After a series of secrets were exposed, Coronation Street viewers continued to witness a new shock: Abi Webster (Sally Carman) decided to say goodbye to Kevin (Michael Le Vell) to officially pursue her illicit love affair with Carl (Jonathan Howard).

This was not only a big turning point in Abi’s life, but also a moment that signaled an emotional storm waiting to erupt in Weatherfield.

Abi once had a chance to retreat when Tracy (Kate Ford) exposed Carl’s true face – the one who did not hesitate to order Dylan Wilson to destroy the flower shop and even threaten Ken Barlow (William Roache).

However, instead of coming to her senses, Abi chose to turn her back on her family and rush straight into Carl’s arms.

The scene of her and Carl hugging each other tightly in the Chariot Square hotel room left the audience both stunned and angry: is Abi truly in love, or is she just setting herself on a path to destruction?

This decision will certainly have serious consequences. Kevin, the man who has forgiven and protected his wife many times, will now have to face the most bitter betrayal. Once the truth is revealed, not only will his heart be broken, but the Webster family’s reputation will also be tarnished in front of the public.

Meanwhile, Carl – with his nature increasingly revealed – is gradually turning into Corrie’s new “villain”. From destroying shops, luring minors, to threatening an elderly person like Ken, all show that he has no stopping point. Abi – who once longed to escape her dark past – has now accidentally become an ally in a series of dangerous plots.
