It’s the Coronation Street reveal fans didn’t see coming. After years of guessing, viewers finally know how old Abi Webster really is and the way it came out has everyone talking. Even better, it’s tied to Kevin Webster in a way that proves their story might not be over just yet.
A Reveal That’s Been A Long Time Coming
Abi joined the Street back in 2017. Since then, she’s been through heartbreak, chaos, and plenty of drama but one detail was always missing. Unlike other characters, her age was never mentioned. Fans had noticed that most new faces on the cobbles get their birthdays revealed within a year.
Kit, Brody, Mick, Lou, Joanie all confirmed. Even Daisy and Dee Dee had their dates shown on hospital wristbands. But for Abi, nothing.
Until now. After seven years, viewers finally got the answer they’ve been waiting for. And the way it was revealed has made fans fall in love with Kevin all over again. Abi’s date of birth has been confirmed as 29th September 1982, which makes her 43 years old. But the real surprise was how it came out. Surprise, surprise, it was through Kevin Webster’s phone passcode.
Yes, Kevin still unlocks his phone using Abi’s birthday. Fans spotted it instantly and couldn’t believe it. Given how things have been between them, he could’ve changed it long ago, but he didn’t. That proves Abi still means something to him. And the timeline makes sense too.
If Abby was born in 1982, she would’ve been around 18 or 19 when she had Seb, matching her backstory as a young mum. The writers also made her younger than actress Sally Carman-Duttine, who’s 50 in real life, so her later pregnancy with Alfie feels more realistic.
Is There Still Any Hope For Kevin & Abi?
As we already know, Abi’s love life has taken another rough turn. She’s moved out and gone off with Carl oping for a fresh start. But things aren’t going well. Inside reports are saying that Carl is probably planning to dump Abi given his relationship with James.
Tracy had already warned Abi of Carl’s nature and how he can’t be trusted. Even Debbie tried to make things right in hr own way. Kevin has been also patient for long. But Abi isn’t ready to listen. She’s giving into her passion for Carl. But can Carl give her a life and love like Kevin?
Fans are still rooting for Abi and Kevin to get back together. Can it happen? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street news, spoilers, and gossip straight from Weatherfield.
