Coronation Street is set for a week of confrontation and suspicion, with two violent acts on the horizon. Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) discovers that Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) wants to buy the school land, and that Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) is acting as his solicitor. Meanwhile, Idris hires Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) for another dubious job, and Gary Windass (Mikey North) grows concerned for his cellmate Marco Rhodes (William Teasdale).
Gary suspects foul play
On Monday, November 2, Gary spots bruising on Marco's arm and becomes suspicious. Marco quickly assures him it's nothing to worry about, making an excuse about bumping into something, but Gary is not convinced and questions whether someone else was responsible for the injuries.
Adam and Daniel clash
On Tuesday, November 3, things turn ugly between Adam and Daniel after the revelation that Adam is representing Idris in his bid to acquire the school land. While rushing to court, Adam is accosted by Daniel, who berates him in the street for stabbing him in the back after encouraging his petition. Adam argues that it's just business and nothing personal, but Daniel doesn't see it that way, raising the question of whether this is the start of a new Barlow feud.
Leanne catches Brody in a lie
On Wednesday, November 4, Brody arrives for work and smoothly lies about what he got up to the night before as Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) questions him. However, when Leanne points out that she saw him breaking into the factory and makes it clear she suspects Idris orchestrated things, both men are put on the spot. As Idris asks for a private word with Leanne, it remains to be seen whether he can talk his way out of trouble.
