Coronation Street's Emma Brooker shares a big decision with Curtis Delamere next week after his health takes a turn for the worse.
Emma (Alexandra Mardell) worries for her boyfriend when he collapses and has to be rushed to hospital.
A few weeks ago, Curtis (Sam Retford) confided in Emma about how he has an incurable heart condition. He'd previously chosen to keep this private in the early stages of their relationship.
Curtis explained that he could have a "totally normal lifespan", but it's also possible that he won't have much time left. In the past, his heart has stopped on two separate occasions.

Once Curtis has regained consciousness, the doctor tells him that he should stay in overnight and undergo more tests.
