If Abi was the victim, then Carl is the one digging his own grave.

In upcoming episodes, a series of shocking events surrounding Carl Webster will leave viewers both outraged and curious.

For months, Carl cleverly concealed a sophisticated web of lies – from secretly contacting his ex-lover to hiding shady business dealings.

But like all secrets on Coronation Street, nothing stays buried forever.

When intimate text messages between Carl and a strange woman are leaked, his reputation as the “model man” crumbles overnight. Kevin Webster – Carl’s closest friend and relative – unceremoniously kicks him out of the garage, declaring, “No one who betrays the Webster family can walk down this street with their head held high.” This line is predicted to be one of the most shocking moments of the week.

Carl initially tries to justify himself, but the more he lies, the tighter the noose around his neck tightens. When Abi decides to reveal the evidence, Carl is cornered. The scene of Carl collapsing in front of the house, rain lashing his face, the faint light from the window casting a shadow makes him look both pathetic and guilty.

However, the script leaves one detail open: Carl doesn’t seem to be the only one keeping a secret. Someone else – possibly Tracy Barlow – holds the rest of the story. A teaser clip at the end of the episode shows Tracy standing with a cold smile, holding a phone with pictures of Abi and Carl – hinting at the possibility that she will use this scandal to get revenge on both of them.
