Gemma Winter-Brown is accused of poisoning stepson Joseph in upcoming Coronation Street scenes.
Viewers will know that Gemma has been struggling with all of her responsibilities in recent months, culminating in her rushing Joseph to A&E over her concerns he was ill.
While it turns out the young boy was fine in that instance, the ordeal makes Gemma doubt herself in upcoming scenes when Joseph complains he's not feeling well.
Chesney is eventually called out of work to pick up Joseph from school, and he gets upset with Gemma for not taking the boy at his word.

Gemma is understandably hurt by Chesney's criticism, leading to her walking out after describing herself as a "terrible mother".
She tries to focus on the family's early Christmas celebration, which has been planned because Bernie may be behind bars on the actual holiday. However, Chesney is concerned that Joseph still isn't feeling well.
Gemma takes Bernie's suggestion that Joseph drink some lavender tea, only for the child to pass out shortly after having some.
Chesney takes Joseph for another check at the hospital and he's stunned when the doctor reveals that Joseph has been poisoned.
