NICK Tilsley is in a business conundrum over the Bistro with Debbie Webster.
However, more trouble is on its way to him when Coronation Street criminal Harvey Gaskell comes up with a plan for revenge.
Sam Blakeman has had questions for Harvey Gaskell
Nick Tilsley finally allows him to pay the criminal a visit
But is it a good idea?
The evil thug portrayed by returning soap star Will Mellor was thrown in prison following the murder of Natasha Blakeman.
Since then, Natasha’s son Sam (Jude Riordan) has been looking for answers about his mother’s death, pleading with his father to let him speak with Harvey.
Next week on ITV, Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) accepts after realising it could be a form of closure for the young boy.
Nick and Sam meet up with Karis, the facilitator, and all three of them head into the prison.

While in the visiting room, Sam’s interrogations begin and Harvey concedes that he had actually meant to kill Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson).
Fans of the Manchester-based program will remember Harvey mistook Natasha for Leanne as he was trying to make her pay for reporting him to the authorities after he’d embroiled Simon Barlow in his schemes.
Harvey then drops a bombshell, telling Sam he had also lost his mother at an early age.
The lad then reckons the death of his mother must have caused him to go off the rails.
Sam pushes Harvey’s buttons even further with a series of awkward questions about his mother and the murderer strides out.
Later on in his prison cell, Harvey is rattled by Sam’s visit.
He picks up the child’s most recent letter and sets about reading his questions.
But was Nick right to allow the visit?
In later scenes, Nick takes a call from Karis telling him that Harvey wants Sam to pay him another visit the following day.
As one of the most ruthless villains in the cobbles, could Harvey be planning something against Nick and his family?
The thought definitely crosses Nick’s mind, as hinted by the actor who portrays him, Ben Price.
“He thinks Harvey’s thought of a plan to get at Sam”, Ben said.
“He’s more suspicious about why he’s called him back.”
Harvey has a surprise for Nick and Sam but it could have dreadful consequences.
“I think Nick naively imagines that one Harvey will never get out of prison and two he genuinely feels bad about what happened to Sam”, Ben added.
