If you think Coronation Street is out of “cold-blooded villains”, Carl Webster will make you change your mind in just one episode.

With a gentle face and a polite smile like a “good little brother”, Carl has just tricked his sister – Debbie Webster – into bankruptcy.

Debbie discovers that she has signs of memory loss and temporary disorientation.

While she is at her weakest, Carl does not comfort her – on the contrary, he makes a detailed plan to “clean” her out of the business.

Step one: mess up the paperwork. Carl makes Debbie sign “paid” invoices that are actually trap papers. He calmly says: “Let me take care of it, you can rest.” Debbie signed in a daze, not knowing she had just cut off her financial resources.

Step two: undermining her reputation. When a customer complained, Carl whispered to the staff: “My sister is a bit… unwell these days.” The whole neighborhood whispered. Debbie was confused, doubting herself.

Step three: the final blow. The transfer contract was placed in front of Debbie while she was exhausted. Carl said: “Do you trust me?” Debbie signed with trembling hands. And after just one night, she officially lost all power.

Corrie fans were furious:
“Carl is the new villain of this season, period!”

The most heartbreaking thing was that Debbie still thought her brother was protecting her. But when she saw the company staff calling “the new boss Carl”, Debbie realized she had been stabbed from behind.

A scene that made viewers choke: Debbie held the contract, tears falling uncontrollably, her mouth muttering:
“Carl, why did you do this to me?”
