Recently, Carla Connor and Lisa Swain have been looking after Carla’s baby niece Connie. Connie is the daughter of criminal Rob Donovan and prison guard Mandy Waring.
However, in forthcoming scenes, Carla receives a call from the social worker and her expression drops. Later, Carla and Lisa gather Connie’s belongings and inform Betsy that the social worker has made contact and Connie will be going back to her grandmother’s house.
This isn’t the sole departure teased as Carl Webster, who has brought nothing but turmoil during his stint on the cobbles, attempts to blackmail biological mother Debbie Webster into handing over the hotel to him.
However, after Debbie’s husband Ronnie Bailey gets wind of Carl’s plans and begs her not to give into his demands, Debbie tells her son he’s not having the hotel but she’ll give him some cash and she never wants to see him again. Later in the week, Debbie hands him an envelope full of cash and makes it clear she never wants to see him again. Is this the last of Carl?
Elsewhere, another potential departure is Jodie Ramsey. Having made her first appearance during the Corriedale crossover earlier this year, Jodie has brought nothing but turmoil and intrigue to Weatherfield.
As her past catches up with her next week, Jodie’s frantic sister Shona insists she must flee immediately for her own wellbeing. Will Jodie depart and will her tangled web of deceit unravel?
Also next week, following months of harrowing abuse from husband Theo Silverton, Todd Grimshaw, who courageously reported Theo to the police on Wednesday, is planning to leave Weatherfield to visit his mum Eileen and brother Jason in Thailand. Will he manage to get away, or does Theo have other ideas?
