Corrie spoilers: Simon begs Nina to remember Seb attack in bid to save Kelly

Simon Barlow begs Nina Lucas to help save Kelly Neelan from prison in Coronation Street next week.

Roy's niece Nina has been forever changed by the brutal hate crime attack that left her badly beaten and claimed the life of her beloved boyfriend Seb Franklin.

Now times are set to get harder as teens Corey Brent and Kelly Neelan go on trial for the murder of Seb, but Nina still struggles to remember the attack despite being convinced of their guilt.

Next week it becomes clear to Kelly's foster father and lawyer Imran Habeeb that Corey has an extensive legal team at his disposal, led by Imran's ex-wife Sabeen.

It also becomes clear that Corey will be calling footballer Tommy Orpington as a character witness, with Sabeen making clear that Kelly will struggle to be acquitted at the trial.

Sabeen suggests to Imran that they both ask the court for the ages of Corey and Kelly to be taken into account to preserve their anonymity, which infuriates Seb's mum Abi and her partner Kevin Webster when they hear the news.

However, Imran's partner Toyah Battersby is dismayed when she discovers Corey and Kelly's identities have been leaked on a Tommy Orpington fansite.

It becomes clear that Kevin's son Jack posted their identities and Toyah is shocked when Imran makes clear that he will use this to delay and affect the trial in Kelly's favour.

At the pre-trial review, Imran clashes with Sabeen as it becomes clear that new evidence about blood spatters on Kelly's trainers from the attack have emerged.

The pair also discovered that a manslaughter charge may be offered and with it carries a reduced sentence.
