Coronation Street's Mary Taylor is forced to recall traumatic memories from her past on the day of her wedding next week.

Mary (Patti Clare) has agreed to a sham wedding with Norris Cole in a bid to win a "Mr & Mrs" competition, but there are plenty of last-minute obstacles next week which could ruin the big day.

The supposedly romantic occasion brings Mary's son Jude Appleton (Paddy Wallace) back to the cobbles as he's convinced that the ceremony is the real deal.

This time, Jude brings his wife Angie (Victoria Ekanoye) and their baby with him, giving fans a first look at Corrie's brand new family.

Making an immediate impact, Angie quickly realises that something isn't right between Mary and Norris (Malcolm Hebden), so she starts asking some very awkward questions about their "relationship".

Mary is visibly nervous as Angie gives her a grilling, which only leaves her daughter-in-law even more suspicious over what could be going on.

On the day of the wedding itself, Mary confides in Bethany Platt about how she's not proud of deceiving Jude and his family like this – which is sure to leave viewers wondering whether she'll call the whole thing off at the last minute.

Later on, as Jude walks Mary down the aisle, he tells her that he's thinking of tracing his father's family.

Deeply anxious over Jude's plans, Mary finds herself in turmoil in the middle of her own wedding day. Could this be the final straw and lead to Mary calling
off her marriage of convenience? She's all smiles in the picture below, but could that just be a front?

And how will Jude react later on when he hears Mary confiding in Angie about how his father was a rapist?

Coronation Street first revealed Mary's traumatic history last autumn, as she told Norris that she was raped by a local minister at the age of 14. Nine months later, she left a newborn Jude on the step outside a church after her mum had failed to support her over the pregnancy.

Coronation Street airs Mary and Norris's wedding day on Friday, August 25 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.

Mary still gets married even though Jude comes back

[Perdita]

Monday (1)

Shona can't believe it when a scratch card Bethany sent her to thank her for all her support wins £6,000. Shona's squeals of delight in the café are witnessed by Zoe, who's there giving Gemma a hard time.

Zoe phones Macca and tells him that Clayton's mum has won some serious money. As Shona celebrates her win in The Rovers, Macca arrives and beckons her outside. What does he want?

Meanwhile, clearly stressed, Norris reckons they should abandon the whole marriage charade but Mary won't hear of it, pointing out how disappointed Jude would be. As Jude arrives with his wife Angie and their baby, Mary can barely contain her excitement.

Elsewhere, when Eileen confides in Nicola that Phelan is behaving strangely, Nicola assures her she has nothing to worry about.

Also, Chesney looks after Hope and Ruby for the day, but as they try to leave the house for the community centre, Chesney suffers a panic attack.

Finally, when Liz spots another scam leaflet in the Kabin window, she tells Norris about her plight and asks if she can take the leaflet.


Monday (2)

Intrigued by Phelan's behaviour, Nicola follows him. Phelan makes out that he's working on a house conversion and is just disposing of an old mattress. However, Nicola is concerned to see a gash on Phelan's head. As Eileen and Nicola fuss over Phelan's injury, Nicola suggests he could donate the mattress to a homeless shelter.

At home, a stressed Phelan takes his anger out on Nicola, who's shocked by his outburst. Apologising, he later shows her a receipt for some mattresses which he's donated to a shelter, but he is still clearly on the edge.

Meanwhile, Macca tells Shona that Clayton is suicidal and £6,000 would give him the chance of an appeal and a normal life. Shona quizzes Todd, wanting to know if there's any truth in Macca's words or if he's simply trying to take her money. Todd explains that occasionally it's possible to get someone out of prison on a technicality, but it's unlikely in Clayton's case.

Elsewhere, having found out that Chesney never showed up at the puppet workshop with the kids, Sinead and Fiz discuss Chesney's movements over the last few days and are concerned to realise he's never left the house.

Also, as Audrey and Yasmeen coo over Mary's grandson, Mary reveals that the wedding will be an intimate affair without their friends present. Angie is suspicious, but Mary is thrilled when Jude agrees to walk her down the aisle.

Finally, Liz shows Sean her laptop and explains how she's adopted a false name and lured the perpetrator of the scam leaflets into exchanging emails.


Wednesday

Sinead frets over Chesney, convinced that he hasn't been himself since the attack. Fiz suggests they check on him.

Masking his nerves, Chesney tells them he's taking Ruby and Fiz into town for the afternoon and Sinead is relieved. However, as they set off on the bus, Chesney suffers a panic attack. Demanding the driver opens the doors, he flees and leaves the girls on the bus.

Meanwhile, Nicola introduces Phelan to her boyfriend Scott, who's a policeman, and shows him some pictures of a derelict building they've bought. Phelan reluctantly agrees to help them convert it into a youth centre. But when it becomes clear that Scott has no idea he is Nicola's father, Phelan is hurt.

Elsewhere, Angie treats Mary to a spa day before her wedding and quizzes her about her relationship with Norris. Mary's discomfort is evident and Angie is quietly concerned. Back in the pub, Norris gives Mary a hug and assures her that her he's honoured to become her husband. Mary's thrilled, whilst Angie eyes them with suspicion.

Also, when Gemma complains about her sleeping arrangements at Number 6, Cathy urges her to make up with Rita.

Finally, Shona visits Clayton in prison. She's taken aback when he hugs her, saying he's pleased to see her. Clayton begs Shona to spend her winnings on helping him to get out. But when Clayton lets slip that he's running a drugs operation from prison, will she waiver? Later, David is angry to discover Shona has been visiting Clayton, but backs off when he sees how upset she is.


Friday (1)

As Bethany does Mary's make-up, Mary admits that she's not proud of lying to Jude about her sham wedding. Jude, Angie, George, Sean, Tracy and Dev gather for the wedding.

As Jude walks Mary down the aisle, he tells her how he's thinking of tracing his father's family. Mary does her best to cover her shock. All at sea, will Mary go ahead with a marriage of convenience?

Meanwhile, having found out Shona's plans from Todd, Sarah breaks the news to David that she intends to fund an appeal for Clayton. David is incredulous. Fired up, David marches into the café and confronts Shona. Locking the café door, Shona turns on David, telling him it's time they cleared the air.

Elsewhere, with still no news of Chesney, Sinead and Fiz are beside themselves with worry. When Tyrone hears that Roy's allotment shed has been broken, he finds Chesney there cowering alone.

Also, Maria and Will welcome Robert and Michelle back from Brighton. Giving Michelle a loving kiss, Robert heads off to work. Will masks his irritation.

Finally, as Rita prepares for Norris and Mary's wedding, she's perplexed when she can't remember where she's going.


Friday (2)

As Mary explains to Angie how she was raped as a teenager by Jude's father who was a family friend, neither of them notices Jude, who overhears every word. As Norris assures Jude that Mary was only trying to protect him from the awful truth, Mary explains to Jude how he was taken from her as a baby but she's never stopped loving him. How will Jude react Mary's revelation?

Jude reveals that they're thinking of relocating to Manchester anyway. Mary's thrilled, while Angie looks askance at Jude.

Meanwhile, playing the concerned friend, Will persuades Michelle to let him take her into town and take her mind off recent events. But when he starts quizzing her about Robert's relationship with Rich, Michelle becomes defensive. Has Will overstepped the mark and exposed himself?

Elsewhere, a jubilant Eileen announces she's passed her driving test.

Finally, David and Shona admit how much they like each other but recognise how difficult their relationship is going to be.
