Kevin Webster lashes out after devastating health news as he struggles to cope in Coronation Street
UPCOMING Coronation Street scenes will see Kevin Webster lash out after receiving devastating health news.
A devastating new storyline has seen the mechanic diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Having found a lump on his testicles, Kevin got himself tested fter a pep talk from his best mate Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine).
Things appear to be getting worse, as the soap legend is set to receive more bad news in scenes yet to air.
His wife Abi (Sally Carman) offers to cancel her therapy session, in order to spend the afternoon with him – but Kevin won’t allow it.
Tim later finds Kevin in the garage and after offering support, Kevin’s hurt becomes anger.
Elsewhere, Abi opens up to Ronnie (Vinta Morgan) about her therapy sessions.
Kevin enters, sees them laughing together and leaves again – how will he react?
Discussing the storyline, producer Kate Brooks previously said: “As we go into the new year, Kevin will discover that he’s got testicular cancer, which causes a massive strain on his relationship.
“Abi is a really strong character, but she’s going through her own turmoil at the same time.
“We want to tell this really truthfully. We’ve been working closely with Macmillan to make sure that we tell the story right.”
Kevin received his test results last week, as his ex-wife Sally (Sally Dynevor) accompanied him to his appointment.
When the diagnosis is revealed, the doctor also informed him he’ll have to undergo an operation.
The Sun revealed last year how Kevin would be diagnosed with testicular cancer.
It comes 41 years into the long-standing character’s tenure in Coronation Street.
In another heartbreaking storyline, Kevin’s sister Debbie is set to be diagnosed with dementia.
Viewers were left stunned when it was revealed last year how the legendary character was being killed off.
This arc will mark the end of actress Sue Devaney’s time in the ITV soap.
A source told Metro “It’s one of the show’s biggest storylines of the year, and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight – it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline.”
