Abi’s world implodes as she uncovers more secrets in Coronation Street – that lead her straight to one man
Abi Webster (Sally Carman) is currently in a dilemma in Coronation Street as she finds herself torn between her husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and his brother Carl (Jonathan Howard).
Abi and Carl were instantly attracted to each other when they met by chance when he first turned up in Weatherfield, but on finding out he was her brother-in-law, Abi has tried to resist the temptation of Carl. This hasn’t stopped him trying, though.
Kevin recently got wind that something was either going on or was about to go on between his wife and brother, and in an attempt to make Abi stay with him he pretended that his cancer treatment wasn’t working. In reality he’d been given the all-clear.
Although Carl found out about Kevin’s lie, it was Tyrone (Alan Halsall) who ended up telling Abi as he wanted to stop her worrying Jack (Kyran Bowes) by telling him that Kevin was still ill.
Kevin admitted what he’d done and why, but Abi was disgusted by his actions and went straight to Carl, where the two finally gave in to their feelings for each other.
Kevin had some ammunition against Carl, though, as he knew that he was involved in a stolen car scam and threatened to go to the police if Carl didn’t end things with Abi. Kevin also sacked Carl from the garage and Carl agreed to leave Weatherfield, only for Debbie (Sue Devaney) to persuade him to stay.
In upcoming episodes Abi finds herself covering for Kevin as he tells people he’s been given the all-clear from his cancer. His friends are delighted, but Abi leaves the celebrations to spend time at the hotel with Carl.
Abi is furious when she realises that Kevin is still lying to her, and if he was hoping that his actions would keep his wife by his side he’s very wrong. His lies send her back to Carl, and while Kevin heads to Dev and Bernie’s wedding on his own, Abi is in Carl’s hotel room.
Have Kevin’s lies sealed the fate of his marriage?
