Coronation Street are airing a special episode tonight (Friday, May 1) which focuses on Geoff and Yasmeen as their coercive control storyline takes the next step.
Whilst most episodes of Corrie feature a number of different storylines running alongside each other, tonight’s visit to the cobbles focuses solely on the abuse story.
In the episode, Geoff continues his cruel abuse of his wife Yasmeen. He confiscates her mobile phone before locking her in the house to go out.
He later returns home and Sally pops her head over the fence to invite Geoff and Yasmeen to the Bistro reopening.
As they prepare to leave, Geoff hands Yasmeen a sexy dress and orders her to put it on before they head out.
Yasmeen does as she’s told, but it’s clear she’s not comfortable. Geoff steers her to the Rovers for a drink and when they arrive his son Tim and soon-to-be daughter-in-law Sally raise a glass to them.
Yasmeen is shocked to learn Geoff has agreed to pay for their wedding. Back at No.6, an argument breaks out and Geoff cruelly states he brought the dress for one of his many escorts.
A struggle ensues and Yasmeen grabs a bottle of wine. She’s soon forced to defend herself and Geoff slumps to the floor.
