The moment of truth is here – Coronation Street’s David Platt and Nick Tilsley take to the stand next week as they face trial for stealing Audrey Robert’s life savings. But are they heading for prison?
David and Nick have spent the last few weeks desperately trying to avoid spending time at Her Majesty’s pleasure, but as the brothers continue to play dirty, the stress is all too much for Gail in the run up to their trial.
Next week sees the pressure of family life take its toll on Gail and she takes drastic action by vanishing into thin air.
But while everyone is panicking about where Gail has disappeared to, they’re also worried about the looming court case.

Sarah’s concerns for her mum grow when she fails to come home the following day and she eventually calls the police.
Audrey blames Nick and David for Gail’s vanishing act, but before anyone finds Gail, Nick and David’s day in court arrives.
With Gail missing it seems the brothers might have called a truce, and Nick even tells his brother that he will take full responsibility for Audrey’s missing money and promises to make a confession in court.
David even calls Imran and tells him that he was mistaken and that Nick wasn’t the one responsible for the factory roof collapse, leaving the solicitor fuming.
But when Leanne hears that Nick is changing his plea, she begs him to reconsider, telling him that she and Oliver would miss him too much if he went to jail.
With Leanne’s words ringing in his ears, Nick takes to the stand and goes back on his word to David by telling the court that he blames his brain injury for his actions, and even frames David as the mastermind behind the theft.
