to make amends with his biological mother, before subtly asking for a hefty sum. With Carl confirmed as one of five potential murder victims to be revealed this month,

and a string of enemies hoping for his downfall – could his comeuppance be on the horizon?

Tonight’s episode opened with Debbie playing on the swings in the precinct, having recently been released from prison. In The Rovers, Kevin Webster confirmed that his sister had won her appeal that he was giving Debbie space to settle back in.

A frantic Ronnie Bailey entered the pub, asking if anyone had seen his wife, as she had gone shopping hours ago and wasn’t picking up her phone. Fortunately, Debbie was found by Carl who escorted her back to the flat.

At home, Debbie told Carl that she just needed a break as her dementia symptoms were getting worse, but added that she didn’t regret taking the fall for his crime.

“I thought you were dead after the crash. You weren’t moving. It’s the only reason I swapped seats with you,” an apologetic Carl explained. “I’m not trying to excuse it, I’m just telling you what happened.”

Debbie then revealed her fears about being released from prison, sharing that she didn’t want her loved ones to see her condition deteriorate. But Carl assured her that she wouldn’t be a burden as everyone – including him – loves her.

It didn’t take Carl long to exploit the emotional moment and he predictably shifted the conversation to his financial troubles, ‘letting it slip’ that he was £10,000 in debt.

“I don’t want to dump this on you… but, I owe that Fiona money again. And if I don’t come up with it, I’m gonna have to leave,” he said, knowing Debbie was desperate to keep him around.

Though Debbie wasn’t surprised by his latest money grab, she agreed to “sort it” for him. Carl grinned smugly, satisfied that his scheme had worked again, just as Ronnie returned home.

But how long will he get away with his shady actions before they come back to haunt him?

Coronation Street’s Sam Blakeman has been left terrified after a threat from Will Driscoll. Sam was the one who finally exposed evil Megan Walsh for grooming his classmate Will but, since the teacher’s dark secret has been exposed, things haven’t gotten much better for Sam.

Sam had been trying to bring down Megan after suspecting something was going on between her and Will but the teacher threatened him at every turn.

When he finally confessed what he knew to Leanne, Toyah, and Will’s stepmum Eva, the three women believed him and went straight to the police.

But neither the police nor Will’s family have been able to find any real evidence against Megan, especially after she claims to have suffered a miscarriage.

Meanwhile, Sam has become increasingly paranoid and recently threw his phone in the bin, believing Daniel may be secretly working with Megan and tampered with his device.

On Sunday’s episode (5 April) Leanne and Toyah were arguing in the Kabin about Sam’s counselling needs, causing the teen to storm out, embarrassed that they were discussing his issues publicly.

Later, in the Bistro, Will came in and offered Sam an apology. Sam reluctantly shook Will’s hand with Leanne and Toyah encouraging him.

But back at Leanne’s flat, Sam answered the phone and heard Will on the other end. Will told Sam he wasn’t sorry at all and added: “You’ better watch your back because I’m coming for you.”

A shaken Sam then dropped the phone.

Spoilers for upcoming episodes have shown that Sam will approach Will next week and let him know that his intimidation tactics won’t work.

But Will twists things and goes home and tells Eva and his grandma Maggie that Sam has been making up lies about him.

This causes Eva to head over to the Bistro to confront Leanne, and Toyah, causing the first rift between the trio since Megan and Will’s relationship was uncovered.

Will Sam be able to convince everyone of the truth again?
