We haven't had a believable explanation of why Adam has left his life in Canada (seemingly permanently) that I've heard. I'm guessing we'll find out it was well dodgy, but surely his family would be questioning why he's not in any hurry to return?

Monday (1)
When Steve suggests they could drive out for lunch, Michelle snaps at him and says the only person she wants to spend time with is Ruairi. Having slapped on some make-up and a pair of heels, Michelle suddenly announces she's changed her mind and she'd like to go out for lunch after all. Steve is taken aback.
Over lunch in the Bistro, Michelle hits the bottle. When Steve suggests she should slow down, Michelle turns on him - pointing out that she's not breastfeeding so it doesn't matter. Steve confides in Robert that he doesn't know how they're going to get through this.
Clearly drunk and to the embarrassment of the other diners, Michelle proposes a toast to her dead baby before storming out upset. Deeply worried, Steve confides in Liz about how Michelle stormed out and he has no idea where she is.
Meanwhile, Phelan sets about erasing all traces of his fight with Andy. Will Phelan be able to cover his tracks convincingly?
Elsewhere, Peter starts work at Street Cars, only to find his first fare is Nick and Simon. In the taxi, Nick mocks Peter for being a hopeless father so Peter snaps, ordering him out of the cab. But as Nick throws open the door, disaster strikes.
Also, Cathy approaches Gemma hoping for a job at the kebab shop.
Finally, when Ken reveals that he intends to put a DNR order in place in case he should suffer another stroke, Tracy, Adam and Daniel are horrified.
Monday (2)
Steve, Tim, Robert, Johnny and Kate set off in search of Michelle, all clearly worried for her safety. It's Robert who gets to Michelle first and he's shocked at the state he finds her in. Robert phones Steve and assures him that Michelle is safe. Gazing at Robert intently, a vulnerable Michelle leans in for a kiss. Will Robert give into his desires?
Soon afterwards, rather than returning home, Michelle tells Robert she'd like to visit Ruairi in the Chapel of Rest. As they set off, Michelle pours her heart out about her grief for Ruairi and Steve's apparent lack of understanding. Robert listens sympathetically.
As Robert and Michelle arrive at the chapel, will Michelle continue to lean on Robert for support? Or is it Steve that she needs?
Meanwhile, having loaded the incriminating evidence from the fight at the flat into his van, Phelan lies that Andy flooded the flat in an act of defiance before he left. Will everyone continue to be taken in by Phelan's web of lies?
Elsewhere, as Simon waits to be seen by a doctor, Nick and Peter blame themselves for his injury in the car door. As the doctor explains to Simon that he's dislocated his finger and will need a local anaesthetic, Simon looks to Peter for comfort, causing Nick to feel left out. Will this fracture Peter and Nick's broken relationship further?
Also, when Dev tells Gemma that she had no right to hire Cathy without consulting him, Cathy heads out disappointed. Will Dev change his mind?
Finally, Shona is horrified to find Roy listening to classical music and playing with his train set, assuming he must be terribly lonely. When Shona confides in Brian with how worried she is about Roy, Brian hatches a plan.
Wednesday
Steve enters the Chapel of Rest to find Michelle asleep on a chair. He gazes emotionally at Ruairi's tiny body in the coffin. Michelle wakes and is grateful to find Steve there. Promising never to mention the kiss, Robert heads off.
Michelle then kisses Ruairi goodbye and tells Steve that she wants the funeral to be a private affair with just the two of them present. Billy conducts Ruairi's funeral as the two parents come together, united in their grief.
Meanwhile, when a delivery man calls at The Rovers with a parcel, Liz is horrified to realise it's the moses basket she ordered for Ruairi. Liz calls on Leanne and offers her the basket, explaining that she doesn't want Michelle or Steve to see it.
Leanne is touched and when she feels her baby kick, she allows Liz to feel it too. But how will Nick react when he arrives home to see the gift - and to the realisation that Liz knows their baby is Steve's?
Elsewhere, Adam barges his way into the factory and demands a valuation of the business, but Aidan and Johnny tell him to sling his hook, promising they'll see him in court. Adam approaches Alya and suggests that if she can do some digging and help him with his case against the Connors, he'll make it worth her while.
When Alya suggests she deserves a promotion, Aidan is dismissive and leaves her annoyed. Has this pushed Alya to make the deal with Adam?
Also today, when Brian flouts the house rules yet again, Norris tells him to consider himself evicted. As Roy mulls over his next model railway project with Shona, they're interrupted by the arrival of Brian with all his worldly goods in tow. But does Roy really want a companion?
Friday (1)
Leanne tears a strip off Nick for his lack of sensitivity towards Liz. As Nick and Leanne continue to row, they're interrupted by the arrival of Toyah. Under pressure, Leanne admits to Toyah that the baby she's carrying isn't Nick's but is actually Steve McDonald's, leaving Toyah stunned.
Later, Nick offers Liz an awkward apology and Liz assures him that she doesn't want to cause any trouble for him and Leanne. As Nick heads off, he's perturbed to spot Leanne chatting to Steve outside the café. Reaching a decision, Nick heads to the Bistro and sets about his drastic measures. When Toyah interrupts him, she's horrified about what he is planning.
Meanwhile, handing Adam the keys to the factory and a fake password for Johnny's computer, Alya assures him the place will be empty at lunch time. Alya leads the girls to the pub to celebrate Izzy's birthday, while Adam tries but fails to access Johnny's computer. But when Aidan and Johnny suddenly appear, has Adam been rumbled?
Elsewhere, when Beth unwittingly makes a crass comment suggesting Michelle could always try for another baby, Steve and Michelle are furious.
Also, it's Tracy's 40th birthday. Daniel gives her a wine appreciation course whilst Adam has clearly forgotten. When Ken tells Tracy that he wouldn't be very good company, her birthday lunch is a total flop with just Daniel and Luke attending. However, things still manage to go from bad to worse.
Finally, Roy suggests Brian starts looking for somewhere to live.
Friday (2)
Toyah warns Nick that Leanne is not going to like his crazy idea. Under pressure, Toyah feels forced to tell Peter how Nick is planning to take Simon to live in Edinburgh. Fired up, Peter confronts Nick about his plans. Leanne is also stunned, pointing out it's the first she's heard of it.
Later, Peter reveals to Nick that he knows Steve is the father of Leanne's baby and that if he tries to pull any more stunts, he'll spill the beans. How will Nick react?
Meanwhile, as Adam rows with Alya for sabotaging his plans, Ken approaches and demands to know what's going on. Ken tears a strip off Adam for attempting to rip off the Connors. Adam squirms, while Daniel enjoys his discomfort.
Later, Dev calls at the flat and tells Adam the rent is overdue. Making out it's a bank error, Adam assures him he'll have it soon. Daniel tells Adam he should stop arguing with Ken as the stress could bring on another stroke. Adam apologises to Ken and tells him he'll support him in his DNR decision and suggests he should also sort out his will. Ken is grateful for his backing.
Elsewhere, Steve apologises to Michelle for losing his temper with Beth and suggests they should go and stay with her parents in Ireland, as a break will do them good. As Steve and Michelle leave for Ireland, Robert is sad to see them go.
Also, having spruced himself up, Luke returns to the Bistro and presents Tracy with her proper birthday present. Tracy's genuinely touched and opens up to Luke, telling him how she spent her 30th birthday in prison for murder. Luke is taken aback, but will her revelation scare him off?
Finally, Brian cooks Roy a lovely meal and promises he'll be out of his hair by tonight. Will this be enough to soften Roy?

