As she returns home, hungover, Lisa’s relieved and explains that with Rob on the loose, it’s not safe to go out alone.
But Betsy’s dismissive and heads back out.
In the precinct, Betsy becomes aware that she’s being followed.
She sets off at speed, but the man gives chase and we see that it’s Rob!
Is Betsy in danger?
Elsewhere, Yasmeen reveals to Alya that she’s sold her half of Speed Daal.
As Alya shakes hands with her new business partner, will all run smoothly?
And Yasmeen and Alya share an emotional farewell.
Back in January, The Sun revealed actress Shelley King will be leaving the role of Yasmeen after 11 years.
It was reported the 69-year-old had already finished filming her final scenes.
A TV insider said: “This will be another blow for fans of the show, as Yasmeen is a much-loved character who’s part of the fabric of Corrie.
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
“She’s had some huge storylines since she joined the soap in 2014, and she’ll be sorely missed by cast and crew.
“It’s understood she is leaving so she can explore other projects.”
Several beloved characters are set to leave the ITV soap in the coming months.
This includes Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver), Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan).
Will Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) be next to be axed and written out?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV1 and ITVX.
