There’s set to be sheer terror in Coronation Street next week, when Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) realises his son, Dorin Pop (Henry Meller), is missing.
Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) proves to be the housemate from hell for Tyrone when his baby sitting leaves a lot to be desired.
After Steve leaves No.1, unable to deal with the in-fighting and drama amid his divorce from Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), he’s heartened when Tyrone agrees he can move in to No.9 with new girlfriend Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney).
Keen to ingratiate himself further into his new home, Steve offers to babysit little Dorin.
Relaxation is but a fantasy for Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine), on the other hand.
After discovering that Hope Dobbs’ (Isabella Flanagan) cheeky snap of Tyrone’s builder’s bum also shows herself and secret lover Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), she pales when husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) asks to see the picture on the since-confiscated phone, currently in Tyrone’s possession.
The picture was taken on a day when Abi faked a migraine to skive work in order to spend time with Carl, Kevin’s brother, who she’s currently locked in a steamy affair with.
Thankfully, she successfully diverts Kevin by convincing Tyrone to return the phone to Hope if she deletes the incriminating photo.
However, when Hope announces that she’s still planning to upload the picture, Abi tells Carl to break into No.9 and take care of the problem.
Carl encounters a problem, though. When Steve wakes up, having fallen asleep in front of the TV, he finds that Dorin is nowhere to be seen.
A search party is launched with Steve, Tyrone, Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) and Kevin and the group is further panic-stricken when they find an old fridge left outside the property has been taken away, and a collective shiver runs down their spines at the thought that Dorin could’ve climbed in before it was taken…
