Carl Webster’s journey on the cobbles may be reaching a turning point, and Coronation Street fans are starting to wonder how long he will stay. Recent scenes show Carl getting into more arguments and trouble, and even Jonathan Howard has shared that the future of his character is not clear.
Carl And Theo Finally Come Face To Face
Jonathan spoke about one of his favourite scenes to film, and it involves a fight between Carl and Theo, played by James Cartwright. The scene was filmed early in the morning in Manchester. Both actors had to roll around in the dirt, and the ground was wet.
Even though it was not comfortable, Jonathan said he really enjoyed filming it. Carl and Theo did not have many scenes together before this. There were a few moments where Carl tried to annoy him, but this fight takes their conflict to another level. It shows how serious the situation has become.
Another scene that Jonathan enjoyed was when Carl got thrown out of the Rovers Return. In that moment, Carl behaves badly and speaks harshly to everyone in the pub. Jonathan said it was fun to act in that way, especially because he got to perform with some of the show’s most well-known characters. Carl creates a big scene and ends up upsetting many people.
Fans Start Questioning Carl’s Future
Jonathan also shared that viewers should watch each episode closely. He hinted that the story may feel like a mystery where people start deciding which character they want to see leave.
Carl is one of those characters who may divide opinion. Some viewers may want him gone, while others may still see some good in him. Jonathan said he hopes the audience can still find a small part of Carl that feels real or redeeming. That could make people want him to stay a bit longer.
At the same time, he also hinted that things may not end well for Carl. Based on how his character looks after recent events, his future does not seem very positive.
Carl Webster now stands at an important point in his story. It is still not clear if he will change or if his time on the cobbles is coming to an end. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers and behind-the-scenes updates.
