Earlier this week, fans saw Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and
Summer
Spellman (Harriet Bibby) in the aftermath of a distressing experience.
In tears and visibly shaken up, the distraught pair made their way to Roy's Rolls.
Both women agreed they couldn't go back to what had happened off-screen, as Nina cried: "We 100% cannot go back."
Taking to X, some fans believed the mysterious incident somehow involved Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) - and predicted a grim fate.

One wrote: "Definitely more to come! But it could be to do with Amy."
Another agreed: "I think something happened with Amy because she's not mentioned in spoilers for the rest of the week. Poor Amy!"
While a third remarked: "Oh yeah! Maybe they left for dead?"
Amy first appeared in Corrie on February 9, 2004 - the episode where she was born.

The star joked she's got her sights set on beating soap legend
Discussing her on-screen grandfather, Elle said: "Bill, we have spent 15 years together. They are more than colleagues, they do become a part of your family.
"It's quite
the challenge
to beat. I am young enough to do it, I guess. It must be incredible for someone to be here 65 years.
"All the stories he must have done and all the people he must have met.
"Who knows what the
future
will bring? But right now I am loving Corrie more than ever and have no plans to leave, so long as they still want me."
History of the Coronation Street set
By Jake Penkethman, TV Reporter
1960-1968
- Whilst the Coronation Street set remained on Quay Street for 53 years, it actually had three separate studio sites. The first was an entirely indoor wooden set which was used for the first eight years of filming. This encompassed a replica of the Street built entirely indoors. The set was known to be awkward for actors to use and the houses brought to three quarter scale.
1968-1982
- In 1968, the addition of an outdoor set was created to adjoin the existing indoor set which was still used for filming right up until 1982. The set was used only when required with many of the show's cast reportedly hating it and describing it as 'the coldest place on Earth'.
1982-2013
- A brand new set was officially constructed in 1982 and was almost built fully to scale but still only permitted for one car to drive down the cobbled street. The house were purpose-built using reclaimed Salford brick in order to give it the most authentic feel possible. During these years, some of the show's buildings were adapted to allow for both interior and exterior filming at the same time. These locations included Elliott's Butchers, Barlow's Buys, Prima Doner and Webster's Autos. The final scenes to be recorded on this site occurred in December 2013. By early 2014, it began operating as a tourist attraction for around two years before ultimately being demolished and re-purposed in 2017.
2014-present
- In early 2014, the show's set moved to the TV hub of the North - MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays. It is now located a stone's throw from major TV studio Dock 10 as well as the BBC's base in the North - home to Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Breakfast and BBC Sport. The new set was even bigger and built to 9/10 the scale of a real street and allowed for two card to be travelling down the road at opposite sides for the very first time. The site has even undergone major expansions during its 10 years. Just four years after opening in 2018, a brand new set extension was unveiled which introduced viewers to Victoria Gardens for the first time in its history. The Weatherfield North tram stop also became visible as did a series of shops which became used as part of product placement advertising deals. Brands to have been seen on the Street so far include a Co-Op, a Costa Coffee and a branch of Hay's Travel. Four years later in 2022, another brand new set was unveiled, this time being the heavily mentioned Weatherfield Precinct. It became the first time in 62 years that the area had ever been seen on screens. It fearued a variety of shop fronts, a playground and a number of small flats which have begun to house more and more residents on the street in recent months.
She added: "I still can't believe I have been there for 15 years. It's hard to describe because in one way it feels that long but in another way it doesn't.
"I joined when I was just seven and I'm now 22. I was just a young kid. I am so fortunate though.
"I still love Corrie, where I work and everyone I work with. I am just really lucky."
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
