Corrie's evil Sharon targets Aadi in latest plan to track down Simon for Harvey

Coronation Street's Sharon Bentley is going to extreme lengths to track down Simon Barlow for her villainous nephew Harvey, putting others in danger.

Spoilers for the ITV soap have confirmed that next week, she will target Dev Alahan's teenage son Aadi to get to his pal.

To do this, she tricks Dev into thinking she likes him and suggests a meet-up at his house.

While Dev is flattered and thinks he's in with a chance, she's actually trying to get her hands on Aadi's games console as a new plan to get hold of Simon.

Simon and his mother Leanne Battersby are currently in witness protection, after their involvement in Harvey and his drug gang's arrest last month.

Leanne helped the police capture Harvey and some of his thugs - but he has many others still out there determined to help him break free.

Harvey wants to find Simon and Leanne to stop them spilling the beans at his trial - while he's made it clear if he finds them, he will kill them.

He's enlisted the help of Sharon, his aunt, to find them for him and she's been using poor little Sam, the son of Nick Tilsley who is also in witness protection with ex Leanne.

Poor Sam, who has been tricked into thinking Sharon is his friend, will be kidnapped next week as Sharon's efforts to bring Nick back to the street take a horrifying turn.

But now spoilers reveal Aadi could also be in big trouble, when she manages to access his games console and uses the online feature to send a message to Simon.

Sharon, pretending to be Aadi, asks Simon a couple of times where he is in a bid to make contact - but will he fall for it?

Simon's already risked everything before by returning to the street to see his dad Peter, and he was almost caught by Harvey's thugs.

So will he really risk it all again by trusting Aadi, who is completely unaware of what's going on?

Sharon convinces Dev to confiscate Aadi's games console to stop the teen finding the messages and alerting anyone to the danger.

But whether her desperate plan will work remains to be seen.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
