Coronation Street fans will see Seb Franklin left fighting for his life tonight as the net closes in on the people trafficking ring.
The teen is eager to see Alina Pop again and is delighted when he gets a text message from her asking him to meet after work.

However, when Seb arrives, he’s horrified to realise he’s been set up and trafficking ring leader Nikolai greets him instead in Coronation Street.
Before long, Seb is brutally attacked by Nikolai – who will go to any lengths to keep his twisted secret covered up.
In tonight’s second episode builder/people trafficker, Jan, will take Seb to the hospital where he dumps the teen’s body at A&E.
Jan then covers his tracks by telling lover Eileen Grimshaw that he’s been working away in Birmingham but, after visiting Seb in hospital with his mum Abi, she starts to get suspicious.

Later this week, Eileen – played by Sue Cleaver in the ITV soap – will find her own life in danger when she visits the nail bar, which is being used as a front for the trafficking ring, and finds Jan, Rachel and Nikolai frantically packing the fixtures and
fittings into the back of a van.
Eileen will then end up being held hostage as she approaches Jan, with her phone being smashed so she can’t call the police.
Just as she fears she could be killed to keep the illegal activities hidden, Eileen is relieved when the police smash their way into the salon.
They arrest everyone – including Eileen, but she’s released later when it’s obvious she has no idea what’s
been going on.
The Sun Online revealed earlier this year that Eileen would find herself in peril after suspecting her boyfriend Jan is involved in drugs.
A source exclusively told us: “After everything she went through with Phelan, Eileen thought she had found happiness with Jan but she will have a few niggling doubts about him.
“Learning from her past mistakes, Eileen will start digging into Jan’s life but the truth is more horrifying than she could have ever imagined.
“She goes blundering into one of the nail bars convinced it’s a front for drugs but when the gang realise she could blow their entire operation they decide to take drastic action to keep their sex trafficking ring secret.
“Eileen screams for her left – but will anyone hear her and rescue her from certain death?”
- Coronation Street is on ITV, Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm
