A shocked Sally then breaks the news to Tim, who offers to run the bride and groom to the airport, making out that he now accepts their marriage plans. But Tim ends up luring Elaine into his taxi and leaving Stephen on the doorstep before speeding off – his mum now a hostage in the car.

Sally and Stephen are both left flabbergasted, but will Tim be successful in halting the wedding?

Max to be released?

Not much has been heard about Max since he received his six-month custodial sentence following the Speed Daal attack. But David is set to reveal to Gail on Friday that Max is being considered for early release.

However, when David subsequently visits the incarcerated teen at the STC, he advises him not to get his hopes up.

Paul gets increasingly desperate

Panicky Paul persuades Niall to give him another job. And when Billy later tries to make plans with his partner, Paul lies and says he’s already heading out with Dee-Dee.

Dee-Dee is then forced to cover when Billy questions her about the situation. But feeling suspicious, she secretly follows Paul to Frescho’s car park, where she finds him about to steal a car. And despite her threats to call the police, Paul remains adamant that he needs the cash and roars off in the pilfered vehicle.

Later, Paul corners Damon in the Bistro and demands £25,000 as a cash sum otherwise he’ll grass him up. But Damon covertly double-crosses Paul by calling his criminal contacts, who he urges to shut down Paul’s attempt at blackmail. Might Paul be in big danger?

Amy’s panic attack – plus Aaron’s big decision

There’s a setback for Amy when she boards a bus into town to meet a friend from uni, only to then experience a panic attack when a guy sits next to her.

Eric, meanwhile, will be seen breaking the news to Aaron that his nan has died. But when Eric then waves the keys to his new flat and suggests Aaron move back in with him, what decision will he end up making?

Sarah is left squirming

Wednesday’s drama sees Sarah taking Adam for a birthday lunch at the Bistro. But while there, Adam tells Nick that there may be a problem with the late licence as some locals have raised objections.

Damon then joins Adam and Sarah at their table, a move that leaves her feeling decidedly uncomfortable. But her anxiety mounts further when Maria turns up and breaks the news that Sarah was one of those who made a complaint about the late licence proposal. How will Sarah get herself out of this one?

George’s sticky situation

In the Rovers, Brian will be seen confessing that he too enjoys building model boats as he offers to help George with his.

Later on, at No 11, Eileen finds George and Brian working on their boats together, only to then be left furious when she discovers that they’ve accidentally glued her favourite mug to the table. But it seems that there’s no stopping the two guys, what with Brian then suggesting that he and George enter their creations into a competition.
