7 Coronation Street spoilers next week: Tracy catches out cheating Abi and Carl and Debbie collapses Kit causes trouble, Dee-Dee finds romance, Brody is up to no good and an exit is sealed. ITV Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) finds himself in hot water next week after interfering in girlfriend Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) business deal - but more intriguing is what he finds out about the mysterious Becky Swain. Abi Webster's (Sally Carman-Duttine) affair is rumbled by Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), while Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) has a medical emergency. Also, there's romance for Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), but is the conflict of interest too great? Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) is up to no good, but there's another troubling situation unfolding for his family. Elsewhere, Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) are caught in the act, and Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) confirms his departure from the cobbles. Abi is annoyed to see lover Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) flirting with Tracy as he lets slip his room number at the Chariot Square hotel. Carl tells Abi the exchange was simply a cover, and he suggests they meet at his hotel. But when Carl assumes it's Abi in the shower, only for Tracy to appear, Carl turns her down. After sharing a tender moment with husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), Abi hears from Carl that he turned Tracy down. Oblivious Debbie encourages Tracy to try again with Carl and offers to pay for drinks, and Carl meets Abi, telling her that while she's still having sex with Kevin, he's free to have sex with Tracy if he wants. Tracy guesses Carl's secret. ITV Later, as Abi is reluctantly packing for Mallorca, she tells Kev she can't find her passport and tells him to go ahead and she'll join him once it's all sorted. At the hotel, Carl tells Tracy he's in love with someone else. Tracy guesses it's Abi, and whatever he says next, it's not long before her suspicions are confirmed as Tracy is puzzled to see Abi in the shop, after the latter's secret night of passion with Carl. After an eventful day, Carl and Abi share a hug at the house which turns into a kiss, and a devious Tracy watches through the window. What will Tracy do with this information? 2. Debbie Webster rushed to hospital after sudden collapse Debbie Webster in Coronation Street. ITV Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) watches Debbie working at the hotel and worries she's pushing herself too hard. But when Ronnie gets Ryan to come in on his day off, Debbie is not happy with her fiancé's interference. The following day, Debbie lets herself into the Webster house to do some cleaning, just as Abi is out. But Debbie gets dizzy and collapses on the floor, with a hiding Carl emerging to check on her. Abi returns and calls an ambulance while Carl heads back upstairs out of sight. At the hospital, Debbie assures Ronnie and Carl she's been given the all clear. When Debbie tells Carl she's sorry he had to come home early from Wales, he masks his guilt. But while Carl covers up his affair, will Debbie agree to slow down as she learns to live with her dementia diagnosis? Anyone affected by Debbie's storyline can visit Dementia UK or call its helpline on 0800 888 6678. 3. Kit Green reveals suspicions over Becky Swain case amid his own harassment accusation Kit's arrival ruins the pitch. ITV Sarah has a disastrous day when she steps in to take an Underworld meeting, only for the client, Eli, to have just endured a stop and search from none other than Kit, after Eli's car was parked illegally. When Kit arrives and Eli realises he's Sarah's boyfriend, he tries to leave, but Sarah pushes Kit away and locks Eli in the office to listen to her pitch. Sarah refuses to back down. ITV Carla Connor (Alison King) later tells Sarah that Eli has been spreading rumours that she's a sexual predator, and Carla gives her a hard time as customers demand the same discount they've had to give Eli. Sarah is fuming with Kit for threatening Eli, and angry with David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) for giving Eli Kit's details. DI Costello leaves Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) shocked with a warning to keep things professional with Kit, as he'd hate her to be dragged down with him. Meanwhile, Costello interviews Kit about Eli's claims of intimidation, but says he's putting him on desk duty and will claim it's due to Kit's injuries to avoid a formal inquiry. Kit is in hot water. ITV Later, Kit confides in Sarah that he was investigating a case that he realised was linked to a historic case Lisa's late wife Becky was working on - but when he requested the files, Costello told him to leave it alone. Kit has been working on it in secret, and Lisa is oblivious as she ends up in another bin war with new next-door neighbour David, before taking issue with David the Dog's barking! What else will Kit uncover? 