Weatherfield is set for another explosive week of drama, with emotional turmoil, relationship breakdowns, and a long-awaited physical confrontation hitting the cobbles. Our spoiler guide breaks down all the pivotal moments coming to Coronation Street from Monday, November 17 to Friday, November 21, 2025.
Funeral Fallout and a Partnership in Peril
The week begins with high tension for Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley). The manipulative Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) successfully orchestrates a situation where Todd arrives late and dishevelled for a crucial funeral. This professional failure forces George to make a drastic decision.
He turns to Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins), who steps in seamlessly to ensure the funeral preparations are flawless. Furious with Todd's unreliability, George confronts him upon his belated arrival. In a devastating blow, George informs Todd that he is being stepped down, declaring him 'not fit for purpose'.
George then officially asks Christina to take Todd's place for the funeral service, leaving a humiliated and angry Todd alone on the street. This incident, masterminded by Theo, threatens to fracture Todd and George's business partnership and friendship permanently.
A Family's Heartbreaking Baby News
Meanwhile, David (Jack P Shepherd) and Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) are struggling to cope with the devastating diagnosis concerning their unborn baby. The couple are dealing with the grim reality in starkly different ways; Shona is trying to maintain a positive outlook, while David is completely overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation.
Their trauma is brought into sharp focus when family members Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor), and Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) present them with a sweet gift to celebrate the pregnancy. The joyful moment shatters when a rattled David reveals the baby's serious illness and the horrifying possibility that she may not survive.
This revelation leaves the entire family reeling and raises the critical question of whether David and Shona can find a way to support each other through the immense challenge ahead.
Tensions Boil Over at the Rovers Return
Down at the Rovers Return, Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) is weighed down by the guilt and fallout from her recent affair. She confides in Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) about the state of her life, but unfortunately, the conversation is within earshot of Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Never one to miss an opportunity, Tracy unleashes her signature blend of acid and vitriol on a vulnerable Abi. After enduring weeks of blackmail and snide comments, Abi finally reaches her breaking point. In a moment of cathartic release, she punches Tracy, giving her a bruised jaw.
The timing, however, could not be worse. Her ex-husband, Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), walks in just as the punch is thrown. This explosive act of violence threatens to cause even more trouble for Abi as she and Kevin navigate their difficult divorce.
With a partnership on the rocks, a family in crisis, and a pub brawl that will have consequences, it's another unmissable week on Britain's most famous street.
