Coronation Street spoilers as Carla Connor's missing weeks are finally revealed

When a broken Carla Connor fled the cobbles last year, fans were left wondering what happened during the missing weeks of her life - and the truth will finally be revealed next week on Coronation Street.

Carla, who went on the run after her Underworld factory collapsed, insists that she has no idea who mystery girl Chelsey is when she turns up in Weatherfield.

But she's shocked when she reminds her that they stayed in the same squat when she was sleeping rough last year.

Carla went on the run after the tragic death of Rana Habeeb in the factory.

The former factory boss suffered a mental breakdown after her beloved Underworld was sabotaged, bringing down the roof.

The catastrophe killed Rana, who had returned to the building on her wedding day to retrieve her bag, and trapped some of the Underworld employees.

She eventually returned to the street after hearing how much her loved-ones missed her, and turned up in at good friend Roy Cropper's flat.

Chelsey tells Carla she wants a grand off her or she will tell partner Peter Barlow what she got up to.

Later Chesley returns to the pub with a man named Jordan who reminds Carla that he ran the squat and she'd better pay up for the drugs she destroyed.

When Peter demands to know what is going on, she comes clean and admits he's trying to blackmail her with Chelsey.

Newcomer Scott escorts Chelsey and Jordan out of the pub. And later when there's a news report on the radio about a serious assault of a man and a woman on a local estate, Peter turns the radio off so Carla doesn't hear.

Elsewhere, Sally Metcalfe refuses to sit with Tim and Geoff in the pub. 

And when Adam Barlow decides it's time for widower Daniel Osbourne to get out and about and go with him to a swanky lawyers’ drinks reception, Daniel is intrigued by a female guest called Nicky.

Adam is pleased to see Daniel having a good time with an attractive woman. And when Nicky suggests they make a night of it Daniel agrees.
