Coronation Street airs explosive scenes tonight as Abi and Carl Webster’s secret affair is finally exposed. An unexpected blunder from Abi seals her fate as her estranged husband Kevin finally discovers what she’s been hiding from him.

The trouble kicks off when Kevin’s sister Debbie issues him with a warning during Ronnie Bailey’s birthday party at the Bistro. Armed with the knowledge of Abi’s big betrayal, Debbie encourages Kevin to hire a good lawyer for their divorce as his deceitful wife isn’t to be trusted.

What to Read Next

Although Debbie holds back on revealing exactly what she knows, Abi fears the worst as she witnesses the tense conversation from afar.

Abi tries to send a panicked text to Carl, warning that Kevin knows about their fling, but she messes up by firing it off to Kevin instead.

Fans can expect fireworks as the inevitable happens, with Kevin finding the incriminating message despite Carl’s efforts to delete it.

How will Kevin respond to the terrible truth – and will Abi live to regret betraying him like this? Fans can see how the drama plays out in full when the episode airs on ITV1 tonight, or it’s streaming early now on ITVX and YouTube.

A forbidden chemistry between Abi and Carl developed in the spring and it didn’t take long for them to act on their feelings for each other.

Abi eventually ended her relationship with Kevin after he was given the all-clear from cancer, but she repeatedly denied his suspicions of an affair with Carl. It’s sure to be devastating for Kevin to realise that Abi has been playing him for a fool…

Sally Carman-Duttine, who plays Abi, recently shared her mixed feelings over the storyline – as it’ll inevitably mean working less with long-time co-star Michael Le Vell.

“This storyline – as brilliant as it is and I am loving it – does mean that potentially I might have to work less with Mike Le Vell who plays Kev Webster in the future,” Sally told us in August.

“That has been really tough because I feel like we’re married! We’re ‘work wife, work husband’ – we have that relationship and he’s got my heart forever.

“He’s my friend and I’ll see him outside of work and all will be well. But I’m going to miss working with him because he’s a dream and I adore him.”
