Whispers and speculation are sweeping across Weatherfield—and beyond—as Coronation Street fans brace for a major storyline twist: Could Abi Webster be pregnant with Carl’s baby? With Abi caught in the middle of emotional chaos, betrayal, and forbidden romance, viewers are preparing for a possible paternity bombshell that could shake the very foundations of her life.

The signs are there. The timing is suspicious. And fans are already asking: “Whose baby is it?”

A Love Triangle Fueled by Lies and Passion
Abi’s recent story arc has been nothing short of explosive. Her marriage to Kevin Webster is on the brink of collapse following a series of devastating revelations. First, she discovered that Kevin had lied about being seriously ill—a manipulative tactic to keep her from walking away during a rocky time in their relationship. That betrayal alone could have destroyed their bond.

But things escalated further when Abi found out about Carl’s illegal activities at the garage. Even worse, Kevin was aware of Carl’s dodgy dealings and helped cover them up. For Abi, who’s been fighting for honesty and a fresh start, the double betrayal left her emotionally raw—and vulnerable.

In the midst of that emotional storm, Abi turned to Carl—Kevin’s brother—for comfort. Their connection, already laced with tension, turned physical. Their affair has quickly turned into one of Corrie’s most scandalous entanglements in recent memory.

Fan Theories Catch Fire
Soap fans are nothing if not observant. And many have begun putting the pieces together: emotional stress, a passionate affair, a history of dramatic pregnancies on the show—it all points toward one thing. Could Abi be expecting a child, and could Carl be the father?

Social media is ablaze with speculation. One fan wrote:

“Abi’s sleeping with Carl AND still tied to Kevin. This is classic Corrie buildup. I’m calling it now—she’s pregnant, and nobody knows who the dad is!”

Others have echoed similar thoughts, referencing the long tradition of surprise pregnancies and paternity dramas that define soap storytelling. Abi herself has had her fair share of turmoil involving motherhood, including tragic loss and redemption arcs—so another baby storyline wouldn’t be out of place.

Clues in the Storyline
There’s no official confirmation of a pregnancy yet, but recent episodes have laid enough groundwork to make the possibility feel inevitable.

Abi’s emotional withdrawal from Kevin and increased attachment to Carl has been emphasized.

She lied about feeling unwell to avoid a family event with Kevin, only to meet up with Carl later that night.

The show’s writing has heavily focused on betrayal, secrecy, and intimate moments—all soap staples that precede big reveals.

If a pregnancy is confirmed in the coming weeks, it could ignite one of Coronation Street’s most complicated love triangles in years.
