Coronation Street's Ed Bailey is set to face even more gambling temptation after his Christmas confession in upcoming scenes of the long-running soap.

With Ed's secret addiction to gambling exposed to his family over the festive period, he teams up with returning villain Damon Hay in an unexpected alliance going into 2024.

Despite Damon's villainous past, he's completely oblivious to the temptation he's literally handed to Ed after his gambling relapse, which saw the Baileys lose many of their Christmas presents.

Dee-Dee Bailey informs Damon that her father is a gambling addict, and cannot be subjected to any undue stress while working for him.

Damon immediately begins to panic, thinking of the large wad of cash he has placed in Ed's hands. Will the Bailey patriarch be able to resist temptation?
