Coronation Street has revealed a first look at the moment that Steve McDonald discovers Emma Brooker's connection to Fiona Middleton.
The show has finally confirmed the long-running fan theory that Emma is the daughter of Fiona, who now lives away in Australia.
A new spoiler clip from tonight's Coronation Street double bill (August 14) now sees Steve finally put in the picture when he catches up with Emma at the café.
A grieving Emma (Alexandra Mardell) confides in Steve about the sad death of her father, who has just passed away in hospital.
