Coronation Street killer Rob Donovan will come face-to-face with the consequences of his ongoing deception as he is forced to comfort a devastated Simon Barlow.
Marc Baylis and Alex Bain, who play Rob and Simon, have been spotted filming the emotional scenes on location this week.
While exact storyline details won't be known until nearer the time, paparazzi photos show that Simon pays a visit to Tina McIntyre's grave in an upcoming episode.
Simon grew close to Tina in the months leading up to her murder, and it's clear that he still misses the Rovers Return's popular barmaid.
Rob tries to reassure Simon as he breaks down in tears at the cemetery, but the youngster's troubles are no doubt a terrible reminder of what he did to Tina - as well as the fact that Simon doesn't have his father Peter around to support him.

Simon is oblivious to Rob's guilt
Rob's current storyline has seen him desperately try to cover up the fact that he was responsible for Tina's tragic death. He has so far managed to escape detection by pinning the blame on Peter, who is awaiting trial for the crime.
The trial will take place in October - the same month that Rob is due to marry Peter's sister Tracy.
