Coronation Street has unveiled teasers for its spring storylines this year, including the arrival of drug lord Harvey, played by Will Mellor.
Harvey will drag Leanne Battersby into his drugs ring as she attempts to free her son Simon from his clutches and repay him, in harrowing scenes as the grieving mum is taken advantage of.
Soap boss Iain MacLeod said the storyline "starts quite small" but turns into a |colossal, thriller-ish, high-octane piece, which "forces Leanne to put her war paint on and go out in defence of her remaining son."
Tyrone Dobbs is also set to have a steamy affair with Alina Pop, who moved in with him and girlfriend Fiz Stape, before he realised he had feelings for her.
The younger and beautiful Alina burst in on Tyrone wearing just a towel, and Tyrone appears to be suffering from a midlife crisis as he is consumed with thoughts of Alina when a health scare forces him to spend more time at home, with her.
But Fiz is totally unaware and will try to rekindle the flame in their relationship - will she find out the truth, and how will she react?
Spoilers tell fans to expect "catastrophic consequences" of the illicit storyline.
Newcomer Ronnie Bailey has a big secret that is set to be revealed in shocking upcoming scenes, after sister-in-law Aggie is less than impressed he is back.
Ed's brother has been impressing him and his son Michael, but Aggie has been far from welcoming - but for a "more personal reason" that will become clear in months to come.
What is Ronnie's big secret, and will it tear the family apart?
Corrie spoilers reveal Ronnie is hiding "the daddy of all secrets" - could this be a teaser for a paternity revelation?
Elsewhere, Carla Connoe and Peter Barlow commit to getting married, but it's a race against the clock as Peter's health is rapidly declining.
Will they make it down the aisle to become husband and wife at last?
