Coronation Street’s Faye Windass and Craig Tinker are set to face the ultimate test of their relationship on the ITV soap, as Faye confesses to her involvement in Ted’s death next week.
After Faye (Ellie Leach) and Emma Brooker (Alexandra Mardell) ran over the pensioner, the two characters have kept the car accident under wraps.
Emma’s conscience got the better of her and she phoned the police anonymously, saying she was anxious about her neighbour, Ted.
The police, including Craig (Colson Smth), then discovered Ted’s body in his flat.
A terrified Faye has watched as her policeman boyfriend edged closer to the truth after he started using Ted’s crutches following a running injury.
Faye has agonised over her part in the accident, fearful that if she is discovered she’ll be sent straight back to prison.
ITV spoilers now reveal that the secret between the couple will finally come out in upcoming scenes.
The story continues in scenes airing January 24, when Craig receives word back from the fingerprint expert and has to rush to the station - leaving Emma worried sick.
But when Craig returns home he admits he should not have sent the crutch in for fingerprint analysis as he’s in trouble with his superiors for wasting police resources.
Later in the week, Emma tells Faye that Ted’s funeral is to be held the following day, which Faye says must be a good sign, as it means the police have released the body.
But this good news crumbles when Craig returns home from work and reveals that Ted’s post mortem suggests he was run over, and that this might have triggered the blood clot that killed him, leaving Faye and Emma mortified.
The tense situation reaches an explosive conclusion in scenes airing on January 28, as Emma suggests to Faye that they attend Ted’s funeral.
When Craig reveals that the police have put together an e-fit of the girl the postman saw at Ted’s flat, he remarks it looks like Emma.
This is enough to push Faye over the edge and she confesses the whole story surrounding Ted’s death to her boyfriend.
How will Craig react? Will he turn Faye in?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, January 24, Wednesday January 26 and Friday, January 28 on ITV.
