**Uneasy schemes and unsettling discoveries next week (Picture: ITV)**

Next week on Coronation Street, there will be some unexpected findings that prompt dramatic action, some of which our favorite characters might come to regret.

After Tommy Orpington’s (Matt Milburn) departure, Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) is depressed, and gullible Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) believes they may save their marriage as a result.

So much so that he burns Tommy’s letter out of impulse when he finds it. However, everything collapses for him once more when Tracy decides to move to Spain and bids him farewell, meaning that this time it’s truly over.

While everything is going on, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) conducts further research in an effort to learn the truth about the missing money from Underworld.

It makes things appear extremely dangerous for Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) and forces Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) to make a significant admission.

After reading Tommy’s letter urging Tracy to go to Spain with him, Steve conceals it. Tracy tells Amy she misses having a man in her life over lunch at the Bistro.

When Steve gets home, he is shocked to see Tracy there. As he goes in his pocket for Tommy’s note, Tracy says she wants to get back together, and Steve freezes dead in his tracks. Steve is reassured by Tracy that Tommy was a careless error, and she vows to return permanently.

A reserved Tracy watches Steve leave for a celebratory bottle of wine. Dev is appalled and won’t serve Steve after he admits that he and Tracy are back together.

Tracy suggests that they head to the pub instead, and in an effort to keep his marriage intact, Steve destroys Tommy’s letter.

Bethany assumes Daisy must have spent a fortune as she gets out of Tim’s taxi carrying her shopping bags, but Daisy snarls that everything comes from the Alderley Edge charity stores.

A curious Bethany notes that they should maintain a low profile when it comes to money as she overhears Jenny ripping a strip off Daisy for going on such a shopping spree.

After Tim admits that he picked Daisy up from the heart of Manchester, Bethany comes to the conclusion that she was lying.

David notifies Maria that Audrey will look to replace her if she doesn’t get back to work very soon. Maria confides in Gary that even though they need the money, she doesn’t feel ready to leave Liam and that she will lose her job if she doesn’t return soon.
