ITV Coronation Street ‘solve’ who’s targeting Abi in sex tape horror – and it’s ‘not Dean’

Coronation Street viewers think they know who is targeting Abi Franklin, after she became the victim of a deepfake porn video on the ITV soap.

On Wednesday night, her colleague and pal Tyrone Dobbs confirmed he’d received an email containing a sex tape of Abi. Abi was mortified after claiming she’d never filmed a sex video before, worrying that it was something she could not remember from her past.

Abi is a recovering drug addict and has admitted in the past that there’s things she doesn’t remember. But what Abi will soon learn is that the video is not real, and is a deepfake with someone setting her up.

More videos of her are set to emerge, and are spread online in upcoming scenes. On Wednesday, Tyrone first saw the video via email before finding it online too.

Abi fought back tears and clashed with her husband Kevin Webster, who believed the video was real. As Abi was determined to find out who had sent the video, she said she would go to the police.

The video appearing coincided with her former dealer Dean coming back to the show out of nowhere, asking her for money. Cassie Plummer caught their altercation, as Abi demanded he left her alone.

Abi was convinced the person who made the video and then shared it was Dean, who she had been with in the past. She left him a voicemail claiming he had “won”, hoping that if she gave him the money he might stop.

But viewers are convinced Abi is wrong and that Dean isn’t behind it, after spotting Cassie spying on Abi once more. Taking to X, fans speculated over who really sent the video, and believed it was Cassie who made it after she was also shown badmouthing Abi to her partner Kevin.

Cassie has had a thing for Kevin for a while, and she wasted no time in trying to drive a wedge between them in the latest episode. One fan predicted: “I bet it was Cassie who made the sex tape of Abi. That’s pure evil.”

Another agreed: “Bet Cassie has made the deep fake,” as a third wrote: “I reckon Cassie is behind the Abi tapes, she’s be trying to set her up since she arrived.” A fourth viewer suggested: “I knew it Cassie is all over this Abi tape thing. She really is the worst. I hope this is the beginning of the end for her. She’s pointless.”
