Coronation Street's Betsy Swain is thrown behind bars next week, as DI Costello threatens to make life worse for her if Becky doesn't leave Weatherfield behind for good. Will Becky bow down, or risk Betsy suffering even more?
While Kit Green informs Lisa that her daughter has been arrested, Betsy remains holed up in a cell, feeling tired and confused. Eventually, the teenager is brought to an interview room, where a police officer reveals that DI Costello is accusing her of damaging a police car, resisting arrest and trying to attack him. As Betsy refuses to comment, can Becky or Lisa help her out of trouble?
"Becky's obviously concerned," explains Amy Cudden, who plays Becky. "She doesn't want her daughter to be in trouble. But also, Becky's been living outside of the law for four years now, so she isn't troubled by what she might have to do to help her daughter out.
"Lisa is very rules-oriented, Becky less so. She's genuinely concerned, but she knows that she'll be able to do something about it."
That said, Costello makes things even worse for Becky and Betsy when he spells out to his ex-colleague that she'd better disappear again ? or things will become more difficult for Betsy.
"There is a small, quiet voice in Becky's head that's saying, 'You might have to step away, you might have to leave your family to get on without you,'" reveals Amy.
"But I think Becky's working really, really hard to ignore that voice. She thinks, 'I might be getting them in a bit of danger, but I can also fix it.' She's got this grandiose complex, 'Whatever trouble I cause, I can fix everything because they're my family.'?
Before the arrest drama plays out, Betsy convinces Becky to model designs that she's come up with for a college project. As Becky struts around No.6, Lisa feels a smile sneak across her face and decides to join in the fun.
Amused, Betsy records the scene and uploads the video online ? which supposedly sends Becky into a spin?
"One of Becky's strategies to soften Lisa and to ingratiate herself into her family is to make them laugh,? says Amy. "To clown for them and to make them giggle; bring the lightness and playfulness to the relationship. The video is born out of that.
"They all let their guards down and have a really good laugh together, and Betsy innocently takes a video. It puts Becky in a certain amount of danger, but Becky isn't above slightly manipulating her daughter into thinking that she's made a bigger problem than she actually has.
"It's not great that Becky's image is out there, but it's also weirdly useful for her to play on Betsy and Lisa's guilt?"
As Becky and Costello's feud reaches new heights, are the Connor-Swain family in more danger than ever?
Coronation Street's Theo Silverton torments his partner Todd Grimshaw next week by cruelly inviting another man to stay the night. And the guy in question is a familiar face for soap fans, as former Hollyoaks star Andrew Hayden-Smith lands a guest role.
With tensions and secrets between the couple at an all-time high, Theo twists his betrayal to blame his struggling boyfriend ? but how will Todd react?
And with Todd still terrified that he might have bowel cancer, will this heap more misery on his shoulders at such a difficult time?
"Todd's scared he's going to die, and he can't even confide in Theo," points out our Corrie insider. "He's never needed love and support more, but the fact he's unable to tell Theo says it all. And Theo makes him suffer for it!"
The next dark turn in Todd and Theo's relationship comes as Todd waits in secret for his bowel cancer test results, without having said a word to his partner. But Todd's behaviour causes concern for George Shuttleworth, when his colleague reveals that he's going to start putting together a plan for his own funeral.
After a nudge from Christina Boyd, George snoops through Todd's emails, and he eventually finds a hospital appointment. Wanting to show Todd his unwavering support, George shows up to the ward just before Todd heads in to see the doctor for the results?
"Back on the cobbles, Theo suspects Todd is hiding something,? reveals our spy. "He swerves a business meeting with Gary Windass and a guy called Pete to confront Billy. But all Todd's ex can do is squirm?"
In the Bistro, Theo zones out of the meeting to eavesdrop on Billy. He watches him take a call from Todd and dash outside. Left behind, Theo is seething but puts on a front and orders shots.
The next day, Todd heads home hungover to face the music with Theo. He apologises for staying the night with Billy, promising that nothing happened.
But as Todd tries to explain himself, his business associate Pete ? played by Andrew ? emerges from the bathroom in just a dressing gown. Todd is horrified and confronts Theo ? has he cheated?
"Theo is brazen and unrepentant," our insider warns. "He turns it all around on Todd, accusing him of sneaking around too. But Todd's had enough and orders him to pack his bags."
Has Todd finally escaped Theo's vicious control? Or will Theo come up with another manipulative way to get back in his good books?
Andrew Hayden-Smith previously played villainous police detective Gavin Armstrong on Hollyoaks in 2016 and 2017. He's also known for his roles on Byker Grove, Doctor Who, Cucumber and Banana.
