Is Coronation Street on tonight?

Tonight’s episode of Coronation Street has been cancelled.

Instead, ITV will air live coverage of the FA Cup match between Manchester United and West Ham United.

The programme starts at 7pm, with kick off at 7.45pm, meaning there is no Emmerdale either.

When is Coronation Street on next?

The missed episode of Corrie will instead air on Thursday, March 2.

It will be in the normal timeslot of 8pm and be on for an hour.

Emmerdale will also air for an hour on Thursday, starting at 7pm.

Coronation Street then shows as normal on Friday (March 3) at 8pm.

What happens in Corrie tomorrow night?

Things get pretty bad for Stephen in Thursday’s Coronation Street.

He is desperately trying to get rid of Carla, so as she prepares for her important presentation, he laces her tea with LSD again.

However, when she spits it out and says he’s used full fat milk Stephen realises there’s a problem.

He’s given her the wrong tea.

It means either he or Sarah have drunk the LSD tea and it soon becomes clear he’s fallen victim to his own poisoning scheme.

As he takes to the stage, he’s sweating and his vision is blurred.

But will Stephen reveal his true colours as he struggles to control what’s coming out of his mouth?

Paul gets an offer from Peter

Paul is devastated to learn his hand could take 12 weeks to heal.

Gemma tells him he needs to talk to Carla about loss of earnings.

But Peter has found out Carla wasn’t even insured to drive the van and, desperate to protect her, offers Paul a deal.

He gives him £15k as long as he drops any case he’s thinking of pursuing against Carla.

Paul accepts, but then changes his mind after Dee-Dee advises him to wait for a full diagnosis.

Maria opens up about her own ordeal, but will Daisy take her advice?

Also, Sally schemes to get Faye interested in her daughter, and Kevin gets devastating news about his father.
