Corrie surprise for Stu Carpenter as Eliza's dad arrives
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street will air a big shock for Stu Carpenter next week, as he is forced to contend with the sudden arrival of his granddaughter Eliza Woodrow's father Dom.
Young Eliza has been living with Stu and his partner, Yasmeen Metcalfe, since November last year, when Stu was granted custody of her after her mum - Stu's daughter - Bridget was sent to prison for murder.
While things have been fairly smooth sailing for the family since Eliza moved in, they faced a difficult time this week when Stu and Yasmeen had to break the difficult news to Eliza that her mum had been moved to a different prison further away, meaning that Eliza will see her even less.

The plot continues next week, when Eliza lies to Yasmeen and Stu that she is going to holiday club for the day.
However, Stu soon finds out that there is no holiday club and he worries when he can't find his granddaughter anywhere.
Heading to the precinct to keep searching, he's shocked to find Eliza there talking to a strange man - who turns out to be her dad, Dom Everett (played by actor Darren Morfitt). Viewers saw Eliza on the phone to Dom in the closing moments of Friday's episode (August 4).
Later in the week, Eliza confides in her friend Sam Blakeman that she's worried that her mum might try to stop her from seeing her dad. Meanwhile, Stu calls Bridget at the prison and informs her that Eliza has been in contact with her dad.

Later in the week, with tensions high among the family, Stu apologises to Eliza for the way that he treated her dad, but Eliza is unforgiving.
Trouble ensues again when Stu and Yasmeen return home to find Eliza on the sofa facetiming her dad. Stu quickly loses his temper and a row breaks out.
Will Dom continue to be involved in Eliza's life, or will Stu keep trying to put distance between the father and daughter?

The latest development in Eliza's life isn't the only struggle that Stu has been facing lately, as he has also been experiencing concerns over Yasmeen's close friendship with Roy Cropper.
With Yasmeen and Roy bonding over their shared interests and pub quizzing prowess, Stu has been feeling increasingly insecure and left out of their dynamic.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
