I thought they said Sarah was going to get herself together and be strong when she is at risk of jail.
Coronation Street's Sarah Platt will find herself in deadly danger once again later this month when she is held hostage by Billy Mayhew's troubled brother Lee.
An increasingly anxious Sarah (Tina O'Brien) will be targeted by drug addict Lee in tense scenes, which will leave her fearing for her life.
When Lee learns that Sarah is desperate to see Billy, he seizes an opportunity to get his hands on some money and lures her round to his bedsit.
While Sarah waits anxiously for the vicar, Lee steals Sarah's phone from her bag and calls Billy to inform him that he's holding her hostage.
Billy is horrified to learn that Lee will only release Sarah in return for £1,000 and soon recruits Todd Grimshaw and David Platt to check out some addresses in search of his wayward sibling.

While Billy desperately tries to raise the cash, a jittery Sarah seemingly has her worst nightmare confirmed when Lee dubiously claims that Callum Logan is still alive.
When a terrified Sarah attempts to make a run for it, Lee grabs her and they wrestle on the floor, but things soon take an even more worrying turn when Sarah breaks down - reminded of her previous ordeal at the hands of Callum.
It doesn't take long for Lee to realise that Sarah is mentally unstable, but will David and Billy be able to reach her before it's too late?

Coronation Street's Michelle Connor makes a heartbreaking decision next week as she vows to walk out on Weatherfield and Steve McDonald for good.
Michelle reaches the end of her tether when it seems that Steve (Simon Gregson) may never forgive her for cheating on him with Will Chatterton.
Completely unaware that Steve is actually trying to pluck up the courage to make peace with her, Michelle seeks an escape by looking into a possible new singing job on a cruise ship.
The final straw comes when Steve's friend Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) signs him up for some dating websites, despite Steve insisting that he still only has eyes for Michelle.

Michelle sees Steve's messages

When Steve finally makes a brave move and invites Michelle over to the cab office so they can talk, their meeting takes a very unexpected turn as she spots a string of messages on his phone from the dating sites.
Seeing this as the final nail in the coffin for her marriage, a devastated Michelle tells Maria Connor that she has now accepted the job on the ship because it's clear that Steve has moved on.
Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle, revealed: "She has got to the point where she just thinks there is nothing left for her. Carla has gone, her son is abroad and now it looks like her marriage is over.
"So when her friend tells her about the job on the cruise ship, it just seems like the right thing to do. She still loves singing and it feels like a fresh start for her. She can't bear the thought of staying in Weatherfield and seeing Steve every day.
"If Steve is not going to forgive her, I can totally understand her desire to get away. She probably is also doing it to try and call Steve's bluff, but that is a dangerous game as it looks very much as though he is going to let her go."

She continued: "It has been really difficult for Michelle, as Steve has frozen her out and she can't get through to him. She has got to the point where she really doesn't feel there is anything more she can do to try and get him to come round and forgive her.
"Michelle is the first person to admit what she did was wrong, but she could have done a lot worse. Remember she was left on her own for months and he hadn't even turned up for her birthday, or so she thought.
"I'm not condoning what she did as it was wrong, but Steve does need to cut her some slack. She did confess and now she is paying the price.
"The viewers do seem to really love Steve and Michelle as a couple and most people seem to want them to sort out their differences and move on. They do think that he is being a bit harsh considering what he has done to Michelle in the past."

Marsh added that Michelle has absolutely no idea that Steve is still pining for her.
"He is doing far too good a job of being cross with her and freezing her out," she laughed. "She genuinely believes that this is the end and that he is never going to forgive her.
"The viewers will be wanting to bang their heads together. It's one of those times when you are shouting at the screen. It is a real Ross and Rachel storyline."
Is the McDonalds' marriage really over?
