17 Huge Coronation Street Spoilers for Next Week (29 December – 2 January): Weddings, Secrets and Danger Explode on the Cobbles

As Coronation Street hurtles toward the end of the year and barrels straight into a turbulent new one, Weatherfield braces itself for a week packed with emotional revelations,

fractured relationships, and storylines that promise to leave viewers breathless. From Debbie and Ronnie’s long-awaited wedding teetering on the brink of disaster,

to a harrowing abuse storyline finally coming into the light, and a chilling escape plot closing in on its victims, the Cobbles are anything but calm.

Here’s a dramatic, in-depth look at the 17 major spoilers set to dominate Coronation Street from 29 December to 2 January.

1. Carl confides in Ronnie — and raises troubling questions
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Carl opens up to Ronnie as they visit his mother’s body to say a final goodbye. Carl reveals that his mother never showed him affection, a wound that has shaped his inability to love as an adult. While the moment appears sincere, it leaves Ronnie deeply unsettled — particularly when he starts questioning whether Carl truly loves Abby at all. Unaware of this conversation, Abby senses something is wrong and breaks down with Tracy, fearing her relationship is slipping away. Carl’s tragic backstory may explain his behavior, but it also feels like emotional manipulation at its most dangerous.

2. Ryan grows suspicious of Carl’s finances
A seemingly routine phone call at the hotel quickly turns ominous when Ryan discovers Carl has changed all the account passwords. Alarm bells ring as Ryan realizes he’s been shut out entirely. In Weatherfield, secret password changes rarely mean anything good, and Ryan could be on the verge of uncovering Carl’s financial scheme — a revelation that could bring everything crashing down.

3. Debbie makes an emotional wedding wish
Ahead of her big day, Debbie is touched when Sally surprises her with a pre-wedding pamper party hosted by Glenda, Bernie, and Christina. Amid the laughter and prosecco, Debbie makes one heartfelt wish: that her feuding brothers, Kevin and Carl, put their differences aside for just one day. Sally takes it upon herself to speak to Kevin, unknowingly setting the stage for a confrontation that could explode at the worst possible moment.

4. Debbie and Ronnie’s wedding day arrives — with tension in the air
Disaster threatens even before the ceremony begins when Debbie breaks her glasses and fears it’s a bad omen. Bernie rushes to save the day, but the real danger lies in the simmering hostility between Kevin and Carl. Debbie senses it immediately and orders them to behave. Her performance with the dementia choir is deeply moving, yet the tension never lifts. With emotions running high, the wedding risks being overshadowed by family conflict.

5. Abby discovers a bag of cash — then it vanishes
Abby’s suspicions explode when she finds a bag stuffed with cash in the boot of Carl’s car. But when she later checks again, it’s gone. Convinced Carl is planning to run, Abby confides in Kevin, sending him into a fury. As Kevin prepares to give his wedding speech, it’s clear he’s on the edge — and whatever he says could detonate the entire celebration.

6. Theo abandons Todd in a shocking act of cruelty
At George and Glenda’s joint party, Theo’s jealousy flares when Sarah mentions Nick was Todd’s first crush. Pretending to help with cake duties, Theo ushers Todd out — only to unleash his rage, accuse Todd of flirting, and then drive off, leaving him stranded. It’s a chilling display of control and isolation, exposing just how dangerous Theo has become.

7. Billy fears Todd is in serious danger
Deeply worried, Billy speaks to Alya about Yasmeen’s abuse, desperate to recognize the warning signs. Later, Todd joins family for New Year’s Eve, anxiously awaiting Theo’s arrival. The tension is unbearable, and Billy’s instincts tell him something is terribly wrong.

8. Theo turns violent again
After Billy and Summer visit Todd, Theo grows suspicious that Billy knows the truth. Once they leave, Theo lashes out violently. The abuse escalates, leaving Todd increasingly trapped and terrified — a heartbreaking transformation for a character once so confident and sharp.

9. Todd attempts a desperate escape
Shaken by his own actions, Theo blames Todd for provoking him — a classic abuser tactic. When Theo is briefly distracted, Todd seizes the chance to flee. But a manipulative message from Theo insisting he “can’t live without him” threatens to pull Todd back into danger.

10. Billy discovers the horrifying truth
At the wedding, Todd spills orange juice on himself and is ordered to clean up. Billy follows him — and is devastated to see the bruises covering Todd’s body. Even worse, Todd insists he’s partly to blame. Billy finally has proof, but saving Todd will require patience, care, and courage.

11. Kit edges closer to finding Carla
With Carla still missing, Kit steps up. After learning she hasn’t responded to emails, he examines her diary and questions ambulance staff about Costello’s final words. A cryptic three-word phrase turns out to be a vital location clue. While everyone else is distracted, Kit is quietly closing in on the truth.

12. Becky plots her escape with chilling precision
Kit visits Costello’s flat and discovers it empty, but Costello stays silent. Once Kit leaves, Becky emerges from the end suite — revealing just how close she’s been hiding. Lisa agrees to move to Spain with Becky, but only after speaking to Carla. Frustrated, Becky accelerates her plan, proving just how dangerous she really is.

13. Becky isolates Lisa further
Lisa entrusts Sarah with Carla’s engagement ring, asking her to return it when Carla comes home. Becky then convinces Lisa to throw away their old phones “for safety,” promising replacements before they flee. It’s a chilling step toward total isolation — cutting Lisa off from the truth.

14. Maggie attempts damage control
After Christmas chaos, Will urges Ben to forgive Maggie. Maggie admits she was wrong to lash out at Eva, but Ben remains suspicious. Is this remorse genuine — or simply another calculated move?

15. Shona suffers a worrying health scare
While packing away Christmas decorations, Shona experiences sharp pain and struggles to breathe. David insists on medical help, raising fears for both Shona and the baby. After a year of turmoil, the Platts face yet another emotional ordeal.

16. Tyrone faces his fears with Evelyn’s help
Tyrone admits to Evelyn he’s considering skipping physio, terrified of walking again. Evelyn doesn’t let him hide, encouraging him to face his fear. Later, she babysits so Tyrone and Fiz can enjoy New Year’s Eve at the Rovers — where Tyrone receives a rousing cheer as he enters on crutches, offering a rare moment of warmth and hope.

17. Tracy lashes out at Cassie
Asha reveals to Amy she’s stopped taking her antidepressants, raising concern. When Amy shares this with Cassie, Tracy misreads the situation and accuses Cassie of getting too close to Amy. As ever, Tracy’s sharp tongue fuels fresh conflict.

With weddings under threat, abuse finally exposed, and escape plots tightening their grip, Coronation Street is set to deliver an explosive and emotionally charged start to the year. Weatherfield has rarely felt so dangerous — or so compelling.
