In a case of unfortunate timing, Maria's husband Gary Windass is already at the police station, as he's on a new mission to help his ex-partner Sarah Barlow.

This week's episodes see Sarah hauled in for questioning by DS Swain, who believes that Nathan Curtis was bribed to keep quiet about the culprit behind his recent attack.

As Gary wants to get Sarah out of trouble, he provides his bank statements to DS Swain.

When Gary emerges from the police interview room, Maria is baffled and wants to know what he's doing there. Will Gary come clean about his latest secrecy with Sarah? And will Maria get the reassurances she needs over Liam's safety?

Mason was put on trial in April after being charged for threatening Liam with a knife.

The nasty encounter was just one incident in a long-running bullying campaign, which saw Mason and Dylan Wilson repeatedly target Liam.

Mason was found guilty after Dylan testified in support of Liam. As this was Mason's second knife crime offence, the judge took a dim view of his actions and imposed a custodial sentence.

Coronation Street airs these scenes in the week commencing Monday, July 8.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