4. Dee-Dee Bailey shares surprise kiss with new client Ollie Dee-Dee throws caution to the wind. ITV After a meeting with new client Ollie, who she met before their professional dealings, Dee-Dee tells Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) that she really likes him, but is worried about the conflict of interest. As the week continues, Ollie and Dee-Dee admit they like each other, but agree it would be unethical for her to get involved with a client. Even so, Ollie leans in for a kiss, and Dee-Dee can't help kissing him back. Will Dee-Dee pursue a new relationship? ITV Dee-Dee tells Ollie she wants to take things slowly, but later confides in James Bailey (Jason Callender) that as much as she likes Ollie, she's going to keep things professional as she's wary of getting her heart broken again. When Ollie bumps into Dee-Dee with baby Laila in her pram, Dee-Dee explains she's her daughter. As she suggests going for a drink so she can explain, how will Ollie react? Will he and Dee-Dee make a go of it? 5. Brody Michaelis caught in dodgy scheme amid shock incident at the Metcalfes There's news for the Michaelis children. ITV Carl walks in on Brody about to steal an expensive car at the garage, and warns the teen he'll end up back in the STC. With that, Carl offers to show Brody an easier way to steal motors, but we can't see this panning out well! Brody's recent failed plan to run away with his younger sisters Joanie (Savanna Pennington) and Shanice Michaelis (Molly Kilduff) is soon exposed to foster carers Tim (Joe Duttine) and Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor). Tim urges Brody to trust that social services will know what's best for all three of them, and Brody later has to tell the girls that their mum Lou (Farrel Hegarty) has been sentenced to four years in prison. Sally tries to comfort them, but at that moment, a social worker arrives with a psychologist. They explain they are happy for the family to stay together, but a scream is then heard from the garden.

Regularly getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to ensuring we enjoy good mental health.When we don’t get good sleep, it can contribute to various problems, including depression and anxiety. But it can sometimes feel hard to achieve amid the pressures of daily life. To help, we have come up with these top ten tips on how to get a good night’s sleep. 1. Tech-free bedtimeThe bedroom should be somewhere that we associate with sleep. Where possible, you should try to remove distractions from your bedroom. It is better to watch TV, check social media and eat in another room. This will allow you to relax with no distractions in your bedroom. Be mindful of the presence of gadgets and electronics, such as computers, phones, tablets and TVs. The backlit 'blue light' displays suppress melatonin production – the hormone that helps you sleep; the suppression of melatonin causes sleep disruption. You should stop using these devices two hours before you go to sleep to reduce their impact on your sleeping. 2. Prioritise managing physical symptomsAnyone who has tried to get to sleep with a blocked nose or headache knows that physical health problems can stop you from getting a good night's sleep. It can be easy to forget minor symptoms, but you will thank yourself when night falls if you prioritise speaking to a pharmacist about appropriate medication for symptom management. 3. Light, sound and temperatureIt may sound common sense, but too much light and background noise can prevent you from falling asleep or staying asleep. Eye masks or earplugs are wonderful investments for light and noise sources that you can’t control. Temperature is also important, and if you share a bed with a partner with different temperature preferences, consider separate blankets or other solutions that compromise less sleep. 4. Dealing with worryThinking about sleeping too much or forcing yourself to sleep will only keep you awake. Learning how to relax your body and mind instead will help you get to sleep much more easily. Progressive relaxation techniques can help you to relax and unwind at these times. 5. Foods that help and hinderEating rice, oats and dairy products can produce chemicals that increase our desire to sleep. As well as the obvious caffeine, in terms of food and drink to avoid, things high in sugar can keep you awake if consumed late in the day. A big meal after mid-evening can also stop you from sleeping. 6. Alcohol alertAlthough it can make you feel tired and can help you get to sleep, alcohol often impairs the quality of your sleep and makes you more likely to wake up during the night as the effects wear off, and you may need to go to the toilet frequently or wake up dehydrated to drink water. 7. Time your exerciseExercising regularly can help us sleep, helping to reduce anxiety and relieve stress. Exercising earlier in the day is better, as exercise increases the body’s adrenaline production, making it more difficult to sleep if done just before bedtime. 8. No napping!If you have trouble sleeping, you may be tempted to catch up on sleep by napping. However, unless you’re feeling dangerously sleepy (while driving or operating machinery, for instance), this usually does more harm than good as it makes it more difficult to sleep at night. If you feel tired during the day, get up and walk around, get some fresh air, or do something challenging for a short while, like a crossword or sudoku. 9. If you’re not tired, get upIf you’re finding it difficult to get to sleep, don't just lie there worrying. Get up for a while and drink (no sugar or caffeine, remember!). Try reading for a little while and go back to bed when you feel a bit sleepier. 10. Keep a sleep diaryKeeping a sleep diary to note the conditions when you went to bed the night before can be useful for letting you look back and see what has and what hasn’t worked for you. It also helps you to see how your sleep varies from night to night and might help you note sleep patterns. View full article

