Karl manages to track down Craig: Sept 08 19:30

Karl is spooked to see that Craig is ringing him and slips out to take the call, finding out where Craig is. With Beth beside herself with worry, Karl sets out and finds Craig living rough.

Craig tells Karl that he's going to hand himself into the police. Can Karl convince a tormented Craig to return to the street and keep schtum, or does he face killing again to keep his secret uncovered?

Meanwhile, Hayley enjoys a visit from the factory girls, determined to stay upbeat and insisting that she will be around to see Carla's wedding. Trying to remain positive, she tells Roy that there are so many things she wants to do with life and she's thinking of constructing a bucket list. 


Elsewhere, both Kylie and Max are delighted when David suggests that he should adopt Max. However, as David brims with mixed emotions - so desperate to cement his family together - his guilt overwhelms him and he goes to visit Nick at the hospital.




Craig's dissapearance shocks the street

Karl is panic-stricken when the police come calling about Craig's disappearance. Wondering how much they know, Karl tries to remain cool and plays down his links to Craig, but inside he's feeling increasingly cornered. 

At the same time, Dev and Jason are trying to work out the meaning of Craig's note, speculating about the connection between him and Karl. As a desperate Karl tries to focus on his wedding, will they hit upon the answer?

Meanwhile, the factory girls visit Hayley in hospital and are just the tonic she needs. Roy, however, is struggling to come to terms with the sucker-punch to his life and can't bring himself to open up the café.

Elsewhere, David and Kylie are making a fuss of Max for his birthday, but when they start discussing Lily's christening, he goes into a mood again. Will a birthday tea cheer him up or does David have another idea?

Also, Audrey looks forward to getting her house back to normal.

Corrie stars David Neilson and Julie Hesmondalgh filming romantic blackpool scenes

Coronation Street stars David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh have been spotted filming special scenes for the soap in Blackpool.

The pair's characters Roy and Hayley Cropper will feature in a touching storyline over the next few months as they vow to enjoy every moment of the time they have left together


Upcoming episodes will see Roy take his terminally-ill wife to the seaside town, where they make a plan to see all of the sights and dance in the Tower Ballroom.


As seen in our pictures which were taken on location today (September 3), the much-loved couple are in high spirits on the trip.

Hesmondhalgh announced ber decision to leave Coronation Street at the beginning of the year and show bosses later confirmed that Hayley would be diognosed with pancreatic cancer. 

Emotional scenes in last night's double bill (September 2) saw Hayley learn her illness is incurable, meaning that she only has a few months left to live.

Speaking of the storyline last month, Hesmondhalgh commented: "It's a very unknown cancer and gets so little funding, and so little awareness around it, but it affects so many people. I feel really, really honoured to be part of this now. I'm hoping to really change things for the better there.

"If more people know about it and we can get a bit of a campaign going, I want this to be Hayley's legacy - to get more funding for pancreatic cancer."

Coronation Street's Blackpool scenes are expected to air in October.

Chelsee Healey: "I'd love to join Coronation Street!"

Chelsee Healey has revealed that she would love to join Coronation Street.

The former Waterloo Road star said that a role on the long-running ITV soap would be "amazing".

   
                                    

She told Manchester Evening News: "I'd love to do another long-running drama or soap, Coronation Street would be amazing. I'd love to play a cheeky, funny girl on Corrie."

The 25-year-old - who left Waterloo Road earlier this year after eight years playing Janeece Bryant - said that she would "never say never" to returning to the series.

However, she said that she thinks it was the "right time" for her to leave the school-based drama. 

"The show was moving up to Scotland, and it's a role I'd done for a long time - eight years is a long time for anyone to stay in the same job. I don't think they could do that much more with the character.

"If Waterloo Road asked me back, of course I'd have to consider that, but for now I'm looking into sinking my teeth into new roles and new challenges," she added.

Waterloo Road launches its new series on Thursday, September 5 at 8pm on BBC One.
