Tracy McDonald is never one to sit and see in Coronation Street, especially when secrets and betrayals are in play. Now that Abi is tangled up in a risky romance and Kevin is still far away, Tracy sees the perfect chance to bring up trouble and tighten her grip on Carl Webster in her own way.
Abi and Carl’s Risky Affair
Kevin remains away in Mallorca, blissfully unaware that his marriage is under fire. While he enjoys the sun overseas, Abi grows bolder and tells Carl she wants to leave Weatherfield for a fresh start in Germany. Her words make it clear she’s serious about their future, but Carl’s reaction suggests he isn’t quite ready to take that leap.
The affair doesn’t stay quiet for long. Abi finds herself cornered by Tracy, who wastes no time taunting her about the situation. Abi insists she never meant for things to spiral this way, claiming her love for Carl wasn’t planned and that she regrets the hurt caused to Kevin. Yet Tracy shows no sympathy, making it clear she won’t let this betrayal slide.
Meanwhile, Carl hits a rough patch at the garage when Tyrone refuses to offer him more shifts. He soon smooth-talks his way back in, reminding Tyrone of his value, though his real agenda lies elsewhere. As an insider explained, Carl has already started plotting another scam, one that involves teaming up with Brody for car theft.
Abi then prepares to join Kevin abroad, reassuring Carl she expects both of them to stay faithful while she’s away. But Tracy, ever the mischief-maker, unsettles her by hinting at her own close encounter with Carl. Abi tries to put on a brave face, yet doubts linger as she wonders whether Carl will truly resist temptation.
Coronation Street: Tracy Sets Her Trap
With Abi out of town, Tracy wastes no time in moving forward with her latest scheme. She corners Carl at The Rovers and makes her intentions uncomfortably clear, laying out exactly what she wants from him. A source revealed that Tracy is determined to make the most of Abi’s absence and won’t take no for an answer this time.
Her plan goes beyond seduction. Phone in hand and recording app switched on, she heads to Carl’s hotel room and offers herself to him. As another insider explained, Carl doesn’t realise she has set him up, capturing every word of their conversation in hopes of leveraging it later.
Carl’s hesitation could cost him dearly. If he gives in, he risks blowing apart his already fragile relationship with Abi. If he refuses, he still faces Tracy’s vindictive wrath and now that she is recording her evidence, she holds the power either way. Fans now wait to see whether Tracy’s risky trap will succeed or backfire. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street updates and spoilers.
