Abi Webster’s latest move in Coronation Street could spell even more trouble for her, as she finds herself walking a fine line between temptation and disaster. While her personal life already sits on shaky ground, her next decision could push her into riskier territory than ever before.
The Affair That Won’t Stay Quiet
Abi’s been playing with fire ever since sparks flew between her and her brother-in-law Carl. The pair is still in the early days of a steamy affair, but that hasn’t stopped them from taking bold risks to sneak around. In the episode airing Wednesday, 13 August, Carl casually strikes up a conversation with James Bailey, arranging some personal training sessions. But as soon as he spots Abi at the garage, his attention shifts.
A cheeky, flirty text lands on Abi’s phone, and the grin that spreads across her face says it all. Unable to resist, Abi suddenly asks to leave work early, and claims she’s got a migraine. It’s a convincing enough excuse for those around her, but viewers will see the truth written all over her guilty smile; this is just the latest in her string of sneaky exits to enjoy some alone time with Carl.
Coronation Street : A Close Call
But next week’s risky escape plan comes with a major hiccup. Later in the day, Tyrone Dobbs catches sight of Carl driving past and immediately recognises the vehicle. According to a Corrie insider, Carl reacts fast, jumping out of the car to greet Tyrone while Abi ducks down in the passenger seat, trying to stay hidden.
“You’ll have to wait and see whether Tyrone actually spots her,” the source teased. And it’s not just joyrides that are causing trouble. Abi and Carl also find themselves oddly interested in a prank Hope Dobbs has pulled. Hope’s managed to snap a cheeky photo of Tyrone’s bum crack and is threatening to post it online for a laugh.
More Than Just a Prank?
While most would roll their eyes or laugh it off, Abi and Carl’s reaction is a little too intense to be normal. When Kevin hears about the picture and asks to see it, Abi starts to panic. She quickly suggests Tyrone hand Hope’s phone back before Kevin gets a glimpse, which only raises more questions.
The insider explained that soap bosses are keeping the exact reason under wraps, but Abi’s unsettled reaction seems tied to her secret with Carl. In fact, she later ropes Carl to “fix” the problem. It seems like that picture that could land them both in serious hot water.
If either Tyrone or Kevin connects the dots, or if Hope’s prank goes public, Abi could find herself facing far more than an awkward confession. And in true Coronation Street style, it’s anyone’s guess whether she can wriggle her way out this time.
