Coronation Street's Ed Bailey is humiliated next week when he meets his daughter Dee-Dee's new boyfriend, Joel Deering, for the first time, as he faces financial trouble.
In new scenes, Ed apologises to Dee-Dee for being too distracted recently to take an interest in her new relationship with solicitor Joel, and he offers to take the couple out for lunch to get to know him.
Later, in the café, Ed's card is declined when he tries to buy a coffee, and Joel kindly steps in to pay for Ed's order with his own card - with both men unaware of the other's identity.

When Ed later arrives at the Bistro to meet Dee-Dee and her new boyfriend for lunch, he is embarrassed to be introduced to Joel as the men recognise each other from the café incident.
To Ed's relief, Joel doesn't mention the declined card episode, and Ed later has to cover his embarrassment when Joel pays for the trio's lunch.
With Ed having recently struggled once again with his gambling addiction, could his money worries continue to cause him trouble?

Actress Channique Sterling-Brown, who recently won an Inside Soap Award for her portrayal of Dee-Dee, has spoken to Digital Spy about the "bizarre" reaction of some fans to Dee-Dee and Joel's relationship.
"I saw some comments about us being an interracial couple. Almost like: 'An interracial couple on the Street – God forbid.' I just thought it's so bizarre, because the relationship had nothing to do with race," she said.
"It really is just about two people who have found each other, and are really in that loved-up, gross honeymoon phase."
Meanwhile, a new Bailey family member will soon be arriving on the cobbles, with Desmond's star Ram John Holder joining for a guest stint as Ed and Ronnie's dad, Sarge.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
