Coronation Street character sacked as boss takes action

Carl Webster and Kevin Webster (Jonathan Howard and Michael Le Vell) both recently made shocking discoveries about each other in Coronation Street.

Kevin discovered that Carl has been using his garage as a base for stealing cars, in cahoots with a woman called Fiona. He tried to stop Fiona making off with a vehicle, but became unwell and Glenda (Jodie Prenger) had to take him to hospital.

Kevin has been going through gruelling treatment for cancer, and of course the worry was that his collapse was related to his cancer. But when Carl got to the hospital and spoke to one of the doctors he was gobsmacked to learn that Kevin had been given the all-clear at his last appointment and is cancer free.

Kevin has been letting his family think that he still has cancer, so Carl now had something on his brother that he could use to stop him telling the police about the stolen cars.

The reason Kevin has been pretending to still have cancer is that he’s secretly terrified that his wife Abi (Sally Carman) may be about to have an affair with Carl. His plan is that Abi won’t leave him while she thinks he’s still going through treatment, and he can use that time to make her fall in love with him again.

In upcoming episodes Abi is angry with Carl for causing trouble with Kevin, and Carl has to bite his tongue to stop himself telling her about Kev’s lies.

But when Abi talks to Tyrone (Alan Halsall) about how to tell Kevin’s son Jack (Kyran Bowes) that Kevin’s treatment hasn’t worked, Tyrone is forced to tell her that Kevin confessed to him a while ago that he’s actually cancer-free.

Abi is fuming and won’t listen to Kevin’s pleas that he only pretended about the cancer in order to save their marriage. It actually has the opposite effect and she goes straight off to find Carl, falling into his arms for a passionate kiss.
