Determined to keep her trafficking secret safe, she even lied to Seb that Alina had quit her job at the beauty salon she was working at, leaving Seb gutted that she seemed to be cutting all ties with him… unaware Rachel was behind it all.

But when Sally and Abi went to get their nails done, the pair were shocked to find Alina still working at the salon, and next week Seb becomes determined to get to the bottom of what is going on.

Faye urges Seb not to give up on Alina and he agrees that he’s got nothing to lose. But when he calls her and the line suddenly goes dead, he and Abi are convinced there is something sinister happening.

At the salon, Abi distracts Rachel while Seb sneaks round the back to see his girlfriend, but he’s stunned when he finds her sitting on a mattress on the floor and realises this is her home.

Seb is horrified at the situation that Alina is in and begs her to come home with him, but before she can, Rachel arrives.

The handyman hides out of view while Rachel viciously warns Alina that if she doesnt behave then she will make life very difficult for her and her family.

Totally suspicious of Jan, Seb is determined to get to the bottom of what is happening and the following day he visits the salon to tell Rachel he knows that she is up to.

Rachel doesn’t take too kindly to the builder’s threats and calls her husband and tells him that Seb needs to be dealt with because he knows too much. Has Seb just landed himself in grave danger?

After witnessing more dodgy dealings between Rachel and Jan, Seb decides to confront him at home – but as he does, Eileen walks in right at the crucial moment.

As Seb fills Eileen in on why he is arguing with Jan, she is left stunned… only for Jan to work his charm once again and throw them off the scent by claiming he also just found out about the trafficking and was telling Rachel that he would no longer be doing jobs at the salon for her.

But will anyone believe Jan is innocent?

And what about Alina? Will anyone go to the police and tell them everything?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
