Coronation Street SPOILERS: Sinead is laid to rest

Her family and friends say their goodbyes

There’s not a dry eye on Coronation Street next week as Sinead Tinker’s funeral finally arrives… but there’s yet more devastation waiting around the corner for her grieving widow Daniel Osbourne.

Ever since Sinead’s untimely demise after she lost her battle with cancer, her friends and family have been planning a farewell that she would have wanted.

But Sinead’s husband Daniel has been struggling since losing her last month, and after he fled Weatherfield shortly after her death, it seemed unlikely that he would make it back for her funeral.

At the church Daniel makes a moving speech about his late wife, and the service is just as Sinead would have liked.

But while her loved ones are at the wake in the Rovers, little do they know there is drama unfolding at Daniel’s flat.

While at the wake, Daniel tells Peter that he wants to head home alone and watch the videos that Sinead made for him and Bertie before she died.

But he’s in for a shock, because while he was saying his final goodbyes to the love of his life, someone has broken into his flat and rifled through all this belongings… including the laptop with Sinead’s messages on it.

As Daniel lets himself into the flat, he is horrified to find it has been trashed, with Sinead’s belongings everywhere.

He calls Peter to come and help, but Peter is adamant that Daniel shouldn’t have to deal with the trauma and asks Carla to take him back to Ken’s while he calls the police.

Peter is heartbroken for Daniel when he realises the thief took the laptop and breaks the news to Carla… but how is Daniel going to react when he finds out what is missing?

Daniel is understandably devastated when he finds out the messages from Sinead are gone, and decides to take matters into his own hands by trawling around pawn shops to try and track down his computer.

As the police arrive to arrest Daniel, Craig begs the shop keeper to drop the charges, explaining that Daniel is in a bad place… but will it work?
