Coronation Street viewers have been keeping a close eye on Carl Webster ever since he arrived in Weatherfield, and lately, his story has only been getting messier. Now that family tensions are rising and events are going beyond control, Carl’s actions are about to place him right at the centre of something far bigger than anyone expected.
Carl Webster’s Arrival Changed Everything
Jonathan Howard joined Coronation Street earlier this year as Carl Webster, the younger half-brother of Kevin and Debbie Webster. Until then, Carl had only ever been mentioned by name, so his sudden arrival instantly raised curiosity among viewers.
His first scene was about when he was involved in a minor car park collision at Fresco’s with Abi Webster. Neither of them knew who the other really was, but there was an immediate spark, even though Abi was furious and ended up hitting Carl.
They walked away from each other, but that clearly wasn’t the end of it. Not long after, Abi was stunned to see Carl again. This time at the Bistro with Kevin and Debbie, who were thrilled to be reunited with their long-lost brother. What followed shocked everyone, as Carl and Abi began an affair that destroyed Abi and Kevin’s marriage and caused a serious rift within the Webster family.
Secrets, Cash, And A Wedding On The Brink
As the new year approaches, Carl’s behaviour starts raising concern. Debbie and Ronnie Bailey’s wedding should be a happy occasion. But spoilers suggest Carl’s secrets threaten to overshadow the big day.
Abi discovers a bag full of cash hidden in the boot of Carl’s car, instantly making her suspicious. When they arrive at the hotel and the bag has suddenly vanished, Abi becomes convinced Carl is planning to disappear.
She finds Kevin and tells him what she believes is going on, leaving him absolutely livid. When Debbie finally arrives, she senses the tension between her brothers straight away and orders them to stop fighting.
As the ceremony gets underway and Debbie performs with the dementia choir, the big question hangs in the air. Can Carl and Kevin keep the peace, or is their feud about to ruin Debbie and Ronnie’s wedding completely?
Carl Caught In Coronation Street Chaos
It has now been confirmed that Carl, along with Debbie, Kevin, and Abi, will be heavily involved in Coronation Street and Emmerdale’s historic crossover episode, Corriedale. The special episode sees disaster strike on a dark, stormy road near Hotten. There, a terrifying multi-vehicle crash pulls characters from both soaps into one night of chaos.
The trailer shows Kit Green taking charge at the crash site while a frantic Carla Connor tries to calm someone down. Injured Shona and David Platt receive roadside treatment from Emmerdale paramedic Jacob Gallagher. While Corrie trainee Asha Alahan works alongside Cain Dingle to help other victims.
Jonathan explained that growing up in Lancashire, he used to dream about Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossing over. He said it felt unreal that the crossover finally happened 25 years later and that he just happened to be on the show when it did. Lucky, he!
