David shocked by Nick's news in Coronation Street spoiler video
A new Coronation Street spoiler video reveals the moment David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) learns some shocking news from brother Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
It all kicks off when Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) escapes from prison.
Having been incarcerated for the murder of Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), he's desperate to reunite with his family and do a runner.
Sally and Tim Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine) almost scupper the plans when they reveal to his son Brody (Ryan Mulvey) that his little sister Joanie (Savanna Pennington) is heading to Weatherfield High for a taster day.
Having finally made his escape, the school is the first place Mick heads to.
He storms through the corridors and locks Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) and headteacher Orla Crawshaw (Carla Mendonça) in her office, hoping that he would now have free reign to track down his daughter.
Little does he realise, Sally has taken her back to Coronation Street and is taking her on a tour of the factory.
Later in the week, Nick is concerned that his son Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) is keeping something under his hat about the incident. Usually a level headed and chatty young lad, he's suspiciously quiet and refuses to engage.
After a conversation with Hope Dobbs (Isabella Flanagan), it becomes apparent that Sam's life was almost on the line when his cousin Lily Platt (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner) refused to help. More Trending
She shut herself away in a classroom, and refused to allow him in.
Seriously troubled by the incident, Nick heads to the salon to confront David about what happened and his jaw-drops upon realising what his daughter did.
He tries to play the incident down, saying that Lily wouldn't purposely endanger Sam, and promises to talk to her.

Amazon Prime fans beat the heat and binge ‘best sci-fi series in years'
Amazon Prime Video fans have turned to one 'one of the best Sci-Fi shows' in a long time to beat the heat this summer. Ascension, which first aired in 2014 with six 45-minute episodes, has shot up the rankings on the streaming platform in recent weeks. The synopsis on Prime reads: 'In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. 'Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, a mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship's population to question the true nature of their mission.' Despite having just a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Ascension has delighted fans, with more people discovering the show in the years since it aired. 'One of the very best Sci-Fi shows I've seen in years. Every episode changes what you think is going on and reveals another layer,' wrote James Newton in a Google review. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video He added: 'It does veer into fantasy a bit at the end, and possibly religion (but not in the traditional sense) but the bulk of the show is so good, it more than makes up for the ending.' Another user, ömer ünal, compared it to The Truman Show, insisting while there were some 'good sociology ideas', they 'probably wouldn't have worked out that way'. They added: 'Vintage look is awesome. Acting… not good in total, but most series are that way anyway. Should have had a second season. I liked it.' Plenty of fans complained that the show ended without a satisfying ending, with Brian Schmidt warning in his Google review: 'Be careful… don't be like me and not know that they did not finish the series. 'It is a show that grabs your attention, and each episode leaves you wanting the next. The idea and premise of the show is very interesting. Again, be careful if you start, you won't stop until there is no more and you will be wanting more!' User Chris Hanna praised the show as a 'great series', however, but said they were 'very sad' there was only six episodes, given the 'interesting' subplots, adding: 'Great to watch… when you just want to vedge. (sic)' Another fan, with the username Just Me, was furious at being 'left hanging', as they urged someone to give the show new life. 'I think they should bring it back and at least finish out the series. Give us an ending,' they said. 'We need answers. So many shows have just stopped and left us all hanging in mid air.' Sadly, in 2015 SyFy made it clear they would not be making any more new episodes. They said at the time: 'We were very happy with Ascension as an event series, but with so much high profile development in the works, we have decided not to pursue a full series.' More Trending Ascension starred Battlestar Galactica actress Tricia Helfer as power broker Viondra Denninger, and Brian Von Holt as Viondra's husband Captain William Denninger. Gil Bellows played Harris Enzmann, son of Ascension mission founder Abraham Enzmann, while Rescue Me's Andrea Roth appeared as the ship's chief medical officer Dr. Juliet Bryce.

All 6 episodes of 'compelling' mystery thriller are streaming now on Netflix
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Another week, another thriller for fans to dig their teeth into, this time over on Netflix. The French mystery series, Under A Dark Sun, has already entered the top 10 TV shows on the streamer, promising a 'heartfelt' and 'suspenseful' experience for viewers who tune into this six-episode drama. The show follows runaway single mother Alba Mazier (Ava Baya) whose boss, Arnaud Lasserre (Thibault De Montalembert), is killed 'just hours into starting her new job'. Now the main suspect, she becomes intertwined in a conspiracy full of 'deep-rooted secrets and morally grey decisions'. '[When] her name mysteriously appears in his will, how far will she go to force the truth from his family?' the synopsis of the fast-paced miniseries concludes. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. As teased by Time: 'What begins as a murder case quickly spirals into something much more complex: a dark family history full of hidden paternity, forced silence, and decades of manipulation.' The series also stars two-time Oscar nominee Isabelle Adjani as the ill-fated Arnaud's wife, Beatrice. The feel of the show has been compared to the likes of Harlan Coben's mystery thrillers, which have stirred up a storm on the streaming platform with huge viewership for adaptations like Fool Me Once and Missing You. 'There's a lot to like about Under A Dark Sun, like Baya's intensity as Alba and Adjani's insouciant performance as Beatrice, who seems so unfazed by Arnaud's death that she wears a pink suit to his funeral and reads a eulogy she created with ChatGPT. The Devil's Leap on Channel 4: When a former special forces father takes his daughter on a hike, their bonding opportunity soon takes a turn for the worse when they witness a murder – and are soon being pursued by a gang. La Fortuna on ITVX: Stanley Tucci stars in this Spanish-American adventure drama based on an incredible true story about a diplomat 'leading a team of treasure hunters'. The Glass Dome on Netflix: This Swedish drama follows a criminologist who returns to her small hometown and 'becomes wrapped up in the investigation of a missing girl and its haunting similarities to her own childhood abduction'. 'That back and forth between these two very opposite characters should drive the tension in this series,' Decider wrote in a review. The Review Geek pointed out the show's sometimes clunky plotting but added: 'Under a Dark Sun is an easy binge with strong performances, a compelling lead, and just enough intrigue to carry you through.' Over on IMDb, user zeksozen called it a 'tense and intriguing' and said it was 'a hidden gem for those who enjoy European crime dramas with a moody, cinematic style'. Proceed with caution, however, as not all the reviews have been glowing, with some calling it a 'weird' storyline filled with sometimes 'unnecessary twists'. More Trending You'll have to tune in to decide whether it's down your alley. There's a growing market for European thrillers in the UK, with plenty of options if you find yourself hooked after this one. Just last week, Channel 4 added a French survival thriller, The Devil's Leap, which followed a father-daughter duo on a hiking trip gone wrong.

