This week on Coronation Street is packed with intensity as it presents a series of emotionally charged episodes, revolving around the aftermath of Kit Green’s (portrayed by Jacob Roberts) disturbing secrets being unveiled and the potentially startling ramifications for those in his vicinity.

In a situation where secrets are exposed and emotions run high, Colson Smith’s character, Craig Tinker, unwittingly finds himself in danger at a particularly perilous moment, facing potentially fatal consequences.

Will he pull through his dreadful injuries? And where has Lou disappeared to?

Here are your six must-read Coronation Street spoilers for 19th–23rd May 2025.

1. Craig’s placement ends in horror

Craig is eager to start working alongside Kit during his CID placement and arrives at work brimming with energy. However, despite his anticipation, Kit largely disregards him throughout the day, making Craig feel disheartened. Spurred on by Lisa’s encouragement to show his worth, the aspiring detective takes a chance and handles a disturbance call independently – but it results in an unfortunate turn of events.

In Weatherfield, everyone is left shocked when Craig is discovered, covered in blood, with Lisa gasping at the severity of his wounds. He’s urgently taken to critical care, where doctors disclose that he has brain swelling. For a moment, Craig stirs and attempts to recount the events, but his health soon takes a turn for the worse. With his life hanging by a thread, we wonder if Craig will survive, and if so, whether he can share the truth about what transpired.

2. Kit provokes Mick — with terrifying consequences

In a fresh turn of events, Kit and Mick get into another heated argument, and the officer astonishes everyone by implying that Lou may not be as faithful as Mick thinks. This revelation sets Mick off, leading to a confrontation with Lou, who unfortunately sustains a head injury in the process. As time passes and Lou becomes unreachable, Sean and Gemma become increasingly worried. Eventually, Sean decides to alter his police statement, disclosing that it was actually Mick who attacked him and left him severely injured.

As Mick spirals, he accuses Kit of everything and ends all communication, promising to handle things personally. Simultaneously, Lou readies her escape from Weatherfield with her daughters, following suspicions by the nurse that her head injury is due to an abusive relationship. However, Mick has anticipated this move. Feeling that Kit has destroyed his life, Mick plans to entice him into a trap…

3. Mick uses Bernie as bait

Mick’s hatred towards Kit escalates further when he abducts Bernie and employs her as a bargaining chip. In a desolate area, he keeps her captive, threatening that Kit should appear unaccompanied. Terrified for her own safety, Bernie makes an impassioned appeal and confides that she had attempted to reach out to Kit years ago, but his mother had forbidden it.

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but wonder: Will Kit find it within himself, after so many years, to forgive his mother and save her life? Or, will Mick resort to extreme measures, provoking Kit into action?

4. The police launch a search for Lou

Despite Tim taking care of Shanice and Joanie, concerns are rising about where Lou might be. Last spotted running away from A&E after a nurse suspected domestic abuse, Lou seems to have completely disappeared. As the police start their investigation, the sense of urgency increases as they race against time to find her before Mick becomes even more unstable. Where could she possibly be?

5. The community comes together to support Craig

In light of Craig’s severe condition, Lisa nervously waits for updates from the hospital after a call from Jess. Simultaneously, Tim, Sally, Gemma, and Chesney rally to comfort one another in the wake of the distressing event. Additionally, Kirk shares the news about Craig with Beth. As the town grapples with the aftermath of the attack on Craig, they need to unite and support each other through this challenging time.

6. Lisa and Carla search for happiness

Over the past tumultuous week filled with high emotion, I’ve found myself yearning for joy amidst the turmoil. After my recent experiences on the Cobbles, I’m resolute about finding happiness wherever it may lie. However, amidst all this turmoil swirling around me, I can’t help but wonder if that dream is even reachable. And as for what plans I might have in store, only time will tell.
