Coronation Street is dominated by medical traumas and mishaps next week as two men struggle in the wake of terrible news, while Roy Cropper (David Neilson) has worries of his own.

Following his horrific burns from an acid attack, Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) is bracing himself to see the full extent of his injuries.

Supported by Alya Nazir (Sair Khan), he is overwhelmed when he sees what has been done to his face.

The doctor then has further bad news when Ryan is informed that his scars aren’t healing as they should be, and he is going to need a skin graft.

While this is going on, attacker Justin (Andrew Still) takes the stand in court and there’s horror all round when he pleads not guilty.

Meanwhile, Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) is still trying to get his head around his potential diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease, knowing that he could face a terminal decline.

As he tries to get answers one way or another, he makes a surreptitious call, not yet ready to share his fears with his loved ones.

And elsewhere, Roy suffers chest pains and heads to the hospital to find out what’s wrong.

Here’s what to expect next week.
