Debbie Webster lashes out at Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street when she tries to spill Abi and Carl’s secret. With the affair hanging by a thread, Tracy’s scheming puts her in direct conflict with Debbie, setting up a fiery showdown.
Tracy Uncovers the Affair
Abi and Carl thought their relationship would stay hidden, but Tracy became suspicious when Carl rejected her. After he hinted he was already in love, she guessed it was Abi. Carl denied it, but Tracy’s doubts grew. She soon got the proof she needed when she peeped through the kitchen window at number 13 and saw Abi and Carl kissing.
Already struggling with divorce costs from Steve McDonald, she realised she could cash in on the truth. She confronted the pair and demanded £10,000 to keep her silence. Abi pleaded with her, saying she didn’t want to hurt Kevin. Tracy admitted she understood being tempted by someone new, pointing to her fling with Tommy Orpington, but she insisted she still needed the money.
Coronation Street: Debbie Caught In the Middle
Abi set off for Mallorca to join Kevin and the boys on their holiday, telling Carl that she would enjoy the trip but wouldn’t get close to Kevin. Now that Abi is gone, Tracy tried again to push Carl. She attempted to seduce him, this time with her phone secretly recording. Her goal was to trap him into paying up by having evidence she could use against him.
The plan shook Carl. Backed into a corner, he returned to crime and teamed up with Brody to steal cars, desperate to raise money before Tracy destroyed everything. As Tracy tightened her grip, Debbie stepped in, furious at her attempts to wreck Abi and Carl’s lives. She clashed with Tracy, and made it clear she wouldn’t let her sister’s world fall apart so easily.
Carl’s risky choices and Tracy’s blackmail leave the Webster family on the brink of chaos. Once the truth comes out, the damage could be impossible to repair. For more Coronation Street spoilers and updates, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily.