Ben Barnes: I've played psychotic characters for years – now I'm making a change
Before signing on to play virtually the only redeeming adult MGM's new Stephen King adaptation, Ben Barnes was looking to make a change. This wasn't as big a change as his recent foray into the world of music-making. But after a few years playing characters he described as 'untrustworthy/villainous/psychotic', the 43-year-old actor said he wanted to sink his teeth into a role that had a 'moral compass'. Amid some soul-searching over what he was 'putting out into the world', Barnes told Metro: 'I started my career playing boy heroes and then I was stretching my acting limbs, finding the edges of characters and edges of humanity. 'I was really keen to pull it back in and see what it meant to play a character who sees themselves as a good man in the world.' Enter Tim Jamieson of The Institute. Barnes read King's 2019 novel, which the new eight-part show is based on, and was instantly drawn to Tim, who helps to uncover a shady government lab that's performing tortuous experiments on children. Tim works as a 'nightknocker': a small-town job King made up, but which is essentially a nighttime patrolman. Not that Barnes knew that when he spent hours on Google trying to find a nightknocker he could speak to for colour on the role. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'Once I'd been told that it was a made up thing, I realised I had some parameters to play with,' said Barnes. While there was freedom, he did still have to get his head around the 'vaguely archaic' system his nightknocker Tim uses, which involves a lock box and key clock. 'I still don't really understand how that's supposed to work,' he laughed. When reading King's novel, Barnes quickly twigged onto the fact that Tim's job title would suggest 'a lot' of night shoots while filming in Nova Scotia. It can be a draining part of the job when it's night after night, but Barnes also said there's a 'magic' to them, recalling shooting at 'stupid o'clock' in an emptied out British Museum for the BBC drama Gold Digger. 'I've always enjoyed shooting when there's not many people around,' he said. 'I think that's one of the privileges of being an actor. You get to shoot often in spaces which ought to be full of people.' It makes sense that Tim is attracted to working during the wee hours, doing laps of the Maine town DuPray (also fictional). An ex-copper, he's looking for a slower pace of life. Although that goes out the window when he gets wind of what's going on at the nearby government facility (bad things). 'He smells that something is awry,' says Barnes of his character. 'He can't help but investigate and look for ways to make the world a safer place. It's not necessarily always a good thing, especially for him.' Barnes was spared the majority of the chilling scenes fans of King's work can expect from this MGM+ drama, which mostly unfold among the younger actors at the titular Institute. 'I was realising that I was forgetting to breathe as I was reading those in the scripts,' he said. He wasn't entirely unhappy to be spared the 'filmic trauma' of the piece, which he had his fair share of earlier in his career. 'When I was starting out, my characters would be tossed into freezing waterfalls or walking through a fire or being thrown off a cliff,' smiled Barnes. 'I think it was nice to play the character who was slightly more in control of his own destiny and body.' The task instead fell to Joe Freeman, who plays the wonderkid Luke. He's kidnapped by the shady operatives at the Institute in the middle of the night and then tortured in their labs. The pair found a coffee shop in Halifax, where they were shooting, which became their spot to catch up and decompress, since they share precious few scenes with each other. This was the first proper acting gig for Freeman (of Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington parentage). It's clear Barnes is open about discussing his own 'boy hero' start in the industry, as the dashing Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia films. 'For me, it was really exciting because I watched the BBC vaguely-puppet version in 1988 and thought it was magical,' he said. 'Then to be in these big film versions of it was such a defining thing in my life.' The powers that be have deemed enough time has passed since the C S Lewis adaptations for someone else to give the books a go. That someone is Barbie's director Greta Gerwig, who is now remaking the films for Netflix. More Trending Would Barnes ever consider returning to the world within the wardrobe? He noted 'almost quite sadly' that there aren't many roles going in his age bracket. 'I think it was enough time ago that there is another generation for whom it needs to be seen through a new lens. I think she'll do a brilliant job with it. 'And if she wants me to voice a mouse or something, I would do it.' View More » The Institute premieres in the UK on MGM+ on July 13. Got a story?
