Abi Webster (Sally Carman) got much more than she bargained for when she headed to the supermarket in tonight’s Coronation Street.
The mechanic’s day took a turn for the worse when a car hit hers as she tried to reverse into a parking space, leading to a confrontation with the driver.
When he made a derogatory comment about what could have caused her bad mood, Abi was quick to put him straight, explaining how husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) was battling cancer and how she’d just finished treatment for PTSD after Mason Radcliffe’s death.
Though he tried to apologise, Abi ended up lashing out and giving him a bloody nose as she punched him in the face.
She was quick to apologise, and eventually got him to agree not to press charges.
Things got even worse for the driver when his car wouldn’t start, but fortunately Abi offered to get it up and running again.
As she worked on the car, the conversation between them grew more flirty, until eventually the driver asked her out.
Abi made it very clear that she was married and insisted she wasn’t interested – though there was certainly chemistry in the air between them!
However, things were set to get even more complicated when Abi met Kevin at the Bistro for a double date with Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) and Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan).
Debbie and Kevin were thrilled when younger brother Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) turned up for a surprise visit – but the same couldn’t be said for Abi, who instantly recognised him as the man from the car park!
Abi was mortified as Kevin retold the story of her afternoon to Carl, totally oblivious to the fact that Carl was the man involved.
Later, finding themselves alone, Carl continued to flirt with Abi, despite her protestations that she was a married woman.
She once again made it clear that she wasn’t interested, though their conversation had clearly left her flustered.
In recent days, Kevin attempted to push his loved ones away as he struggled to deal with his testicular cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Abi even mentioned the strain in their relationship to Carl during their carpark argument.
With sparks flying between them and the tension clearly rising, is Abi set to cheat on Kevin with his own brother?
