Weatherfield is on the edge of chaos — and no one is safe. As the week unfolds from Monday, August 11 to Friday, August 15, Coronation Street delivers one of its most dramatic and emotionally explosive runs yet. From a daring proposal that could change Carla Connor’s life forever, to a heartbreaking arrest and a missing child whose fate remains uncertain, this week’s stories will shake the cobbles to their very core.

Carla’s Leap of Faith — But Will Love Conquer All?

After months of growing closeness and vulnerability, Carla Connor finally makes a life-altering decision — she’s ready to propose to Lisa Swain. But things don’t go smoothly for Weatherfield’s power player. A simple factory mishap, caused by young Betsy Swain, threatens to derail the mood when Carla’s latest line of vests gets printed with the wrong logo. The mistake should have been a disaster. Instead, it becomes the turning point.

Determined not to let a misstep define her day, Carla confides in Ryan Connor about the engagement ring she’s waiting for. But this is no ordinary proposal — it’s a carefully orchestrated moment of hope. With the help of Glenda Shuttleworth, the sparkling symbol of commitment is slipped into Lisa’s champagne glass during what Carla hopes will be a perfect night at The Rovers.

But perfect rarely lasts long on the Street. As champagne flows and eyes glance with anticipation, viewers are left holding their breath — will Lisa say yes? Or is Carla about to suffer the most public heartbreak of her life?

Aadi’s World Collapses — Can He Escape the Law?

Meanwhile, Aadi Alahan’s world begins to crumble. In the aftermath of a drug-fuelled party that left Lauren Bolton hospitalised, the young man finds himself dragged into a police investigation that could ruin his life — and his future.

After a moment of reckless passion with Amy Barlow, the police come knocking. PC Jess Haywood brings Aadi in for questioning, forcing him to reveal that Brody Michaelis was the one responsible for introducing drugs into the party. But with the authorities circling and public judgment closing in, Aadi’s future in Weatherfield is hanging by a thread.

Is this the beginning of the end for Aadi? And could this scandalous spiral spell his departure from the Street altogether?

A Child Goes Missing — And Panic Takes Over

While adult lives are spinning out of control, a far more chilling crisis emerges — Dorin Pop, the child entrusted to Steve McDonald, vanishes.

What begins as a simple babysitting moment turns into a nightmare when Steve dozes off… and wakes to find Dorin gone. Chaos ignites. Panic spreads. And worst of all — there’s a terrifying fear that the young boy may have climbed into an old fridge, hidden and forgotten.

With every second that passes, the risk of tragedy increases. Residents band together in a desperate search. But will they find Dorin in time — or is Coronation Street about to suffer a devastating loss?

Affair Exposed? Abi’s Secret on the Brink

Elsewhere, Abi Webster is spiraling. A seemingly innocent photo snapped by Hope Dobbs could blow apart her fragile life — and her clandestine affair with Carl.

Terrified the incriminating image could be posted online, Abi calls Carl in for a tense mission: retrieve Hope’s phone before it’s too late. But every move she makes risks exposure, and in a world where secrets never stay buried, Abi may be moments away from a complete collapse.

Rage, Religion, and Revenge — Gary Faces Theo’s Fury

As Weatherfield buckles under emotional weight, Gary Windass is caught in the middle of a storm he didn’t see coming. Theo Silverton, blinded by rage after a cruel religious flyer outed his family, smashes up the builder’s yard in a fit of destruction. When Gary steps in, Theo begs him to stay out — but Gary’s protective instincts send him straight to confront Noah Hedley.

What Gary doesn’t know is that Maria is already tracking his every move. And what she walks into could change their relationship — and their trust — forever.

A Wedding with a Song — or a Misstep in the Making?

In a rare moment of tenderness, Ronnie Bailey unveils a heartwarming gesture — he wants a dementia choir to perform at his upcoming wedding to Debbie Webster. But while the sentiment is pure, Debbie’s reaction remains uncertain. Will this touching idea unite them even more… or highlight the heartbreaking reality of her condition?

George’s Awkward Romance — Ruined by His Sister?

Finally, romance takes a comedic turn when George Shuttleworth’s date is interrupted by his own sister. Glenda instantly recognises George’s date, Samantha, from primary school — and as the two women laugh and reconnect, George is left awkwardly third-wheeling his own romantic evening.

Is love already dead in the water — or is there still hope beneath the embarrassment?

Brace Yourself, Coronation Street Fans…

This week delivers a masterclass in soap storytelling — with romance, loss, betrayal, and jaw-dropping twists at every corner. Carla’s heart hangs in the balance, a child’s life is at stake, and the very foundation of trust in relationships may be obliterated. One thing’s for sure: no one will come out of this week unchanged.
