Steeeeeeeephen makes a mistake that puts his plan in jeopardy

Paul goes back to the yard, but is he ready to start work again?

Summer wonders if her boyfriend is as nice as he makes out to be.

Is Summer's boyfriend Stephen? Now that would be a couple that really deserve each other...especially if it means they move in together somewhere in the Canadian outback and are never heard from again.

Coronation Street is set to tackle the issue of non-consensual sex with a new storyline involving Amy Barlow and Aaron Sandford.

In scenes airing on March 3, a drunk Amy and Aaron head back to their flat following Aaron's heated argument with his girlfriend Summer.

The two soon start kissing and move to the bedroom, where Amy begins to undress before revealing that she feels sick and rolling away from him.

Aaron, on the other hand, continues to kiss Amy and decides for her that they will have sex.

It's not until the next day that Amy learns how far things went, realises she was unable to consent to sex and was therefore raped by Aaron, who tries to convince her that they both wanted it to happen.

As family, friends and the police get involved, viewers will see the different reactions and understandings of non-consensual sex as both teens struggle with what happened that night.

Coronation Street hopes the narrative will spark conversations between families and friends regarding some of the issues surrounding sex among young people, such as consent, awareness, respect and education.

Researchers from the ITV soap have also collaborated with The Schools Consent Project, a charity that sends legally trained volunteers into schools to provide workshops on the legal definition of sexual consent and key sexual offences.

Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow, opened up about the storyline and admitted that she was initially "anxious" to be taking the lead on such an "important issue".

She said: "There are so many different viewpoints from the characters, but for us it was important that when we portray that night it?s clear that while Amy doesn?t say the words, she definitely doesn't consent.

"That meant that we had to highlight her usual behaviour in the run up to the episode so that she didn?t act uncharacteristically, the characters were getting closer before the event, but even though they were friends that doesn?t mean it?s ok for him to do what he wants, this shouldn?t be a grey area.

"It?s huge to be a young actress on the show and to be given a storyline like this because it shows how much faith the team has in us, which in turn gives us the confidence to tackle the story. It won?t end here either, it will be interesting to see the character develop in a different way because this will stay with Amy for a long time.

"It?s important to note the way it will affect her mental health and wellbeing going forward, which is something else we want to highlight with this story."
