Corrie spoilers: Johnny Connor s eyesight begins to fail in MS relapse ahead of court date Mirror 30/12/2020 Sara-Aisha Kent
Coronation Street s Johnny Connor s health is declining but it will not mean his day in court is moved.
Johnny (Richard Hawley) is currently dealing with a ton of guilt after he ran over an innocent man - who then died - while committing a crime job with Scott Emberton (Tom Roberts).
Overwhelmed with culpability he asks wife Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) to end their marriage by getting a divorce as he believes he is on the way to a long time in prison.
In scenes to air early in the New Year, Johnny will continue to shut his wife Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) out and hide his emotions as he awaits his sentencing.
He is very worried to discover that his eyesight is starting to fail, leading Jenny to ask lawyer Imran Habeeb (Charlie De Melo) if Johnny s sentencing can be postponed due to his health concerns. However, Imran confirms that Johnny s issue is not serious enough for him to be granted a delay in his case.
Later in the week, Jenny is distraught when Johnny s nurse diagnoses an MS relapse. Despite this further setback, the nurse admits that this is still no reason for Johnny not to attend court.
