Corrie Spoilers 7th - 11th May 2012

[Perdita]

Coronation Street couple Tina McIntyre and Tommy Duckworth will be at the centre of high drama in early May as they find themselves embroiled in Terry's financial problems.

The pair have only just found happiness by confessing their feelings for each other, but Terry's presence on the cobbles looks set to cause misery for them next month.

As fans already know, Terry's (Nigel Pivaro) plans to open a lap-dancing bar are left in tatters in the coming days as Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede) discovers that he bribed a councillor to obtain planning permission.

With no immediate source of income, Terry is in trouble as he owes a sizeable sum of money to loan sharks. As seen in our spoilers for next week, Tommy (Chris Fountain) hands over his inheritance money to help out Terry - but that's not the end of the nightmare.

Magazine reports have revealed that Terry's loan sharks soon return to demand even more cash, and Tina (Michelle Keegan) is horrified when she realises that one of them is Rick Neelan - the man who hounded her father Joe to his death.

Rick will become menacing towards Tina as he makes it clear that he wants Terry's debt to be cleared as soon as possible - and the Rovers barmaid is deeply upset over being confronted by her past.

Terry soon decides that desperate times call for desperate measures, telling Tommy and Tina that they should burn the lap-dancing bar's premises to claim on the insurance money.

Whether Tommy and Tina can ever agree to such a dangerous move isn't yet clear, but it looks like their relationship will be put under severe strain as the drama plays out...

Coronation Street airs these scenes from Monday, May 7 on ITV1.

Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has said that her character Tina McIntyre will be opposed to Terry Duckworth's shock arson plan.

As reported earlier this week, Terry (Nigel Pivaro) considers setting his unfinished bar premises on fire in an insurance scam next month as loan sharks put pressure on him to repay his debts.



To Tina's horror, one of the sharks is Rick Neelan, the man who hounded her father Joe to his death. The barmaid's worry later intensifies when Terry tries to recruit her and Tommy (Chris Fountain) into his reckless plot to fix the situation.

Speaking of the plot for the first time, Keegan told All About Soap: "Tina's a sensible girl, but she knows they have to pay Rick back otherwise they'll never get shot of him. However, she's adamant doing something like burning the club down isn't a good idea, because Tommy could risk going to prison and she doesn't want that.

"He's the only person she's got left in her life who she really loves. She has Rita, but no other family or anything, so Tina's desperate to protect Tommy as well as herself.

"She feels like she's a stronger person because of everything she's been through. She needs to look after Tommy like she looked after her dad - before it's too late."

Coronation Street launches the big week for Tina, Tommy and Terry on Monday, May 7 on ITV1

Over on Coronation Street, a happy day for Eileen Grimshaw and Paul Kershaw is disrupted as the Lesley storyline continues.

With Lesley now settled into the care home, Eileen (Sue Cleaver) and Paul (Tony Hirst) are heading off on holiday together. However, there's a surprise in store for them when they receive a phone call about Lesley.

Paul is shocked to hear that Lesley (Judy Holt) has fled from the care home and turned up at their old house, so he rushes off to fetch her.

Later, back on the cobbles, Lesley is in an emotional state and refuses to get in the car to return to the home. Worried that he and Eileen could miss their flight, Paul tries to push Lesley inside the vehicle - but she falls and hurts her wrist.

With Lesley's damaged wrist needing attention, it's the end of Paul and Eileen's holiday plans. When Paul later removes his wife from the care home as he can't believe they let her wander off, Lesley ends up living at the Grimshaw residence once again…
