As David tries to convince Kylie that there's nothing going on between him and Tina, she seems to calm down. However, away from David, she tells Eva that she's changing tack to expose his infidelity. Instead of being confrontational, she is going to search for the evidence she needs. 

Will Kylie stumble across more than she bargained for? And how will Tina react when a fiery Kylie comes storming into The Rovers all guns blazing? Will Tina spill David's secrets?

Meanwhile, it's Steve and Michelle's first day as the new owners of the pub and Michelle is under no illusions - it's no goldmine and running it will be hard graft.

Roy & Hayley take to the ballroom... EXCLUSIVE PICS!

Over on Coronation Street, there are heart-warming scenes ahead for Roy and Hayley Cropper as they head to Blackpool together.

Roy (David Neilson) wants to fulfil one of Hayley's dying wishes by visiting the Tower Ballroom for a spot of dancing, but when they arrive at the iconic venue, they're disappointed to find that it's closed for maintenance.

Although Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) quickly insists that it's no big deal, Roy is devastated that his plans for a perfect trip are going awry.

With time to fill, the couple visit a clairvoyant and although Roy is deeply sceptical over her supposed talents, he and Hayley are both surprised when she advises them to go straight back to the Ballroom

.

Returning to the empty venue, Roy and Hayley are shocked as the owner suddenly appears and bends the rules by inviting them inside. As they have the place to themselves, the moment is extra special as another wish is ticked off Hayley's to-do list.

Roy and Hayley spend the evening together.

Speaking at a Coronation Street press conference today, Blackburn said: "Next week is full of heartache, vengeance, betrayal, cat fights, the return of Liz McDonald and a christening like no other. 

"There are two stories driving the episodes that on first glance look totally different. You have the huge scale of the Platt story set against what is an astonishingly beautiful love story of Roy and Hayley

"I defy anyone to watch it and not come out sobbing. Both stories have two very important things in common - they are both love stories."

Blackburn added: "I am inspired and humbled in equal measure when I watch what is coming up.

"It is not just this week of episodes. I have seen November and December and what is coming up on Christmas day and it keeps on moving."

Coronation Street airs the Platt family bombshells and Roy and Hayley's trip in an hour long special on Wednesday, October 16 at 8pm on ITV.
