Coronation Street is set for dramatic storylines in 2022, including a hit-and-run cover-up, a pregnancy shock, and a health scare. Emma and Faye find themselves in trouble after a car accident on New Year's Eve, when learner driver Faye knocks over an elderly man named Ted. Believing he is unharmed, they take him home but later decide to conceal the incident, fearing the consequences as Emma had been drinking and Faye was not supposed to be driving.
Elsewhere, Abi faces a potential pregnancy after a fling with Imran Habeeb. She tells Imran she must confess to husband Kevin if the test is positive, leaving viewers to wonder the outcome. Meanwhile, Tim Metcalfe receives worrying news after a health check: he needs a triple heart bypass. The consultant warns that without surgery, his next heart attack could be fatal, but Tim keeps the diagnosis from wife Sally.
Zeedan is shocked when his estranged wife Marrium appears, but the former couple admit they are still in love, leaving sister Alya concerned. Adam faces trouble from ex Lydia, who causes friction with wife Sarah. Lydia's behaviour escalates, including turning up drunk at work and losing her job, but Adam helps her find another role. However, Adam's car and office are vandalised, raising questions about who is targeting him.
Other storylines include Sarah and Adam's plans to start a family, David and Chesney dealing with parenting issues, and Steve McDonald discovering the identity of Amy's new boyfriend. Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
