Coronation Street may have begun to have slightly more light-hearted storylines recently - and things are definitely set to get funnier now that Norris Cole is returning - but there's one rather dramatic upcoming plot that is guaranteed to shock viewers.
And long-time Corrie fans won't be hugely surprised to hear that it's going to be at the hands of Tracy Barlow. Apparently, her 14-year-old daughter Amy McDonald - fathered by Steve McDonald - is set to fall PREGNANT.
Obviously, Tracy isn't over the moon about her daughter's situation, and reports are now suggested that she'll go on a murderous rampage to KILL her daughter's baby daddy.
According to The Sun, Tracy - played by Kate Ford - will threaten to kill the mystery man, making a dark comment about taking his life after discovering her daughter is pregnant and forcing Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney, into having an abortion.
After a rather furious reaction from her parents, Amy will apparently run to the arms of her grandmother, Liz McDonald, for advice.
