Pick of the Plots: Wednesday January 11th

SoapWorld takes a look at the latest goings on in Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors this Wednesday.

At the hospital, Michelle is upset as she explains to a visiting Steve that her waters have broken, but it’s far too early. The doctor gently breaks the news to the couple that their baby is insufficiently developed and won’t make it. Meanwhile, a deeply upset Liz shares the news with Leanne. Soon afterwards, Michelle gives birth to a baby boy and she and Steve are distraught as they cradle their dead son.

Peter relays Eva’s threat to tell Leanne about them to Toyah who insists he abort his claim on the factory, as they’d never forgive themselves if Leanne lost her baby through stress. Reluctantly, Peter agrees and talks to Aidan – but how will Adam take Peter’s U-turn?

Elsewhere, Zeedan calls on Alya when bailiffs show up at the gym but she refuses to help; Andy awaits delivery of Kevin’s new pick up truck on an industrial estate – will he go through with the theft?

Later, Lachlan is presented with a way to get out of jail but will he pursue it? Meanwhile, Ronnie is horrified when he finds out that Lawrence was in on framing Andy from the start. Ronnie storms out, leaving Lawrence upset. 

Sick of Finn wallowing, Tracy takes him for a haircut at the salon where the arrival of a bronzed Adonis, Nathan, causes Kerry’s jaw to drop but will he catch Finn’s eye? Elsewhere, Charity plays hardball with Leyla over a hen do at the pub; Frank hopes he can start again with Vanessa.
