Gemma Winter forced to make a drastic decision in Coronation Street
THE Rovers pub is in danger next week and Gemma Winter may be the only hope of saving it.
Next week, the Coronation Street favourite hatches a plan, making a decision that could cause trouble in her marriage.
Henry Newton (portrayed by returning actor George Banks) could be causing trouble for former girlfriend Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) next week on ITV.
With the Rovers under threat, the mother-of-five is approached by George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) next week as he suggests that given her history with Henry, she could use her womanly wiles to change his mind about buying the place.
But will the plan work?
Later on, Gemma arrives at a hotel expecting to work on a cider promotion.
Henry explains that there is no promotion and he just wanted some time alone with her.
Meanwhile, when George lets slip that Gemma is meeting Henry and going to try and work her magic on him, her husband Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) is angry to realise she lied to him and heads over to the hotel.
Back at home, Gemma then explains she was only trying to save the Rovers and is not interested in Henry – but is she telling the truth?
Gemma feels bad about the pub going up for sale when she feels she could put a stop to it all if Chesney would let her work with Henry.
Her mother Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) then calls at the kebab shop and tells Chesney that he needs to get over his dislike of Henry and prove to Gemma that he trusts her to work with him.
Gemma meets up with Henry in the precinct and tells him that if he promises to save the pub, she’ll accept his job offer and he’s delighted.
