They may have only just arrived in Weatherfield but Ben Driscoll and Eva Price are thrown into panic, while Carl Webster cruelly tricks sister Debbie in Coronation Street next week. At the start of the week, in the Rovers, Eva, Ben and his mother, Maggie, excitedly prepare for Will Driscoll's homecoming. However when Ollie returns and explains that his brother wasn’t at the station despite his train arriving on time and he’s not answering his phone, Eva's thrown into panic. Maggie reminds Eva that he never wanted to move so he’s probably chosen to stay in Hull. But as they fret about Will’s disappearance, David arrives wearing Ben’s previously framed rugby shirt, determined to get his own back after Ben made him a laughing stock. Eva fears that David has no idea who he’s messing with but distracted, Ben reveals he’s off to Hull in the hope he can find Will. But when Ben returns from an unsuccessful trip, he and Eva are soon seen ushering police officers into the Rovers. What they don't know, however, is that Will is watching from across the street. He then sneaks round the back and, finding Lily Platt, offers her £20 to grab something from inside. Emerging from the pub with Ben and Eva, Lily reveals that Will offered her £20 to fetch his passport. The family are flooded with relief as Will eventually walks in with Megan, his athletics coach from Hull, who explains she found him bedding down in his old changing rooms so drove him over. As Ben and Eva demand an explanation, Will claims he wants to stay in Hull with his mates. Citing the love note and Will’s attempt to steal his passport, Ben reckons there’s more to it. So what is Will hiding? While viewers will have to wait and see, Will clearly sticks around as he later sets off for his first day at Weathy High. Will meets Liam Connor and realising they’re neighbours, persuades Liam to skive off with him. In the Rovers’ back room, Will confides in Liam about his girlfriend. But when Maggie finds the lads sharing a beer, how will she react? Elsewhere, Debbie tells Carl that she’d like him to be more involved in the running of the hotel, but that she’ll continue to look after the financial side of the business. But it soon becomes clear that's not enough, as when Carl suggests she should take a holiday and enjoy the fruits of her success, Debbie’s thoughtful. As she prevaricates over booking, she’s summoned to deal with a query, leaving Carl with her phone. Debbie’s astonished when Carl shows her an email confirming her holiday, unable to remember completing the booking. Carl suggests she did so by mistake. As a rattled Debbie tries to cancel the holiday, Carl points out it’s non-refundable. While Debbie’s devastated by her apparent blunder but Ronnie’s supportive and suggests it’s just what they need. As Debbie starts to make plans, Carl asks for access to the hotel bank account so that he can pay bills in her absence. But is that his real motive? Meanwhile, when Carla Connor tells Lisa that it’s only a matter of time before Becky gets her claws into her, Lisa assures her that’s not true but it's fair to say that Carla's left sceptical. Later, having been summoned by Carla, a wary Becky arrives as Carla spells out that she has no part to play in Lisa’s future. But when Becky asserts that Lisa still loves her and she can see it in her eyes, will Carla be rattled? Later, it's clear Betsy ins't fully aware of Becky's plans to just get her and Lisa to Spain, as the teen asks Carla to try talking Lisa into them all taking a break together in Spain with Becky. But will Carla agree? At the end of the week, Lisa visits Costello to ask if there’s any loophole that will allow her and Carla to marry. Costello insists not and instructs Lisa to force Becky to go back to being dead in Spain. As Lisa explains to Carla that a wedding could see her charged with bigamy, an angry Carla accuses her of keeping her options open. When Lisa tells Betsy about her row with Carla, it is Betsy who questions whether she still has feelings for Becky, which leaves Lisa rattled. Meanwhile Costello tells Becky he’s booked her a flight to Spain for tomorrow and, if she doesn’t go quietly, he’ll have her killed like he did Tia Wardley. Also on the cobbles, Ruby Dobbs tells her parents Fiz and Tyrone she’s being teased for having a "cringey and clapped" mobile phone. When Tyrone declares they can’t afford a new one, Ruby’s fed up. Later, Hope arrives home from school and shows Tyrone the latest nasty message she’s received. He’s horrified to read the insult, "cringey and clapped". Has Hope's messenger been exposed?
