro despite Debbie saying she was in a work meeting.

When she next runs into her she confronts her about her lying in front of Kevin. Debbie breaks down and admits she's lost everything and is living on money borrowed from a friend.

Abi feels guilty for touching a nerve with Debbie and later on sits her down with a glass of wine in an attempt to make it up to her.

Soon Abi is spilling all about her past failed relationships and Debbie seems especially interested when she starts talking about Ray Crosby.

The next day Sally mentions to Debbie they're meeting Faye's new boyfriend for the first day and Debbie suggests they throw her a garden party.

But when Geoff does his best to ruin the party from next door Debbie mentions that she couldn't bare to live next to him, giving Sally ideas.

Within days Sally has put the house up for sale and when she mentions to Debbie they've already been offered the asking place, Debbie is weirdly invested.

Meanwhile, Emma is struggling to ignore her guilt at having accepted the pay off from Scott but when police approach her for questioning she worries it's too late to come clean.

Wracked with guilt, Emma eventually confides in Imran about accepting money from Scott to keep quiet, and giving it to Steve and Leanne for Oliver's legal fees.

Horrified by Emma's confession a stern Imran instructs her to come clean to the police right away, leaving Emma worried about what this will mean for the Battersby's.

Later on Steve arrives at the hospital and breaks the news to Leanne that the money Emma donated was actually from Scott and had been stolen.

As the family consider the implications of dealing in stolen cash Steve reiterates that if anyone finds out where the money came from they could be in a whole world of trouble.

Back at home, in a bid to help out Simon agrees to an interview with Wendy, the newspaper journalist, but has ulterior motives.

While Wendy is momentarily distracted, Simon swipes her dictaphone and when Leanne and Nick listen through her recordings, they're in for a shock.

But before all that, here's what's happening this week on Corrie...

Newcomer Scott has Johnny Connor by the scruff of his neck as he forces him into helping him out with the Bistro raid.

But when Johnny falls unconscious Scott barges into the Bistro by himself and soon pulls a gun on Ray and his investors, ordering them to do what he says.

Craig Tinker attempts to attack Scott without waiting for back up and soon both he and Johnny are fighting for their lives.

Asha continues to see Corey

Elsewhere Alya Nazir and Imran Habeeb realise that they'll have to sell Yasmeen Nazir's house in order to afford her legal fees and Gary Windass offers to put them in touch with an "investor friend" of his.

But soon their plan is scuppered when Yasmeen admits she signed half the house over to Geoff.
