Tracy Barlow has a nose for trouble, and in upcoming Coronation Street scenes, she gets dangerously close to exposing a secret that could ruin the Webster family. Carl’s risky affair with Abi may not stay hidden much longer, and the wrong person is about to put the pieces together.
Abi’s Struggles and Carl’s Revenge
Carl Webster has been sneaking around with his sister-in-law Abi Webster, and fans know this affair hasn’t come out of nowhere. Abi spent weeks trying to stay loyal while supporting Kevin through his testicular cancer battle. But everything changed when she discovered Kevin had lied.
Instead of telling her he’d already received the all-clear, Kevin let Abi believe he needed more treatment. When he finally confessed, he admitted he had been scared of losing her if she no longer felt needed. Abi was furious, declared their marriage over, and ran straight to Carl.
Later, she agreed to stay with Kevin for the kids, but the secret fling with Carl carried on. To keep up appearances, she even resumed sleeping with Kevin, and that left Carl frustrated. In retaliation, Carl started flirting with Tracy Barlow, but his plan soon spun out of control.
Earlier this week, Carl walked into his hotel room and was stunned to find Tracy waiting in a bathrobe. He managed to make excuses and stopped things before they went further than a kiss. But the danger of being found out was only just beginning.
Tracy Closes in on the Affair
Debbie Webster wasn’t done stirring things up. She pushed Carl to meet Tracy again so he could “get her out of his system.” Reluctantly, Carl went along with it and met Tracy at the Chariot Square Hotel for drinks. There, Carl admitted he couldn’t start anything with her because his heart was already taken. Tracy immediately guessed Abi was the one he was obsessed with.
Panicking, Carl tried to bluff his way out, claiming he meant an ex from Germany who had recently moved to Wales. He acted offended at the suggestion that he would betray his brother with Abi. Thinking he had convinced Tracy, Carl rushed to see Abi. Conveniently, Abi had faked losing her passport so she wouldn’t have to go on holiday with Kevin and the boys. That gave her the perfect excuse to spend time with Carl.
Coronation Street: Tracy Catches Them Out
But the lovers’ luck is about to run out. After spending the night together, Carl and Abi shared a long embrace in the kitchen. The hug soon turned into a passionate kiss, completely unaware that Tracy was outside the window, watching everything.
This puts Tracy in the perfect position to blow their secret sky-high. She now knows exactly what Carl and Abi have been hiding, and with Tracy’s reputation for drama, the fallout could be explosive. Abi’s decision to stay with Kevin for the family while sneaking around with Carl has finally caught up with her. Kevin remains in the dark, but not for long if Tracy decides to open her mouth.
And Carl’s petty attempt to rile Abi by flirting with Tracy has completely backfired. Instead of harmless revenge, it is handed Tracy all the power. Now, it’s only a matter of time before the truth shakes Weatherfield to its core. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street spoilers and drama!
