Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew) manipulates the situation to his advantage in Coronation Street, as he informs DS Abney (Fiona Skinner) that he wishes to drop the charges against Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King).
Geoff has been playing the victim for several months, as poor Yasmeen is locked away behind bars.
However, with Sally (Sally Dynevor) refusing to believe that her father-in-law is as innocent as he claims to be, she’s been investigating heavily in an effort to get to the bottom of what’s going on.
In episodes which will be broadcast this week, Sally pays Yasmeen a visit in prison, and learns of of the horror she endured at the hands of abuser Geoff.
She soon reveals her visit to Geoff, who grows incredibly angry, and — fearing he’s losing control of the situation — he attempts to visit Yasmeen for himself, before stealing Alya’s (Sair Khan) phone and hijacking the phonecall she had planned with her gran.
However, his manipulation gets much worse, as Coronation Street has revealed that Geoff visits DS Abney and reveals that he’d like to retract his statement and drop the charges against Yasmeen.
His motives for doing so ultimately puzzle his nearest and dearest — as well as Alya and Ryan (Ryan Preston).
Meanwhile, Yasmeen is given a phone in prison, and Geoff somehow acquires the number of said device, and rings her in a bid to manipulate once more.

The question is: will he succeed?
Or will Yasmeen — and DS Abney — see what Geoff is trying to do?
Coronation Street continues Monday 6 July at 7:30pm on ITV.
