Coronation Street Abi ‘set for affair’ with unexpected character as fans ‘work out’ who
Coronation Street's Abi Webster has been tipped to cheat on husband Kevin with a fellow cobbles resident, with fans convinced they already know who she'll have an affair with
Since her arrival in 2017, Abi has been a key character on the cobbles, involved in numerous major plot lines.
Her struggles with addiction and the tragic death of her son Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) in 2021 have ensured her time in Weatherfield has been anything but dull.
Currently, Abi’s life is in turmoil following the stabbing and subsequent death of Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan). Fans will remember the harrowing scene where Abi discovered a bleeding Mason fighting for his life.
Despite her best efforts to save him, he later died, triggering painful memories of Seb’s murder. Since Mason’s death, worries for Abi’s wellbeing have escalated.
This week saw her hallucinating Seb while seeking comfort in his memorial garden. To add to her woes, her husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) has been diagnosed with cancer, reports Lancs Live.
In Friday’s episode (January 17), Kevin finally confided in Abi, leaving her stunned. However, it appears that a shocking infidelity twist involving Abi could be on the horizon. Earlier this year, Corrie’s new boss Kate Brooks hinted at an unexpected affair on the cobbles.
Teasing major drama for Abi and Kevin’s romance, Kate spilled the beans: “She loves Kevin and he loves her, but temptation comes Abi’s way, let’s put it that way.”
Now, soap fans are buzzing with theories that they’ve sussed out who Abi might stray with – and he’s got history with taken women.
On a Coronation Street fan page on Facebook, the money’s on Kit Green (Jacob Roberts). This dodgy copper stirred up a storm lately after his fling with Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) was exposed.
A soaps enthusiast commented: “Abbie affair looming then which is a shame because I liked them.”
Another added their two cents saying: “Probably with Kit! ” Joining the speculation, a third user posted: “Yup, he’s a dirty dog! Poor Kevin.” Another fan chimed in with a similar sentiment: “He’s making his way through the entire street, why not Abi!”
