Coronation Street viewers believe they’ve worked out who Abi Webster’s next love interest might be on the cobbles following a turbulent storyline that saw her affair with Carl Webster exposed and her marriage to Kevin left in tatters

The speculation comes after Carl’s betrayal and the fallout from their secret relationship. That plotline, which has consumed much of Abi’s recent screen time, ended with trust broken and many fans calling for a fresh start for her character. Following these dramatic twists — including betrayal, emotional conflict and open tensions with Kevin — some viewers think the show might be setting up a new romantic chapter for Abi.

Online discussions among fans suggest that Abi’s next potential partner could be someone already woven into the Weatherfield community, with theories focusing on established characters whose interactions with her hint at deeper connection and mutual respect. While nothing has been officially confirmed by ITV, the buzz reflects growing viewer interest in moving Abi’s narrative forward beyond the highly-criticised Carl storyline.

This fan speculation highlights a desire for renewal in Abi’s personal arc, as many feel she deserves a storyline that helps her heal and find happiness after betrayal and emotional upheaval. Whether the show decides to introduce a new romantic interest or deepen an existing friendship into something more remains to be seen, but it’s clear that audiences are eager for Abi to have a more uplifting direction on the cobbles.
