Coronation Street's Simon Barlow will land a new job next week, after Carla Barlow sacks him from his role at the Underworld factory.
Simon experiences a difficult week at work this week, after new arrival Bobby winds him up, but Simon's attitude doesn't help matters. When he shows up late and then refuses to make a delivery, Carla eventually decides to take action.
As next week arrives, Carla, who has had enough of his continuous bad attitude, informs Simon that he's lost his job. He wakes up with a terrible hangover following yet another night of drinking, before he realises with horror that he has spilt his beer over Nick Tilsley's paperwork.

Simon quickly hides the damaged paperwork and as Nick searches for it, Simon makes out that he hasn't seen the papers and offers to go and print them off for him.
After Simon calls into the Bistro with the newly-printed paperwork, Nick thanks him. He then urges Leanne Battersby to try and persuade Carla to reinstate Simon at the factory.
Leanne heads off to see Carla and urges her to give Simon another chance at Underworld. She explains that Simon has been strongly affected by his dad Peter's sudden departure at Christmas, and feels that he could use some direction.

However, later in the week, Simon reveals that Carla has taken Bobby on at the factory in his place. Leanne offers to speak to Carla again, but Simon asks her not to.
Later on, Leanne overrules Nick and offers Simon a job at the Bistro instead. After Simon starts his new job, Bobby suggests that they should have a lock-in – and Simon feels tempted.
Is Simon about to blow it at the Bistro in his very first week?
Simon will reportedly be leaving the cobbles this summer, with actor Alex Bain said to be exiting Coronation Street after 15 years.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
