Corrie's Nick Tilsley bumps into Natasha Blakeman in hospital as former flame returns

In Coronation Street this week, Nick Tilsley bumps into a familiar face as his former flame Natasha Blakeman returns to the soap.

Nick (Ben Price) is currently battling with his son Oliver's life-limiting diagnosis, and the young boy is even put on life support in heartbreaking scenes to come.

Nick, along with Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) had been making plans to go on holiday in Cornwall with their son, who is three.

But they are interrupted while they are packing by a terrifying noise - Oliver's seizure alarm.

They rush him to hospital, and Nick and Steve McDonald, who is Oliver's dad, wait in the corridor.

The pair are shocked when they see Natasha (Rachel Leskovac), Nick's ex girlfriend approaching them.

When Nick reveals that he’s waiting for news of his stepson, Natasha says she is there for a dermatology appointment.

Later on, the doctor breaks the devastating news to Nick, Leanne and Steve that Oliver’s been moved to intensive care and put on life support.

Leanne is adamant that her son will put through, but Nick and Steve are not so sure.

As the trio wait for further updates and pray that Oliver makes it, will the little one survive?

Meanwhile, Geoff Metcalfe's downfall begins this week as he is confronted by the police with fresh evidence against him.

Sally enters Geoff's home to try to obtain the CCTV footage on his laptop - but she is caught by Geoff.

Next, the police arrive at number 4 and tell Geoff new evidence has come to light and they need to ask him some more questions.

Later, a heartbroken Tim is worried for his real mother Elaine Jones’ safety and resolves to track her down in Bolton after she went missing following an altercation with Geoff.

Tim tells Alya how sorry he is for failing to see that she was right about Geoff all along.

* Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV
