Major Coronation Street spoilers follow from this week's episodes, which are available to watch now as a box set on the ITV Hub. Some readers may prefer to avoid these storyline details, as the episodes haven't yet aired on ITV.
Coronation Street has revealed Harvey Gaskell's fate on the ITV Hub.
All three of this week's hour-long episodes have been uploaded early on the Hub, giving viewers greater freedom over when to watch amid the Euro 2020 scheduling changes.
One of the big revelations in the latest set of episodes is the fate of drug dealer Harvey (Will Mellor), who has been terrorising Leanne Battersby and her loved ones for months.
Harvey stands trial thanks to Leanne (Jane Danson) bravely becoming a police informant earlier in the year. However, he has already warned her to change her evidence in court and cause the trial to collapse, unless she wants to face dire consequences from his gang.

What to Read Next
In Wednesday's episode, Leanne defies these threats and bravely gives evidence against Harvey in court.
Leanne details how her son Simon Barlow was lured into the world of drug dealing through his friendship with Jacob Hay.
She then reveals how Harvey entered the picture as the kingpin overseeing the whole operation.
Leanne recalls how she started doing drug deals for Harvey herself in order to take Simon's place and keep him safe.

The court hears how Leanne later realised she'd never escape from Harvey's grasp, so reported him to the police. She adds that Harvey then made death threats against her and her family for betraying him.
Harvey's aunt Sharon Bentley (Tracie Bennett) also gives evidence against him after finally being arrested and striking a deal with the police. This includes providing names and addresses for Harvey's gang.
Sharon confirms that everything Leanne said is true, as well as sharing details of how Harvey lures in vulnerable teenagers to do his dirty work.
Thanks to the evidence from both Leanne and Sharon, the jury returns a verdict of guilty.

Harvey is outraged by the news, especially as Sharon seems to have put the final nail in his coffin.
The judge overseeing the case then defers sentencing until a later date, leaving Harvey's ultimate fate uncertain. However, it's likely that he'll be sent down for several years.
Sharon can't resist a smug smile in Harvey's direction as she leaves the courtroom, while Leanne desperately hopes she won't face any repercussions for her decision.
Coronation Street airs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week on ITV. All episodes are available to watch now on the ITV Hub.
