7 Coronation Street spoilers for next week
1. Toyah makes a shocking confession
Toyah is full of emotion as Abi Webster (Sally Carman) leaves baby Alfie with her for the first time since Imran's death. With her murder trial on the way, Toyah cries over the little boy's pram as she tells Alfie how sorry she is for taking his daddy away. Later at the flat, sister Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) walks in just as Toyah is mid-confession to Spider!
As Toyah tells Spider that she lied to the police, crashed the car on purpose and intended to kill her husband, Spider and Leanne are left reeling by her shocking words. But what will Spider do after everything he has heard? Could Toyah be heading to prison thanks to her admission of guilt? Read on to find out what happens in court...
2. But will she be found guilty of murder?
Leanne pleads with a nervous Toyah not to say something she'll regret in court, saying she should leave it to her solicitor. The prosecution paints her as a murderer, and Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) and Kelly are both called as witnesses. Imran's mother Saira Habeeb (Kim Vithana) then tells the court that she saw Toyah kissing Spider, and she believes Toyah was having an affair and so killed Imran on purpose.
Leanne defends her sister on the stand, leaving Toyah's guilt at an all-time high. She decides to take the stand after all. But what does she say? As the jury delivers their verdict, will Toyah be found guilty or set free? Whatever happens, we're set to see more of Spider as he meets with DS Swain (Vicky Myers) to discuss his job, intending to stick around. But has he revealed Toyah's secret or not?
3. Kelly and Aadi's wedding plans face more setbacks
Aadi blurts out to dad Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) that he and Kelly will be getting wed at Gretna Green. A shocked Dev unleashes his outrage over Aadi wanting to tie himself to someone like Kelly, and Aadi and Kelly decide to try and win him over and prove their commitment by throwing an engagement party.
Gary advises Dev to show his support or risk losing his son, but what will Dev decide? There's disappointment for Kelly, though, when she overhears Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) claiming that once the part is over, Kelly will get bored with Aadi! Meanwhile, Gary offers to chip in towards the wedding and Kelly is touched as she plans the festivities with her inheritance. But there's still the matter of a timebomb waiting to explode!
4. Will Kelly learn Gary's deadly secret?
When Rick's ex-associate Sharon visits Kelly to congratulate her on her engagement, Gary panics and begs Sharon not to ruin Kelly's life by revealing that he killed her dad. But as Aadi lets slip about Kelly's kidnapping, and Kelly asks Gary to give her away, Sharon is left horrified. Later, Kelly receives a holdall of her late mum Laura Neelan's (Kel Allen) belongings which were left in Spain.
Scrolling through the photos on her mum's camera, she's shocked to spot an image dated the very same day that Rick was killed, meaning her mum was in Spain at the time and couldn't have done the deed! Kelly shows Gary the photos and demands the truth, but will Gary admit everything or continue to lie? One way or another, Kelly is set to find out, as Corrie's producer Iain MacLeod revealed. But what will that mean for Gary?

5. Stu's past causes chaos at Speed Daal
As Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) arranges his birthday do, Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) reminds him that he was once homeless just as Stu was, so some support for Speed Daal's dwindling business wouldn't go amiss!

While Alya is surprised by a love declaration from ex Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott), Zeedan and Stu prepare for the party.

When the man opens the lid of a box, what exactly has he unleashed at the table as the guests look on in horror?
6. Are James's dreams over?
After his recent collapse and diagnosis of a serious heart condition, James was left upset that his football career could be over already. He tells mum Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw) that a life without his beloved sport just doesn't bear thinking about, and he can't wait to return to the pitch. Aggie masks her unease, and the Baileys later welcome James home from the hospital to a pile of get well cards from his fans.
But when his team's manager arrives to talk over James's future, will he get the all-clear to return to work? It's surely far too soon for that, but at the very least, he hopes to be able to continue to follow his dreams after a period of recovery. What does the future hold for James?
7. Glenda is here to stay
As Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) complains to partner George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) about his overbearing sister Glenda, she wonders how long Glenda plans to stay.
