Money woes have been haunting Ed Bailey for several weeks after he dived back into his gambling addiction.

Ed's demons had only been mentioned in his five years in the cobbles prior to the storyline, as they were what pushed his family to find a new home in Weatherfield.

The builder portrayed by Trevor Michael Georges has, as a result, considerably endangered his family when he decided to contact a loan shark.

Things went from bad to worse during the festive season as the thug took all of the Bailey family's Christmas presents away after a huge brawl with Ed.

To top it all off, Ed has been at odds with his son Michael (Ryan Russell) who has had enough of his troublesome behaviour.

However, in recent scenes aired on ITV, Michael was trapped in a blaze as the builder's yard mysteriously caught fire while Ed was absent.

Coming up next week, Weatherfield copper Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) tries to get to the bottom of things and takes Ed in for questioning.

When Michael asks Ed if he started the fire himself, he vehemently denies it.

But will he manage to convince Michael he is innocent?

In other scenes, Ed admits to DS Swain that he knocked over some white spirit by accident but he certainly didn’t start the fire.

When Ed and his daughter Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) return home, Michael accuses Ed of burning down the yard on purpose.

Michael goes a step further by explaining Ed could have set fire to his own business in an attempt to put an end to his money issues... by claiming insurance money.

Ed is devastated by his son’s hatred for him but is he really guilty?

Could the fire have been a simple accident?

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
