The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Coronation Street dated November 3. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.

Carla Connor-Swain (Alison King) has made a devastating announcement in Coronation Street.

Last week, after making it clear that he was interested in buying Underworld, Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) attempted to sabotage a meeting that Carla and Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) were having.

Idris told businessman Philip that Carla’s not to be trusted. As a result of the meddling, Philip backed out of the deal, leaving Underworld hanging by a thread.

In today’s episode, Carla realised that she wouldn’t be able to give her staff a Christmas bonus this year. As she told Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) about the factory’s money troubles, she failed to spot Idris listening into the conversation.

Sensing that his plan was about to become a success, Idris told Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to sneak into the factory and set off the sprinkler system.

Moments later, Carla and Lisa rushed across the road to find water pouring from the factory doors.

Inside, an absolutely broken Carla surveyed the mess before her. All of the equipment was drenched, the clothes were ruined, and there was nothing she could do to save Underworld.

Is Carla going to have no choice but to sell to Idris?

At the moment, Brody doesn’t know that Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) saw him sneaking into the factory.

If it becomes clear that Idris’ tactics are the reason Carla is saying goodbye to her business, will Leanne expose her boyfriend?

Over the past few weeks, Idris has made it known that he is determined to take over the businesses in Weatherfield.

His most recent victim was his own cousin, Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) who he manipulated into handing him majority share control of Speed Daal by dropping a huge bombshell – he is actually her uncle!

Then he destroyed the reputation of the Bistro with a bunch of fake reviews, just so he could try and buy the business from Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) at the lowest possible price.
