Corrie spoilers for next week: A killer returns, fire horror and DNA twist

Coronation Street airs big twists next week, with plenty to tease viewers with ahead of the winter storylines unfolding.

There's the return of sorts of a killer, as Will Mellor's character Harvey Gaskell makes contact a year on from his crime spree.

Elsewhere, and another murder could be solved as Stu Carpenter may finally be cleared for the crime he did not commit, as the DNA results are in.

There's also a fire, which leads to Aaron Sandford making a decision about his romance with Summer Spellman - while one character is rushed to hospital. Here's a look at the week ahead on the cobbles...

Harvey returns

Coronation Street airs big twists next week (ITV)

Will Mellor could be returning to the ITV soap amid his Strictly Come Dancing stint.

Spoilers for next week have hinted at a return for evil Harvey Gaskell. The killer caused heartbreak and chaos on the Cobbles last year as he returned to kill Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) but in a case of mistaken identity, he murdered Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac) and left her son Sam (Jude Riordan) completely broken.

On the ITV soap next week, Nick is stunned as he reveals to Leanne that they have both received letters from prison. The pair are shocked to see they've received prison visiting orders from Harvey.

Agreeing not to respond, Nick rips them up and they both try to move on. However, Leanne is still left reeling from the visiting order and admits to Nick that she won't be able to rest until she knows what Harvey wants.

Fire horror

Coronation Street is lining up worrying scenes next week (ITV)

Coronation Street is lining up worrying scenes next week, as new spoilers confirm a fire leaves one character in danger.

Aaron Sandford is alarmed to discover his father has been rushed to hospital after his house goes up in flames.

The teenager, who is dating Summer Spellman, has been distant with Eric since he revealed how his alcoholic father was violent towards him.

Refusing to see him, Aaron is relieved next week when Billy and Todd agree to visit Eric to check on him so that he doesn't have to.

Aaron is bombarded with angry text messages from his dad who lashes out at him.

Summer fears what Eric will do to Aaron if he returns home, and soon Billy and Todd return from their visit and they report back that he was drunk and angry.

This stops Aaron from going to see him - only for disaster to strike.

DNA twist

Coronation Street fans are in for a DNA shock next week (ITV)

Coronation Street fans are in for a DNA shock next week on the ITV soap, as Alya Nazir receives new information on Stu Carpenter's case.

Next week, Bridget and Eliza enjoy a brunch with Yasmeen and Stu, but a question from Eliza about her granddad's time behind bars proves too much for Bridget, and she runs out into the garden.

Stu follows her to comfort her, letting her know how angry he was at being jailed for something he didn't do – but he's soon left reeling by Bridget's shocking revelation.

Dee-Dee, meanwhile, leaves Alya a voicemail explaining that the DNA results are due tomorrow.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
