If Carla, Bethany and Asha are enough to make the audience’s heart stop, then in another development, Carl Webster shows his sinister side.

Not only is he having an affair with Abi Webster, Carl also has a secret relationship with James Bailey.

When Debbie Webster accidentally discovers Abi holding the hotel key, Carl immediately blames her sister’s dementia, making Debbie both ashamed and confused.

However, the truth cannot be hidden forever.

When Debbie checks the CCTV, she sees Abi entering Carl’s room. Debbie immediately rushes to knock on the door, determined to expose the couple on the spot. Abi trembles, realizing that Carl is willing to sacrifice the trust of his family just to keep the secret. At the climax, Debbie gives an ultimatum: either Abi leaves the house, or the truth will be known to Kevin Webster. Will Abi accept sacrificing her home to pursue the wrong love?

Meanwhile, Theo Silverton drags the audience into a new mystery. One night of fun, a man named Owen recognizes Theo and shows signs of panic. Instead of explaining, Theo pulls Owen out and coldly threatens him. This action makes Todd Grimshaw worried, because he begins to see a controlling and shady Theo.

The drama increases when Theo’s phone is handed over to Brian by a stranger, making Todd even more suspicious. The dark past that Theo hides is gradually revealed. Could that be the trigger that causes the relationship between him and Todd to collapse?

Carl’s cruelty and Theo’s scary secret create a dark picture, making Coronation Street this week both suffocating and full of betrayal.
