PETER Barlow is trying to support his wife Carla Connor following her apparent relapse into psychosis.
But next week in Coronation Street, the cabbie has to break terrible news to the Underworld factory boss about her own business.
Carla Connor has been pushed out of the Underworld factory
The businesswoman’s mental health has grown into a major cause for concern in the cobbles, particularly after she crashed a van into Paul Foreman.
Since then, everything appears to be on the decline for Carla (played by Alison King) and she’s been left to get some well-needed rest from her daily hassles.
Meanwhile, her husband Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) is trying to make sure she has a business to return to.
But in scenes due to air next week on ITV, he’s stunned to find Stephen Reid (Canadian actor Todd Boyce) in charge.
Peter holds the staff responsible and accuses them of stabbing Carla in the back.
Later on, the Weatherfield cab driver pays Carla a visit with the bombshell and he tells her that the factory workers have voted to put Stephen in charge.
How will she react?
Carla’s state hides a dark secret about Stephen Reid.
As viewers of the Manchester-based drama, the failing businessman is trying to get payback for being demoted but is also determined to make the Underworld factory his owns.
This has prompted him to come up with a plan to make sure Carla is deemed unfit to be running a business.
Stephen has been spiking Carla with liquid LSD, triggering hallucinations and outbursts.
Carla tried to get rid of Stephen and sacked him when he tried to initiate a vote about keeping her around as the boss.
The criminal, who already has two murders under his belt, was grassed on by telesales agent Faye Windass and Carla was ready to wipe her hands clean of Stephen.
Unfortunately for her, Underworld client Rufus refused to do business with Carla and only wanted to work with Stephen, which meant she had no choice but to hire him again.
Stephen accepted, on the one condition he was made manager.
How does he intend to get rid of Carla permanently?
Will his actions ever be exposed?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
