Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street's big week for Emma Brooker continues tonight (December 16) with a rare Thursday episode.
The long-running soap is airing every weeknight this week as part of a special ITV schedule, which coincides with new singing show Walk the Line.
In this evening's visit to the cobbles, it's a make-or-break moment for Emma's engagement to Curtis Delamere (Sam Retford) after she uncovered his lies.
When Emma (Alexandra Mardell) realised that Curtis wasn't being honest about his "heart medication", she begged his father Neville to tell her what was really going on. She then returned home and told Curtis that she knows he isn't terminally ill.
As the drama continues tonight, Emma makes it clear that Curtis has one last chance to tell her the truth, or they're over.

Curtis explains that he first started lying when his parents were getting divorced, hoping that it would bring them closer again.
Curtis then found himself enjoying the attention and couldn't stop. However, he's now telling the truth for the first time because he loves Emma and doesn't want to lose her.
Emma initially decides that she'll never be able to trust Curtis again, especially when he accepts that his medical training was all a lie too.

The unlucky-in-love barmaid orders Curtis to pack his bags, before seeking out her father Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) in hope of a heart-to-heart.
Before Emma gets a chance to open up to her dad about Curtis's Factitious Disorder, Steve explains about the £4,000 that Curtis raised for charity.
This has led to Oliver's fund finally reaching the intended £100,000 target.
Emma is thoughtful as Steve sings Curtis's praises, pointing out what a kind and generous person he is. Could this be enough to make Emma change her mind about dumping him?
Coronation Street airs tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
