To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video
Next week in Coronation Street, panic takes hold as Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) is left reeling from a string of betrayals and police drama, only for Gary Windass (Mikey North) to vanish without a trace.
With Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) growing increasingly anxious and Maria fearing the worst, one question looms: Where is Gary, and is he in danger?
As days pass and Liam's concerns grow, Maria questions whether Gary has taken the time to clear his head after a confusing run-in with Lou or if something far more serious is going on.
It all kicked off when Maria arrived home from the police station after being accused of assault following her confrontation with Lou, where she accused her of stealing cash from the salon. She was furious and suspected that Lou was the one who reported her.
A conniving Lou paid a visit to Gary, insisting she doesn't want trouble. In an attempt to keep the peace, Gary offered her a beer, but things soon moved into dangerous territory.
While Gary was in the toilet, Lou sent herself a secret message off his phone. When he returned, Lou made a move and tried to kiss Gary, only for him to jump back in horror. Feeling humiliated, Lou retaliated and threatened Gary with blackmail.
Maria then returned home to find Gary packing a bag. He told her he's going to stay with his mum for a few days. Gary admitted that Lou came round but promised nothing happened.
Maria struggled to believe him and broke down in tears, devastated that he may be hiding something.

Good Morning Britain and EastEnders stars join royals for final day of Ascot
A number of celebrities were in attendance at the final day of the Royal Ascot on Saturday - where King Charles and Queen Camilla cheered on the horse racing events Celebrities and Royals mingled together for the 2025 final of the Royal Ascot on Saturday. King Charles III and Queen Camilla were in attendance to oversee an afternoon of high adrenaline - and high stakes - horse racing. His Majesty The King showcased his infamous quintessential style wearing a summer suit - with a pop of colour coming via a pastel yellow waistcoat. The King added a top hat to his look and carried a smart umbrella as the forecast carried a risk of downpours. Meanwhile the Queen donned a light-weight pleated white dress with a matching white jacket. She completed her look with a white had and white heels - and too was ready for any eventuality on the weather front by carrying an umbrella of her own. The royal couple arrived via horse drawn carriage and looked in high spirits as they prepared to supervise an afternoon of equestrian sport. Also in attendance was Princess Eugenie, 35, who stood out in a red dress and hat for the day ahead. While a range of celebrities also turned up to watch all the sun-soaked action. Good Morning Britain star Charlotte Hawkins was among those in attendance at the event on Saturday. She sported a floaty, yellow summer dress with a matching coloured hat resting lightly on her head. The TV star has been giving commentary for ITV about the event - and admitted she might sound more knowledgeable when speaking on air than she really is. In a behind-the-scenes post on Instagram, Charlotte revealed how she frantically makes notes about the various VIPs and royals that will be attending the races. She revealed: "Every day, we get sent an email with the carriage list, and we find out who is going to be in each of the carriages. But sometimes, you know, there are some names that we need to explain. Who they are, what they do." Sharing a look at her cheat sheet, she went on: "I do have this sort of master sheet, which has a whole load of people... And it does become a bit like a craft project, because I get my little handy scissors, I'll snip out who it is, and then I will piece it together on these sheets here. So I'm letting you into all my secrets here." She added: "This is all my own research, but I am actually just double checking that I've remembered exactly who is because there nothing worse than getting your people mixed up and you're talking about something as important as the Royal procession." Also among the stars in attendance on Saturday was EastEnders icon Rudolph Walker - who has played Patrick Truman on the BBC soap since 2001. The 85-year-old looked dapper in a suit with a cream waistcoat and tie, and a jaunty top hat. Meanwhile, Escape to the Country star Nicki Chapman who looked chic in a delightful pink summer jacket and dress. She matched her outfit with a pink hat and carried a small silver clutch. Talking fans through her look on Instagram, the TV star said: "Welcome to Chappers catwalk, getting ready for Royal Ascot today. So let's start off with the hat by Laylaleigh. She made it specially for me... it matches the dress. "And then [hair stylist] Nina [Nikol] has done such a beautiful job on the hair, so you don't see any of the paraphernalia keeping it in place. So together, they really complement each other." She went on to explain that she got her dress from Self Portrait, her bag from LK Bennett, and her shoes from Zara. She then revealed she would be getting some advice later in the day from her mother. Nicki revealed: "Mummy, you're going to give us some good tips. Yes, she is. She's going to stay here and tell us what we should be betting on. But looking forward to today, absolutely." Punters stood to win impressive prizes by betting on the right horse - while those taking part in the sport could win as much as £1 million if they managed to ride their horse to the finish line fastest. Reviewing the events, Paddy Power notes: "Every renewal is worth at least £110,000, the minimum value of a Group 1 has been increased to £650,000, while the most lucrative contests of the week boast £1,000,000 funds." Shearing details of the day ahead, the betting company added: "Among the attractions are Treanmor and Moments Of Joy going head-to-head in the opening Chesham Stakes at 14:30, while the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at 15:40 looks a wide-open contest as Lazzat, Inisherin, Santono Reve, Storm Boy and Topgear all have claims." Despite the Royal Ascot being a fixture in the society diary, horse racing fans were shocked this week when celebrations descended into bloody violence. Two men came to blows at the grounds on Friday, leaving fans stunned. The Daily Mail reported on the violence, revealing: "A group of men attempt to separate the brawling pair. The group could briefly be heard telling the fighting men: 'Stop, stop, boys.' "While one man, dressed in a grey suit, was dragged away, the other was picked up from the ground with blood gushing from his face. "The bloodied racegoer wiped his visage and then bloodied his cream trousers as he seemingly yelled at the man he had fought only moments before." It is unclear what caused the unexpected burst of violence.

