A huge earthquake has just occurred in Coronation Street when Carl Webster – the seemingly gentlest and kindest guy on the street – was suddenly caught in an undeniable moment with James Bailey.

The two, who were rumored to be just close friends, now have a clear ambiguous relationship that has caused a stir in Weatherfield residents.

It all started when Carl tried to hide his double life.

During the day, he was a trustworthy man, always helping his family and neighbors.

At night, he was entangled in a deep emotional bond with James – a footballer who was trying to maintain a perfect image. The situation reached its climax when Abi accidentally caught the two of them in an intimate scene. No one said anything, but everyone’s eyes understood what had just happened.

Carl frantically tried to deny it, while James stood still, his heart in turmoil. The news spread like wildfire, sparking a flurry of rumours: is this a betrayal, or is it just a long-hidden love? While Carl tries to keep his cool, he is terrified inside – because he knows that if the truth is revealed, not only will his reputation be ruined, but the Webster family will also collapse.

What shocked the audience even more was the truth: Carl was not only hiding it from James, but also had a previous relationship with Abi. That means he is living in a spiral of lies – a “love triangle” that could explode at any moment. And when Kevin Webster finds out, the confrontation between the two brothers will surely be the focus of next week.

There is no doubt that Carl Webster is the “time bomb” of Coronation Street. He has ignited the biggest scandal of the month – and the question now is: who will burn with him?
