Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellows) finds himself on the wrong side of the law in upcoming Coronation Street episodes – when he hits a police officer in the face.
Stu has been under a lot of stress recently, mainly concerning his granddaughter Eliza (Savannah Kunyo) who has recently reconnected with her father Dom (Darren Morfitt). Dom keeps letting Eliza down and Stu is convinced he doesn’t have Eliza’s interests at heart.
This situation comes to a boiling point in upcoming episodes when Dom once again fails to turn up when he’s arranged to see his daughter. When Eliza is unimpressed by an alternative idea of going with Stu to see her mum in prison, Stu gets angry and says that Dom can’t care about her much as he keeps letting her down.

Eliza dashes across the road upset and is knocked down by a car. Fortunately she isn’t badly hurt, but it gives Dom the chance to turn up with a huge teddy for her as he tries to get back into her good books. Later, Eliza announces that she wants to go and live with her dad, leaving Stu feeling incredibly hurt and disappointed.
Sadly, things are set to get worse for Stu in the wake of this. The next day he gets a call from Eliza’s school to let him know she hasn’t turned up. Frantic, Stu goes to Dom’s house and finds Eliza there. She explains that she ran away because she’s now living with Dom.
Stu contacts social services, as he’s the legal guardian of Eliza and wants their support in the situation. But when a social worker arrives accompanied by a police officer and Stu is advised that it might be best if Eliza stays with Dom for the time being, Stu is furious.
As the police officer tries to usher him away he lashes out, accidentally hitting the officer in the face. Dom watches on smugly as Stu is arrested for assault.
Will Stu end up behind bars for what he’s done? And will he and Eliza ever repair their relationship?
