Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street villain Geoff Metcalfe finds a new way to torment his wife Yasmeen next week.
As the ITV soap's coercive control storyline continues, Geoff (Ian Bartholomew) turns his attentions to sabotaging Yasmeen's friendship with Cathy Matthews.
Viewers recently saw Geoff find a leaflet that Yasmeen (Shelley King) was given by the police, which offered advice over abusive relationships.
When Geoff reads through the examples of controlling behaviour listed in the leaflet, he decides to take a different approach so Yasmeen will be less likely to leave him.
