Coronation Street hints at Yasmeen’s trial outcome with Geoff’s evidence decision

Geoff abused Yasmeen for months

Coronation Street has hinted Yasmeen’s case could be thrown out of court, if Geoff chooses not to give evidence.

Currently Yasmeen is waiting for her trial, as she pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder of her abusive husband Geoff. But will we even see a trial?

In Monday night’s episode of Corrie (Monday, July 13) Geoff told his wife that he would withdraw his statement if she came back to him.

However the police pointed out to Geoff that it’s down to the Crown Prosecution Service whether they continue with the case.

Imran later paid his client Yasmeen a visit in prison. He told her that Geoff refusing to give evidence could result in there being no case and the trial not going ahead.

Later in prison, Yasmeen’s friend Lucie hands her a contraband phone and urges her to call Geoff and show him who’s boss. However Yasmeen admits she’s scared.

But she calls Geoff, who is shocked to hear from her.

Geoff promises his wife that when she comes home things will be different and he will seek professional help. But Yasmeen ends the call unsure what to believe.
