Coronation Street fans were treated to a delightful double surprise during Wednesday’s This Morning. Sally Carman, who portrays Abi Webster, joined the show’s iconic sofa to discuss her character’s latest dramatic twists. Fans also got a glimpse into her personal life, as she shared a moment with her real-life husband, Joe Duttine.

Abi Webster’s Secret Affair Unfolds

Abi Webster’s marriage to Kevin Webster has been anything but smooth in recent months. In a shocking turn, Abi has been having an affair with Kevin’s brother, Carl Webster. The affair heats up as Carl pulls Abi into an embrace that leads to a passionate kiss at Number 13. But their secret rendezvous doesn’t go unnoticed.

Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) catches them in the act, hiding behind the kitchen window with a mischievous grin on her face. In upcoming episodes, Tracy’s discovery of the affair will cause even more tension in the Webster family, and viewers are left wondering how the drama will unfold.

Sally Carman’s Real-Life Romance with Joe Duttine

In a sweet moment during her This Morning appearance, Sally paused her interview to point out her husband, Joe Duttine, sitting proudly in the studio audience. As the camera shifted, Joe waved, and Sally cheerfully greeted him, saying, “My husband’s just there, hi babe!”

Joe Duttine, who plays Tim Metcalfe on Coronation Street, and Sally tied the knot in 2022. Their relationship, often shared on social media, has been a fan-favorite, with the couple frequently posting affectionate snapshots, including their recent romantic trip to Rome, Italy.

Sally Talks Abi’s Feelings for Carl and Soap Fan Backlash

When discussing her character’s feelings for Carl, Sally revealed that, despite the affair being complicated, Abi truly believes her feelings for him are genuine. “She wants that perfect love,” Sally explained. “There’s a real desire for that family unit, for someone to take Alfie on and love her.” Abi’s wish for a happy, stable home blinds her to the potential consequences of her actions.

However, not all fans are thrilled with Abi’s storyline. Sally jokingly confessed, “You cannot mess with Kevin Webster! I’ve been handbagged in the street, yeah!” Fans’ strong reactions to her character’s actions show just how invested viewers are in the drama on the cobbles.

Beyond the Coronation Street drama, Sally and Joe enjoyed a romantic getaway in Rome, which they shared with fans on social media. Sally posted pictures of their trip, captioning one of the photos with, “Rome antics #roma #fithusband #pasta #weekendaway #limone #badleg.” Fans were quick to react, showering the couple with compliments and well wishes.
