Exclusive: Ed Bailey of Coronation Street has been keeping his family in the dark about his resurgence of his gaming addiction, even though it has previously gotten him into trouble and put them in debt.
Michael Georges’ character Ed Bailey on Coronation Street may lose his whole family if he allows his gambling addiction to take control of his life once more.
Although Ed has been denying that his addiction to gambling has returned, he is about to experience a scare in future scenes, which may reveal his addiction.
According to official spoilers, Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) says he received a call from a friend who is a property developer, and he wants them to supervise the transformation of the Rovers into apartments.
Ed is happy, but Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) cautions him that the entire street will be against him.
While Joel Derring (Callum Lill) is invited to join the family by Dee-Dee Bailey (Shannique Sterling-Brown), Michael informs Ed that Grandad Sarge (Ram John Holder) called and will be spending Christmas with them.
Ed assures Tony in the cafe that he will give him his pay today, but he can feel the anxiety mounting when he goes to pay for his coffee and Norris Cole’s (Malcolm Hebden) card is denied.
Subsequently, a letter informing Norris that his credit card has been frozen because of suspicious activity is opened by Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell).
Ed is terrified that his gambling will be discovered. Will Michael finally make the connection and realize that his father has once again fallen victim to the gambling trap?
The head of Coronation Street, Ian MacLeod, previously discussed the future for the Bailey family and acknowledged that the worst was yet to come.
“In the run-up to Christmas, Ed’s problems are spiralling and mounting and it will culminate in him hitting rock bottom shortly before Christmas,” the actor said in an interview with Express.co.uk and other press.
“He is forced to do something very upsetting for him and commit what he would consider to be a terrible betrayal in an attempt to keep the walls from the door.
“It is incredibly depressing from the perspective of the audience; Ed will feel as though he has let himself down in the worst way possible.
“This man is desperate; he’s struggled over the years, to the point where he acts in this way out of desperation.
“There is an exciting plot that deals with the family finding out what he has done and being banished into the wilderness, but naturally it remains a secret for a while.
“There is a loyalty battle between the children on which of them is sticking by his dad and which will kind of drift.”
