Coronation Street killer Stephen Reid arouses further suspicion next week as he tries to cover up the truth about Rufus Donahue's murder.

Stephen is driven to carry out risky measures as Rufus' widow Lou remains convinced that that her husband's death was not an accident.

As we've already revealed, upcoming episodes see Lou realise that a tie-pin was found at the scene of the crime and it didn't belong to Rufus.

Lou confides in Stephen, who recognises the tie-pin as his own. Stephen then panics when Lou vows to tell the police everything, believing that the tie-pin could be evidence of foul play.

Next week, Lou arrives for a meeting at Underworld and tells Stephen about her dealings with the police.

Lou confirms that the police have agreed to look into the strange tie-pin, so Stephen realises that he needs to take action.

Stephen steals Lou's hotel key from her bag and goes snooping around her room, safe in the knowledge that she's still busy speaking to Carla Barlow at the factory.

The schemer is pleased when he finds the tie pin and puts it into his pocket. However, Stephen panics when he suddenly hears someone at the bedroom door and fears that he's about to be rumbled.

Later in the week, Lou turns up at the factory again and initially claims that she's there for another meeting.

Lou's true agenda becomes clear when she reveals that she has really turned up to find out who stole the tie pin from her hotel room. How will Stephen respond?

Coronation Street's Evelyn Plummer fears she has lost Tyrone Dobbs for good next week, as the truth is exposed about her years of deception.

Evelyn's worst fears are realised when Tyrone learns that his biological mother Cassie is still alive.

In next week's episodes, Evelyn and Cassie both return to Weatherfield after a few weeks away. Evelyn has been trying to get Cassie clean following her latest drugs relapse.

Evelyn and Cassie move into a rented flat at the Weatherfield Precinct. Evelyn is determined to continue keeping a close watch on her troubled daughter, still not trusting her to be alone.

Cassie isn't keen on being shut away from the outside world, so she encourages Evelyn to let her go out to buy a coffee.

Evelyn agrees as Cassie has been clean for weeks, but she worries when she realises that her purse has gone missing.

Later, Cassie tracks down Tyrone at the Bistro. Tyrone recognises her as "Cath" ? the fake identity that Cassie used when she recently visited the Dobbs house.

A panicking Evelyn rushes into the Bistro, but she's not quick enough to stop Cassie from telling Tyrone that she's his mother.

Tyrone's world is turned upside-down as he realises that Evelyn has been lying to him for years about his biological mum supposedly being dead.

Later in the week, Evelyn gives Cassie a hard time for taking matters into her own hands, pointing out that she has created a terrible mess.

Evelyn then calls to see Tyrone at the garage, explaining that she was only trying to protect him by keeping Cassie out of his life. She adds that she'd planned to tell him the truth once she knew that Cassie was clean on a long-term basis.

Tyrone still isn't sure what to do next, so he confides in Kevin and Abi Webster.

Drawing on her own experiences, Abi encourages Tyrone to think long and hard before letting a recovering drug addict into his family's lives.

Tyrone goes ahead and visits the flat in the precinct, but what will he say to Cassie and Evelyn?
