Coronation Street is gearing up for an explosive start to 2019.
Lewis Archer (played by Nigel Havers) is at the heart of it all as his scheming and cruel ways look set to be exposed.
Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) has so far avoided believing her daughter, Gail Platt (Helen Worth), who has been telling her he is dodgy.
But in the coming episodes, Lewis will find himself in trouble as his lies are exposed.
The Coronation Street villain has been conning numerous women and Audrey is just the latest.
Lewis and Audrey plans to go to the Bistro for a romantic dinner date to see in 2019.
However, it’s not as innocent as it seems as the latter has just realised she has been the victim of a hefty theft.
She was left a substantial fortune by Archie Shuttleworth (Roy Hudd) upon his death.
But that has since changed as it has disappeared from her account.
Gail has planted some suspicions in her head that Lewis is the guilty party.
However, when Audrey gets to the Bistro, she discovers Lewis is nowhere to be seen.
Immediately, she starts to think Gail might be right about her villainous lover.
Poor Audrey can’t help herself from crying as she realises she might have lost any hope of finding love again.
But there’s good news on the horizon as she picks herself up and declares she won’t cry any more.
Will Audrey get her money back before Lewis runs off?
Gail found herself in trouble last night on Coronation Street when Lewis crept up on her.
He insisted he had had enough of her meddling and warned her to stay out of his business.
Lewis told her she would live to “regret it” if she continued.
But will she team up with Audrey before it’s too late?
Coronation Street continues tonight on ITV at 8pm.
