The drama continued in Coronation Street as a terrible road accident resulted in the worst fears for the Platts: the body of Callum Logan (played by Sean Ward) is about to be discovered.

David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) his wife Kylie (Paula Lane) and sister Sarah-Louise (Tina Oโ€™Brien) are going to have to show nerves of steel to the Corrie residents now.

Meanwhile, Carla Tilsley, played by departing actress Alison King, sat in her wedding dress looking as forlorn as Charles Dickens character Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.

She married Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), but there was to be no happy ever after: he dumped Carla following the revelation that she had been unfaithful.

And Nickโ€™s mother Gail made it clear how she felt about it all by giving Carla a huge slap.

Cathy Matthews (Melanie Hill) proposed to fan favourite Roy Cropper (David Neilson), only to be knocked down by Carla moments later. Phew!

Viewers watching the events unfold could not help sharing their thoughts on Twitter.

Corrieโ€™s getting tense!

Someone saw the funny side

Donโ€™t mess with Gail