Coronation Street's Ken Barlow drops a bombshell on his family next week – and let's just say that it's met with a mixed reaction.
Ken (Bill Roache) was at the centre of a huge story last autumn when he suffered a devastating stroke following a row with his son Peter.
Although Ken's health thankfully now appears to be on the mend, upcoming episodes will see him making a big decision about his future – later breaking the news to his family.
Ken will reveal that he intends to put a DNR ('do not resuscitate') order in place in case he should suffer another stroke, meaning medics won't be able to revive him if his heart stops.
Tracy, Adam and Daniel are all horrified by his decision and do their best to change his mind, but it looks like Ken's standing firm on this one as he refuses to reconsider his options.
And Ken's health worries couldn't be further from Adam's mind as he continues to follow through with his plan to rip off the Connors, even sneaking into the factory to dig for information on them.
When Ken learns of Adam's deception he's understandably horrified, leading to a huge row.
Aware that getting worked up isn't good for his dad's health, Daniel is forced to intervene, telling Adam he needs to stop arguing with Ken as the stress could bring on another stroke.
Daniel's words clearly hit a nerve with Adam, who later apologises to Ken and tells him he'll support him in his DNR decision.
Adam also advises Ken to sort out his will – and he's clearly grateful for his backing – but will the rest of the family be able to support his decision as well?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, January 23 and Friday, January 27 on ITV.

Totally agree - but hope story is different as it's so predictable
