Next week on Coronation Street, Carl Webster proves he hasn’t changed one bit. Just when things already look tense around Debbie’s situation, he escalates the drama by targeting Ronnie Bailey and he doesn’t stop at insults. Carl actively pushes to get Ronnie arrested, setting off consequences that could ripple through the whole family.
Carl Sets A Trap For Ronnie in Coronation Street
The hostility between Carl and Ronnie explodes after Carl deliberately provokes him with a cruel reminder: Debbie will always choose Carl because she’s his mum.
The remark cuts deep and pushes Ronnie to seek the truth directly from Debbie in prison. There, she confirms the decades-old secret Carl exposed but instead of calming matters, it fuels the rivalry.
The two men clash again once Ronnie returns, and their confrontation turns physical. After the scuffle leaves Carl with a bruised eye, he wastes no time making his move. He goes straight to detective Kit Green and demands Ronnie be arrested for assault.
Carl knows exactly what he’s doing; he wants Ronnie in serious trouble, and this time he’s using the law to do it. Now Kit must decide whether the situation forces his hand.
Prison Won’t Stop Carl’s Scheming
While Ronnie faces possible charges, Carl creates more emotional chaos by arranging a prison visit with Debbie.
The guard informs her that her “brother” plans to see her, which shocks her after their last meeting ended with Carl telling her to rot in jail once he realised adoptive mum Elaine never truly loved him as her biological child.
Since then Debbie has collapsed behind bars, and Carl’s sudden visit raises suspicion. Is he feeling guilty or manipulating her again? An insider reveals Debbie is overjoyed to see him and wants to repair the past. She promises she’ll put everything right when she gets out and make up for the years she couldn’t be a proper mum to him.
But with Carl simultaneously trying to land Ronnie an assault charge, his intentions look far from sincere. If Ronnie gets arrested and Debbie eventually returns to the Street, Carl may already have destroyed her life. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
