While Betsy reels from the chaos at Weatherfield Precinct, another storyline runs parallel – and it might just be linked to the crash.

Carl Webster, Kevin’s troubled brother, is about to face a reckoning that could change everything.

When Kevin returns from holiday on Monday, September 8, he immediately senses something is wrong.

His instincts don’t let him down.

Outside the garage, Kevin spots Carl lingering — a sight that sparks fury. Kevin had been crystal clear before: Carl was to stay away from the family business. Yet here he is, ignoring the warnings.

Kevin wastes no time confronting him. Their heated exchange is explosive, with Kevin demanding Carl leave the garage by the end of the day. Carl’s excuses don’t wash, and Kevin makes it clear that family ties won’t save him this time. For Kevin, protecting the garage isn’t just about business; it’s about shielding his family from the poison Carl brings.

But Carl has bigger problems than his brother’s wrath. Tracy Barlow’s blackmail has backed him into a corner, draining him of money he doesn’t have. Desperate to make ends meet, Carl makes a fateful phone call. He tells Brody Michaelis and Dylan Wilson that he’s got another criminal job lined up. It’s quick money — but comes with consequences that neither of the lads fully understand.

Abi Webster, back from holiday and sharper than ever, soon notices something that rattles her: Dylan’s name flashing across Carl’s phone. Why is her brother-in-law wrapped up with Dylan, and what could possibly connect them? As she begins to piece the puzzle together, the reality becomes unavoidable. Carl isn’t just dabbling in shady business; he’s actively pulling others into danger.

For Carl, every decision now feels like quicksand. The more he tries to claw his way out, the deeper he sinks. And with the precinct crash drawing police attention, it won’t be long before his double life becomes impossible to hide.

The storyline promises fireworks, pitting family loyalty against survival instincts. Viewers know Kevin won’t let Carl destroy everything he’s built — but the real question is, can Carl escape before his lies catch up to him? Or will Abi’s discoveries blow his world apart?
