When Abi announced the divorce, the spotlight was not only on Kevin but also on Carl Webster — Kevin’s younger brother suspected of being involved in the breakup.

Carl had been rumored to be the “secret third person” before, but now all eyes were on him as a suspect.

In a fairly new episode, Carl was found standing outside Abi’s house for a long time — eyes closed, head bowed as if in torment.

There was a scene where Kevin happened to drive by and saw Carl standing there, his face pale.

“Carl, what are you doing here?” — ​​Kevin shouted from the car. Carl did not respond, just turned away, his thin figure swaying in the night. This scene made the audience nervous: if Carl really had a relationship with Abi, why was he so silent?

There is a source from Digital Spy that the possibility of Abi being mentally manipulated by Carl is very high — Carl can use emotions, show weakness to make Abi pity, sink into the feeling of “I saved him” to hide the reality. (Source: “Divorce bombshell revealed – but is Carl manipulating Abi?”)

A fanmade scene I imagine: in Abi’s room, the night is quiet, Carl’s phone vibrates, text message: “I’m out there, open the door” — Abi hesitates, looks out the door — then closes the curtains. That night, Carl walks around behind the window, looks at the light in the room, his eyes are sour. He is torn between love and guilt.
