In next week’s episodes, Johnny gets even more of a scare when a visit to the GP doesn’t go quite to plan.

Johnny heads off to the doctor, accompanied by a concerned Kate. The pair hope the doctor will brush Johnny’s recent wobbles off.

But they are left shell-shocked when the GP decides to refer Johnny for further tests, admitting that she wants to rule out Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinsons.

Johnny is left visibly shocked, after admitting he has suffered from periods of numbness in the recent past.

The Connor family patriarch has been increasingly unsteady on his feet in recent weeks and even struggled to read his own wedding invitations at one point.

He also appeared to have one too many drinks, stumbling out of the Rovers, even thought he’d just been drinking coke.

Fans are speculating that this could be the beginning of the end for Johnny, who is due to marry factory worker Jenny Bradley.

They believe that Johnny could die, leaving Jenny as the head of Underworld, putting Aidan’s nose firmly out of joint.

A source told The Mirror: “Johnny does not seem to be in great shape and Kate will eventually force him to go for some health tests and things come to a head.

“Coronation Street have been very good at raising awareness on health issues in recent times.

“This looks like another opportunity as Johnny is tested for things like MS and Parkinson’s.”
