Idris ‘thwarted’ and Carla fights back as Coronation Street spoilers confirm what happens next
Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) has sabotaged Carla Connor-Swain’s (Alison King) life at Underworld in Coronation Street – but is his victory really around the corner?
Earlier this week, Idris told Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to break into the factory. The sly businessman wants to buy Underworld from Carla, and had developed a plan that would hopefully leave her with no choice but to sell up.
Brody snuck into the building – unaware Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) was watching – and set the sprinklers off.
When Carla and Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) arrived, they were devastated to find all of the equipment and clothes completely drenched.
Carla believed that there was no way the factory could get back on track, making it seem as though Idris’ plot had worked.
What happens in Coronation Street today?
At Speed Daal, Leanne confronts Idris and Brody and reveals that she saw Brody breaking into the factory.
When Idris admits that he paid Brody to set off the sprinkler system, he’s surprised when Leanne agrees to keep quiet.
In the pub, Carla reveals to the workers that she’s got no choice but to shut the factory, and can only pay them one month’s worth of wages.
Later, Carla tells Lisa that because she failed to have the factory sprinkler system serviced, she doesn’t think the insurance company will pay out.
Carla’s been backed into a corner as a result of Idris’ meddling but, in tomorrow’s instalment, she realises just how many people are on her side.

At Speed Daal, Idris shows Leanne the factory floor plans and explains that once the money is through from the sale of the school land, then Underworld will be theirs.
Meanwhile, Carla is touched when Sean Tully (Antony Cotton), Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) and Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) arrive at the pub and tell her that they’ll do anything to help her get the factory back up and running.
Also, Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) reaches breaking point at work when he snaps at a woman suffering a coughing attack. When Lisa learns about Kit’s behaviour, she tells him that he needs to go on sick leave.
Elsewhere, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) invites her pals over for a girlie night, while Gemma Winter-Brown (Dolly-Rose Campbell) receives the results of her BRCA test.
