Abi’s Affair Pushes Her to Breaking Point
Coronation Street is gearing up for heartbreak as Abi Webster’s affair with Carl threatens to destroy her marriage to Kevin. Abi admits she still cares for her husband, but the spark has gone. For Kevin, who has stood by her through every storm, this revelation could be devastating.
Sally Carman, who plays Abi, revealed that the fallout will be “really tough” if Kevin and Abi split. She confessed that filming without Mike Le Vell, who plays Kevin, would be a huge loss. Their on-screen chemistry has become so natural that she describes them as “work husband and wife.”
Trouble Brews as Tracy Learns the Truth
In tonight’s episode, Abi’s secret world comes crashing down. Tracy Barlow stumbles upon her affair with Carl – and she’s not keeping it to herself. Instead, she plots to exploit the betrayal for her own gain.
Sally teased that Tracy is the last person Abi would want knowing the truth. “Of all the people in all the land, for it to be Tracy, there’s certainly going to be fireworks,” she said.
Abi is blindsided, torn between her longing for a fairytale romance and the brutal reality of her decisions. With Tracy stirring the pot, the drama is set to explode.
Can Abi Really Trust Carl?
While Abi is chasing love, Carl may not be the safe choice she believes him to be. Sally hinted that Carl can’t be trusted. “Lovely Abi… she just wants the fairytale. God bless her. But she’s blindly hurtling towards disaster,” she explained.
The actress admitted Abi’s loyalty to Carl could spell disaster, especially with Tracy now armed with dangerous knowledge. Viewers can expect chaos as secrets, blackmail, and betrayal collide on the cobbles.
Sally Carman Reflects on Powerful Storylines
Away from Abi’s love life, Sally is also celebrating recognition for one of the soap’s hardest-hitting plots. She has been nominated for Best Storyline at the Inside Soap Awards for Abi’s role in Mason Radcliffe’s tragic death and the aftermath.
Sally recalled receiving the scripts: “When I saw that relationship in that intense moment when he was dying – and the run-up with the altercation in Seb’s garden – it was a wonderful thing to be able to unpick. To be nominated is insane, so thank you so much.”
What’s Next for Abi and Kevin?
As the walls close in, Abi risks losing everything. Kevin’s loyalty, Carl’s true colours, and Tracy’s blackmail all collide in a perfect storm. With cracks widening in her marriage, Abi must soon face the ultimate question: does she still have a future with Kevin, or has her affair destroyed it forever?
Coronation Street fans should brace themselves. Walford may be fiery, but Weatherfield is about to erupt.
