Bernie's life on the line in Corrie hostage horror - and things get worse
Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) is about to put multiple lives in danger in Coronation Street, and one of them is Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove).
Mick has been established as a character not to be messed with. He hasn't been in Weatherfield for very long, but has made enemies with multiple residents including Gary Windass (Mikey North), Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley).
It's Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) who faces Mick next week, as he lets slip that Lou (Farrel Hegarty) isn't as loyal as he likes to think.
With Mick growing paranoid, he confronts Lou and later, Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) realises that her friend has vanished into thin air.
Lou tries to call Mick and get him to come home, but by this point he is consumed with rage.
He speeds away in his van and later decides to take matters into his own hands, convincing himself that Kit is the person to blame for this nightmarish situation.
While this is happening, Craig (Colson Smith) has arrived at work to shadow Kit as part of his CID placement. With Kit distracted though, Craig is left believing his colleague doesn't really rate his work.
Lisa (Vicky Myers) urges Craig to prove Kit wrong just as he is called to investigate a disturbance. Spotting his chance, Craig heads off, but it appears that fate has other plans for him, as Asha (Tanisha Gorey) is forced to assist when he gets attacked.

EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick suspended by BBC after using disabled slur on Strictly set
EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has been suspended by the BBC after using a slur against people with disabilities on the set of Strictly Come Dancing. Borthwick is said to have made the offensive remark on a phone video while the Strictly cast were at Blackpool Tower Ballroom last November. A video emerged of the actor, who plays Jay Brown on the soap, using the term to describe the people of Blackpool, the town where the show was being filmed, and was first reported in The Sun on Sunday. A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC. 'We have robust processes in place for this.' Warren Kirwan, media manager at disability equality charity Scope, said: 'Attitudes and language like this are never acceptable. 'It's not just ignorant and hurtful to disabled people, it has wider consequences. 'Negative attitudes hold disabled people back in all areas of life, from getting a job to shopping on the high street. 'Mr Borthwick needs to reflect on what he said, educate himself and do better. 'We hope he takes the opportunity to get to know the reality of disabled people's lives.' Borthwick won the Strictly 2023 Christmas special with Nancy Xu, and won the best actor gong at the Inside Soap Awards in September that year. His suspension comes after Wynne Evans last week said he had been dropped by the BBC, following an apology which said he used 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. The Welsh opera singer, 53, known for the "Go Compare" insurance advertisements, will no longer be a BBC Radio Wales presenter, he announced on May 30. Earlier this year, he apologised for language that he called 'inappropriate and unacceptable' after The Mail On Sunday reported that Evans was heard making a remark to a woman in a video filmed during the Strictly launch event. It is understood he was given a warning over the remark by tour producers. In January, he said: 'I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. 'I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. 'Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.' The singer, who performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and also won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef, told The Sun on Sunday earlier this month that the Strictly comment was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast but was a nickname for fellow contestant Borthwick. He told the paper: 'I didn't see the statement - 'Old Spit-roast Boy' was a nickname for Jamie Borthwick. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not any of these things. 'When I read the apology within the context of the story as it had been written, I was absolutely horrified.' The Strictly tour saw contestants of the most recent series return to the dancefloor and tour the country alongside Strictly judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse.
