Viewers will see Maria left delighted when Aidan invites her to spend the night with him at a hotel after she's released from prison. However, he ruins the moment by admitting that it'll only be an affair as he doesn't want to leave his current girlfriend Eva Price.

A heartbroken Maria rejects Aidan's offer, but when she changes her mind and follows him to the hotel, she ends up feeling even worse as she finds him drinking champagne in the bar with Eva instead.

Fed up with Aidan's poor treatment of her, Maria seizes an opportunity to move on with her life when Adam (Sam Robertson) approaches her and invites her out for a drink.

The pair spend the night together at Maria's flat and her friends are all very excited about the new romance, encouraging her to go out with Adam again.

However, when a jealous Aidan decides to sabotage their happiness, could this new Weatherfield romance prove short-lived?

Coronation Street's Roy Cropper hears some much-needed home truths next week as he continues to string along his fiancée Cathy Matthews.

Roy (David Neilson) is currently engaged to marry Cathy, but it's becoming increasingly clear to viewers and some of his friends that he may not actually love her.

There's another difficult few days ahead for Roy and Cathy (Melanie Hill) next week when Nessa Warner makes an unwelcome return to the cobbles, creating a very awkward atmosphere at the cafe.

Cathy recently discovered that her nephew Alex was the product of an affair between her sister and her late husband Alan, which sent her into a spin.

Although Cathy spends a few days keeping quiet about the situation following Nessa's return, she can't hold her tongue for long and finally unleashes her fury after hearing Nessa boast about how she's a magnet for men.

After kicking Nessa out in a rage, a distraught Cathy tells Roy that she's sure to fail him as a wife just like she did with Alan, so they'd be better off cancelling the wedding.

Much to Cathy's surprise, Roy doesn't really argue with the suggestion as he sees it as his only chance to escape a situation that he really isn't comfortable with.

In fact, Roy even quickly cancels the church, flowers and reception before spreading the 'bad news' around the Street – fast work!

Sadly for Roy, he isn't out of the woods just yet and he ends up suffering a panic attack when Cathy admits that she was only seeking reassurance from him when she tried to cancel their nuptials.

With the wedding suddenly back on again, Roy finally admits to Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) that he doesn't want to get married but won't break his promise to Cathy.

Tyrone and Brian desperately try to make Roy see that marrying Cathy for the wrong reasons would be a terrible mistake, but will he listen to them?