90s pop icon admits they lost out on Glastonbury performance for sad reason
Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins has revealed that the group was asked to perform with the Bee Gees at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage but was unable to arrange the logistics in time Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins is one of the most memorable stars of the legendary 90's pop group who took the world by storm with a plethora of hits across the world. But now, it has come to light that there was one part of his pop career that he still holds a level of regret over - and that was missing out on performing at Glastonbury Festival. The group's song Tragedy attracted the attention of the organisers of Glastonbury which led to an invitation to perform at the sought after Pyramid stage. At the time, the hit song sold more than 1.2million copies in the UK. Speaking to Metro, the pop star explained: "The Bee Gees asked us to join them on stage. But it was a really late request, and we literally couldn't get it all together in time." He added: "Of course, some of them have passed away now, so that will never happen again. But that's another little jewel in the Steps crown." But with the group's musical Here and Now, which is set to tour around the UK ending up at London's West End, it seems the prospect of appearing on the bill of the iconic festival is clearly still on the group's mind. Ian continued: "We're the only ones, really, from that era that have all the original members and are still going, so it feels like we've earned our stripes by now." At the time of the height of his career, Ian explained that his sex life was the subject of interest among the media and felt unable to come out as gay. Recalling the moment he followed in the media footsteps of Stephen Gately and Will Young, who were revealed as gay, Ian said he received a phone call he had been desperate to avoid while on holiday. He told the publication: "They knew where I was, who I was with, and why I was there – I had a boyfriend." He added: "Immediately, I flew back from holiday, told my loved ones, told my family, told my parents, and then the next day, they didn't run the story, because I didn't give them quotes. But they threatened me for many years, and I felt like my coming out story was taken from me; my power was taken away, so it was a really emotional, dark time for me." But Ian was not alone. Boyzone star Stephen Gately and N'SYNC's Lance Bass was also struggling with press attention over their sexuality. Ian added: "If the press knew you were gay, it was a really tricky thing to be seen together or to even admit that you were friends with another closeted gay person." He then decided to forge firm friendships with his bandmates and other stars including Britany Spears. Ian continued: "All of her dancers were gay anyway. People thought I was dating Brittany a long time ago, but that obviously wasn't the case – that was strange."

