In Coronation Street, as Kevin battles through his cancer treatment, his household has been clouded by stress, uncertainty, and a new arrival who’s proving to be anything but helpful. That new arrival? Kevin’s younger brother, Carl Webster, whose presence has stirred more than just old family memories, has now crossed a line.
Coronation Street: Carl Makes His Move
Abi and Carl have been snarling at eachother for weeks now. But beneath the sparring words and juddered mood has been a pulse of something far more sinister: chemistry that neither of them could quite disregard.
Sources tell us that the actor has been frantically keen on kissing Abi ever since they clashed for the very first time. He has been fascinated with her feisty nature and direct retorts, and despite sharing a marriage ring with his bro, Carl takes it that this is the one.
Their connection had originally been sparked in a car park row, but Abi has done her best to stay faithful to Kevin. Sadly, with Kevin‘s energy depleted from his treatment, their marriage has been on shaky ground, leaving Abi emotionally vulnerable.
The moment of weakness finally arrives when Carl turns up at No.13 looking troubled. Noticing something’s wrong, Abi pushes him to voice his opinion.
Our insider reveals that Carl attempts to show a vulnerable side and fakes emotional distress about Kevin‘s diagnosis. Abi, taken in by Carl‘s supposedly genuine words, starts to drop her defenses.
She assures him that he‘s a good man, apologizing for their bumpy beginning and admitting to being glad he‘d persevered. Their emotional connection weakens them physically and emotionally before Carl bends down and kisses her.
Will Abi Give In—or Pull Away Before It’s Too Late?
Abi is now at an impossible crossroads. In a time of emotional turmoil, she wants to throw caution to the wind. But with Kevin depending on her more than ever before, could she actually betray him in his hour of need?
The kiss could be the beginning of a full-fledged affair—or the blunder that wakes Abi up. Either way, the repercussions are bound to rattle the Websters. That, too, just when Debbie needs her family to hold together the most. We will keep you posted on Soap Opera Daily on how the rest of the plot unfolds. Stay tuned!
