Amid their efforts to move forward after the Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) ordeal in Coronation Street, the Driscoll family are going to face another huge problem soon as they discover there’s a high chance Ollie Driscoll (Raphael Akuwudike) is going to go to prison.
The situation begins when Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) decides to get drunk at the pub.
At the time, she believes that her relationship with George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) is reaching an end due to the fact he’s barely been in touch while he’s been away.
After drinking far too much booze, Christina topples over in the ginnel. She’s spotted by Jake Windass (Bobby Bradshaw), who pours water all over her and films the entire thing on his phone.
Just as Jake pours the water onto Christina, Ollie shouts at him to stop. The young lad rushes through the ginnel, forcing Ollie to race after him.
Christina and Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) find Ollie with Jake pinned to the floor. Christina shouts at Ollie, telling him that Jake only used water. Totally mortified, Ollie releases him.
In the aftermath, Jake’s dad Gary Windass (Mikey North) tells his son that it’s important for him to be honest when he makes his statement to the police.
Meanwhile, Christina and Glenda assure Ollie that he acted in good faith, but that doesn’t help him at all when PC Jess Heywood arrives and arrests him on suspicion of assault.
With Ollie potentially facing a custodial sentence, dad Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) tells Gary that there’s a high chance his son might go to prison.
Coronation Street star speaks out after sparking on-set feud rumours
Coronation Street star Jane Hazlegrove has spoken out after sparking rumours of an on-set feud. It was thought by some that the actor, who plays Bernie Winter-Alahan on the ITV soap, was taking aim at a co-star following a social media post.
On Monday (17 August), Hazlegrove shared a photo on Instagram, with the text reading: “Booking the role isn’t the end of the job interview. How you behave after you’re hired matters too.”
“Haven’t been visible for a long long time! But this post makes total sense! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
As my Dad used to say you are only as good as your last performance! Be nice! And if you can’t be nice… step away … cos people see,” she added.
While some thought the star was referring to another actor from Corrie, which could indicate some trouble behind the scenes of the soap, Hazlegrove later cleared up the rumours in the comment section.
“Just for clarification this post is NOT about anyone I am currently working with at Coronation Street. It’s a gentle reminder to be kind and professional at all times!” she confirmed.
Meanwhile, her co-star Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, took the opportunity to make a joke, asking: “This is me isn’t it?” Hazlegrove replied with a number of laughing faces, adding: “soz pal you don’t win this one!!! No it’s bloody not!!!”
The actor has recently been missing from the cobbles, alongside her on-screen husband Jimmi Harkishin (who plays Dev Alahan). However, Bernie returns home next week, and is shocked to see her estranged auntie Celeste.
It’s clear that there’s some tension between the pair, as Bernie gives her the cold shoulder even after Todd Grimshaw reveals that Celeste is dying. Will they manage to bury the hatchet before it’s too late?