Neighbours is lining up a huge week for Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), as he makes a momentous decision regarding his future. He's had a tough time of late, spending much of last week in a coma with stroke-like symptoms after being poisoned by his dastardly nephew Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety). Now, confronted with returning to normality, he surprises wife Susan (Jackie Woodburne) with a revelation. Ramsay Street lives up to its name next week when two new members of the clan arrive. Max's (Ben Jackson) mum Yvette (Libby Tanner) and youngster Saskia (Mia Foran) jet in to visit him, but it's not long before the latter decides to make it her permanent home. She immediately makes quite the impact on Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux), who is surprised to see her innocent façade drop when she tries to kiss him! Elsewhere, Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) grows closer to his daughter's bestie Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong-Hall) when she accompanies him on a trip to meet his biological family in Sandy Point. It all goes swimmingly, but why are they so keen to conceal their late-night drinks from his wife Wendy (Candice Leask)? Plus, Cara Varga-Murphy's (Sara West) in hot water at work when brother-in-law Taye Obasi's (Lakota Johnson) escorting is exposed, and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) suffers another setback in his love triangle. For all the hottest goss from Down Under, I'm your man! Here's Metro's guide to next week's Neighbours action. Holly accompanies Andrew on his trip to Sandy Point, in search of answers regarding his biological family. Upon arriving at the marina, they encounter his dad Steven and sister Gretchen on his boat. Steven's moved to finally meet his long-lost son, with Gretchen explaining that she lied about his nature to Wendy because she was worried about her dad's health. He's battling lung cancer – but luckily is responding well to treatment. After a lovely day, Holly notices that Andrew's on a huge high and suggests that they stop off in the city for a celebratory drink, and they enjoy one another's company. The next morning, Wendy is thrilled to be offered a job interview at Erinsborough High, but is brought back down to reality after learning about Holly accompanying him to meet his family. She accuses him of being a hypocrite, and when Holly arrives, she's shocked by Andrew's decision not to tell his wife about their late-night drink. Elsewhere, Karl's nearest and dearest gather around his hospital bed and he seems subdued. Jane secures a meeting with Darcy in prison, and Susan thinks her husband should do the same. Karl insists that he never wants to see his nephew ever again. In the prison, Darcy apologises to a livid Jane, and offers her some comfort by recalling an anecdote that proved Amanda never stopped caring for her. The next day, Karl is discharged from hospital and decides to pluck up the courage to face his attempted killer. All he wants to know is why he was targeted. Being honest, Darcy tells him that Karl is too old to be practising medicine. He's left furious, and it really knocks his confidence. He heads home and tells Susan that he has no intentions of rushing back to Eirini Rising. Two new Ramsays arrive on the street – Max's mum Yvette, and his younger sister Saskia. He's shocked when Yvette suggests that Saskia move to Erinsborough long term, due to a bullying situation back home in Brisbane. Max wants to help his little sister, but isn't sure that his flatmates will be on board. He can see how desperate they both are for it to happen, with Taye and Byron soon talked round.

After demanding answers, she's shocked by what she hears! Elsewhere, tensions are running high between Andrew and Wendy ahead of her interview at the school. She vents to Jane, who suggests that she might want to look at the bigger picture. Andrew could've handled things better, but ultimately, he's found his father and things have worked out for the best – which is exactly what she wanted. After taking in the advice, Wendy takes in her husband's apology and makes amends for her behaviour too. But as they repair their relationship, the secret of Andrew's drinks with Holly looms large… The Varga-Murphys can't believe that Taye has been operating as an escort, and especially that Lydia was his star client. They're both supportive of him, and Cara decides to confront Lydia about the situation. She denies everything and threatens retaliatory action. Undeterred, Cara tells the police academy, who arrange for her to be re-assigned a new mentor. Unfortunately, the person is an old friend of Lydia's and there could be a possible blowback. Taye approaches Byron for help, but there may still be some trouble ahead… Elsewhere, Saskia is nervous ahead of her first day at her new school, but her spirits are lifted by support from her new neighbours – including the suggestion of a barbecue be hosted to welcome her to the community. Her new life gets off to a good start, she meets neighbours Dex – who instantly develops a crush – JJ, and Wendy, who is also a newbie to the corridors, and she thanks Max for all of his support. He's hopeful that his shy, studious sister will come out of her shell. What he doesn't realise is that she's not as naïve as she makes out, and she takes no time to ask Byron for help adjusting her bikini strap. She then propositions him and tries to plant a kiss! Across the road, Andrew receives a box of photographs and mementoes from his biological family, and Holly helps him go through them. She's moved seeing him so emotional, and soon loses track of the time – arriving late to Saskia's party. Byron is stunned by Saskia's advances and assures her that it won't be going any further. Everyone gathers for her bash, and she charms them with her sweet, innocent persona, which makes Byron feel deeply uncomfortable. He doesn't know how to read her, or whether to tell Max about what she did. Dex asks her out on a date, but she fobs him off with an excuse about how she's too committed to her studios to be distracted by a boy. Byron overhears, and sees it as another inconsistency in her behaviour. Ultimately, he decides to keep the attempted kiss a secret, knowing that the truth would hurt Max. Saskia is glad that he's saved her the embarrassment, and as they seem to reach a reset, she flirtatiously shows off her body and suggests that he's missing out. Rhett comes along to the barbecue as Aaron's plus one, and there's clear chemistry between them both. Just as things are starting to look up, Colton arrives and clears up Aaron's misconception about him not being interested. Cara isn't impressed to see him there and works double time to prove that Rhett is the right man for her mate. The competition for Aaron's affections begin to mess with his head, as Rhett and Colton come to loggerheads during a game of volleyball. He comes to the conclusion that he's going to have to make a choice, and decides to head home to think it over. Nicolette tracks him down and urges him to go back, as in his absence, the two men seem to be taking a liking to each other. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
