Stu Carpenter in danger as Dom discovers windfall cash in Coronation Street
DOM rocked up the cobbles in the hopes of bonding with his long-lost daughter Eliza Woodrow.
But next week, the Coronation Street newcomer makes a discovery that could put Stu Carpenter in danger.
Money talks in the cobbles and, sometimes, it can be deadly – but will it be the case for beloved Speed Daal chef Stu Carpenter (played by Bill Fellows)?
The former homeless man took in his granddaughter Eliza (Savannah Kunyo) after her mother Bridget was sent to prison for the murder of Charlie Walters.
ITV viewers became fearful the young girl could be embroiled in grooming horror when she was then seen talking to an older man on her phone.
But in a surprising twist, this man was revealed to be her estranged father Dom (Darren Morfitt) and the new character has been trying to be a part of her life ever since.
However, Stu is far from happy about Dom’s budding relationship with Eliza and is more concerned about keeping her safe and close to home.
Coming up next week, Yasmeen (Shelley King), Stu’s primary source of support throughout the ordeal, tells him that her grandson Zeedan Nazir (Qasim Akhtar) is planning to take her to Pakistan for her 70th birthday, which she’s due to celebrate on September 16.
However, she insists she doesn’t like to leave Stu while he is so stressed about the situation with Dom and Eliza.
Stu reassures her and maintains she must go as it could be the trip of a lifetime for her.
This allows him to focus on his impending battle for Eliza as Dom later calls at the solicitors and suggests to Stu and Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) they drop the legal proceedings and come to an agreement.
Stu refuses and tells Dom that he’ll see him in court.
Despite growing tensions, Dom decides to show Stu his intentions are pure.

In later scenes airing next week, Dom assures Stu that he only wants what’s best for Eliza and a chance to get to know his little girl and be a better father.
But it soon becomes clear there’s more to Dom than meets the eye.
Stu and Eliza later meet him in the precinct and Dom suggests ice cream before making out he’s forgotten his wallet.
Eliza quickly assures him that Stu will pay because he’s wealthy… and Dom’s ears prick up.
Could Eliza’s innocent words bring trouble to her grandfather?
What will Dom do?
