Coronation Street confirms tragedy as major character exits in 29 pictures

Emotions are aplenty in Coronation Street next week, as seen in our new spoiler pictures, as a much-loved character dies.

Julie Carp’s (Katy Cavanagh) final scenes loom, with the fan-favourite recording a video message of herself as she talks about the importance of love.

Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver), meanwhile, spends the day with her sister at the lake. Emotional scenes ensue as Julie and Eileen take in the view, enjoying every moment together.

Heartbreak follows, with Eileen heading to get refreshments. Upon her return, she finds Julie lying down on her back with her eyes closed.

Elsewhere in the Street, the saga of who is blackmailing Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) continues. As the week begins, Lauren is optimistic as she has received no further texts.

The character sets about getting a job but her happiness is short-lived as she subsequently gets another text – with the blackmailer demanding £200.

Will Lauren be forced to pay up? And either way, will she work out who is tormenting her?

There’s another mystery set to unfold on the eponymous Street as DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) informs Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) that they’ve taken in Mick on suspicion of an assault.

Kit is uneasy after being tasked with conducting the interview. Mick’s amused at Kit’s nervousness but just what is going on?

That remains to be seen but it’s safe to say it’s going to be another unmissable week on the Street!

Coronation Street airs these scenes between Monday, May 5 and Friday, May 9 at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
