Coronation Street fans can expect plenty of drama next week as Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) finds a disgusting video of herself circulating online.
A stressed Maria bites Max Turner’s (Paddy Bever) head off in the barbers as she worries about the video, while coming under fire from her neighbours over their unemptied bins.
When Liam Connor gets into a fight at school it becomes clear there’s now another viral video doing the rounds where Maria’s head has been placed on a naked woman to make it look like she’s in a porn film.

Gary Windass' raging as a devastated Maria’s shaken by how convincing the deep-fake video is.
Maria reckons the police need informing about the threats she’s receiving.
Despite Gary’s misgivings, Maria refuses to hide away and hosts a press conference.
As she’s heckled by Jimmy, the refuse team leader, Gary decides that he’s behind the online alias making threats and aggressively pins him against the wall.
Maria decides that being on the council isn’t worth all the strife it’s putting their family through.
Sally Metcalfe's (Sally Dynevor) shocked to hear that Maria’s withdrawing from local politics and, explaining that she’s been in her position, implores her not to be beaten in her quest to make a difference. Will Maria be swayed?
Later in the week, Maria's son Liam has a Star Trek themed birthday party at the bistro.
Gary pulls him, Maria, Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) and Jake Windass in for a family selfie but the happy moment is short-lived when Maria orders him not to share it online for fear of another backlash.
Maria’s upset that she chose to censor herself by not sharing the family selfie and tells Gary that her trolls are winning by making her scared.
Also, trying to distract herself from her troubles and Leanne Battersby's (Jane Danson) lack of faith in her , Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) mounts a protest against waste incineration.
Leanne refuses to back off and insists she wants to help.
