Over on Coronation Street, Fiz Stape and Chesney Brown get a big surprise when their mum Cilla arrives back in Weatherfield.
When it becomes apparent that Roy Cropper doesn't like being alone in his flat following a shock break-in, Tyrone (Alan Halsall) and Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) invite him for dinner with Chesney and Sinead.
However, their evening is interrupted by a knock at the door and everyone is stunned when Cilla enters.

Fiz and Chesney are shocked to see Cilla.
Clutching an overnight bag with her wrist in plaster, Cilla's arrival takes everyone by surprise, but Fiz and Tyrone reluctantly agree that she can stay on their sofa for the night.
The next morning, Cilla's behaviour baffles everyone as she plays the doting granny to Hope and Joseph and is utterly charming towards her family.
Fiz and Chesney are both convinced that she is up to something, but Sinead later discovers that there could be another reason for Cilla's return when she spots her convulsing in pain…
It was previously announced that Wendi Peters would be returning to the show for a six-week guest stint as Cilla.
Peters portrayed the role of Cilla between 2003 and 2007. Cilla's arrival will pave the way for Fiz's temporary departure from the show due Jennie McAlpine's maternity leave.
Coronation Street airs Cilla's return on Wednesday, October 22 at 7.30pm on ITV.
