Lou Michaelis might be new to Coronation Street, but she’s already making waves and not the kind you’d expect in a hair salon. The drama becomes wilder next week as Lou bursts into Audrey‘s on the heels of a daring claim: she is a veteran hair stylist with years of experience. Keep reading to know more!
Trouble Brews At Audrey’s As Lou Turns On Maria
Lou’s dramatic foray into the job market does not happen alone—Gemma Winter, who not so long ago kept a distance from Lou, speaks for her to Audrey Roberts. One of the Coronation Street insiders said that the duo now seem inseparable after an initial shaky start.
The source explained that Lou had gained Gemma’s approval mainly because she had volunteered to assist with the children, paving the way for Chesney to take a short-term work posting in London with Dev. Time will tell whether the bond holds strong when subjected to stress, but they have become a tight-knit team.
Athena is enchanted by Lou’s charisma and reinforced by Gemma’s endorsement, and consents to letting her have her chance on the salon floor. Things, however, spiral out of control. Asha Alahan soon arrives at No.5 with frightening information, and Gemma returns to Athena’s—just to find that Lou and Maria Connor are locked in an enraged argument.
The drama unfolds when Lou throws a pot of hair dye directly at Maria. The source said Gemma is left speechless after the tirade, while Maria is totally incensed and immediately fires Lou.
Coronation Street: Behind Lou’s Rage Lies a Painful Truth
Having been ejected from the salon, Lou doesn’t quietly disappear. Gemma accompanies her outside, obviously disturbed by the violent behavior she’s just experienced. It is here that Lou finally has her guard down. She tells Gemma about her son, who’s never far from her mind, and how very worried she is about him.
While Lou doesn’t reveal the whole story, it’s obvious that her son’s absence weighs her down. The motives for her concern are unknown, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to conceal how it’s affected her emotionally.
Back in the salon, the drama has yet to settle. Audrey tells Maria that, amidst the chaos, she’s ready to give Lou another chance. She notes that Lou’s return has already ushered in a flood of new clients—something Audrey views as business-friendly. However, Maria is far from persuaded and is left to wonder if her quiet routine will soon be disrupted.
Lou might have come into the Street with secrets, but Weatherfield has a way of bringing everything to the surface. Only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal these secrets. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