News is everywhere. In the digital age, it is no longer possible to control the news we are exposed to or shield children from upsetting information. What you can do is help to minimise the negative impact it has on your children. You can do this through open and honest conversations at home, using the tips below: A news blackout is rarely helpful The important thing here is balance. Force-feeding children news or going to great lengths to shield them from it can be unhelpful. Avoid turning the television off or closing web pages when they come into the room. This can pique their interest to find out what’s really going on – and that is when their imagination can take over. Children are very likely to get a sense of the uncertainty or fear around what's going on, even if they’re not old enough to understand or hear about exactly what’s happening. Be careful that they don’t overhear conversations about your fears. Children pick up more than we realise and may misinterpret or keep their feelings hidden from us. Let them know the facts Children may feel overwhelmed by things they’ve heard on the news, on social media or from their friends. If they are given clear and honest explanations of what is happening and know that it is okay to talk about scary or tricky subjects, it can give them the confidence to ask about them. Encourage your children to come to you with questions about what's happening. If you don’t have the answers, be honest. Try reading or watching reputable news sources together that you have already looked at or share the news at the moment by explaining what is happening verbally in an unbiased way. Give them practical tips on looking after themselves and others, explaining the importance of open communication, healthy relationships, and ways to cope with stress. It’s also a good opportunity to talk about the benefits of kindness. Discourage overexposure Small doses of real-life news are really helpful. Large doses can have a negative effect as children can become fixated on a news story and repeatedly look at news coverage relating to it. To avoid overexposure, encourage them to discuss the news story with you once they have read about it. This provides a safe space for all of their questions. Let your children know they are safe All children, even teenagers, want to know their parents can keep them safe. The best way to communicate safety is by talking about worrying news with open, confident, clear and truthful facts. Go through all the reasons that mean they are in a safe place rather than well-meaningly dismissing their feelings by telling them everything is fine. Reassure them that you will look after them and do your best to keep them safe. They may be worried about who will look after you if something happens, so tell them about the support you have in place. Let them know that it is normal to be concerned Try telling them that you also find events like this worrying. Let them know that you can balance these worries with the reality of them coming true. You would want them to leave this conversation realising that although bad things can happen, they don’t happen very often, so they do not need to be scared all the time. Explain to your child what it means to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is not weakness. It's a natural response to experiencing uncertainty and risk and being emotionally exposed. You may feel vulnerable as a parent or carer in this conversation with your child. Try to acknowledge this and offer them lots of time for discussion and support from you. You can also use this as an opportunity to teach children to grow into responsible citizens. Abiding by restrictions and laws means understanding that there is something bigger than individuals and that we should protect each other. Tailor the conversation to their age All children have different temperaments and sensitivities. Their ability to understand the world and take in and react to bad news will depend on their age. If you have more than one child, you might want to talk about the news with them individually and tailor what you say to their needs and level. Find the right time to talk about it It may be that your child starts asking questions about a news event at an inconvenient time. In this case, let them know you have heard them and think what they are asking is important. Tell them that you would like to talk with them about it later and invite them to remind you, so they know you really are interested. Leave lots of space for questions It's common for children to have misunderstandings about traumatic events. Children tend to make up what they don’t know, which is often worse than reality. Encouraging them to ask lots of questions is important as it allows space for a truthful and open explanation to help correct these. Allow for repetition Remember that children tend to repeat themselves when they are feeling uncertain or worried. They may need to ask the same question a number of times until they feel more reassured. Be as truthful as possible When children ask a direct or tricky question, it can be tempting to avoid it by bending the truth. This can be unhelpful when they are talking to others about what happened. It's often more helpful to be as honest as possible. This is also true of questions when you don’t know the answer. Remember that it is okay not to know or to go away and find out and get back to them. View full article
