This dramatic cliffhanger puts Yasmeen in serious danger, but RadioTimes.com can reveal what happens next, and that events are about take an unguessable twist.
The action picks up on Monday 6th April when Yasmeen thankfully manages to get out of the house and finds Alya, who is relived when her gran tells her she has seen the light and left Geoff. However, her sense of freedom is short-lived when she starts receiving unnerving messages on her phone from her troubled hubby that suggest he may be considering taking his own life…
Yasmeen dashes back home, hoping she's not too late, and Geoff is nowhere to be seen - but there are worrying signs all is not well as the lounge is trashed, a photo frame smashed and suspicious drops of blood are on the furniture.
Has Geoff really ended it all? What does this mean for Yasmeen's future? Later next week she meets with the police, who reveal some disturbing secretes about her other half's criminal past. But is this after the riddle of his disappearance has been solved?
The Metcalfes' marriage has been one of Corrie's most talked-about storylines of 2020, as Geoff's subtle control of his spouse has ramped up slowly but surely.
