Coronation Street: Carl’s NEXT MOVE Will Devastate Abi
Abi Webster has left behind her marriage to Kevin in pursuit of passion with Carl. But while she’s sacrificed family and stability, Carl’s latest move proves that his loyalties lie anywhere but with her. Viewers are bracing themselves for heartbreak, as Carl secretly reignites his fling with James—threatening to unravel everything Abi thought she was building.
Did Abi Make a Mistake?
Abi’s decision to end things with Kevin was nothing short of devastating. She admitted she no longer loved him, crushing her husband while agreeing to shield Jack from the painful truth—for now.
But even as Abi tried to manage the emotional fallout, she struggled under the weight of her broken home. When Carl pushed for intimacy before her birthday tea with Kevin and Jack, Abi confessed she wasn’t in the mood. The stress was overwhelming.
Abi’s honesty should have deepened their bond. Instead, Carl’s reaction revealed just how little her struggles mattered to him.
Carl Secretly Turns to James
Unable to handle Abi’s rejection, Carl wasted no time turning elsewhere. He secretly messaged James, his other lover, reigniting their fling without hesitation.
This betrayal cuts even deeper because Abi left a loyal partner for Carl, believing she was choosing passion. But for Carl, passion is fleeting—and loyalty is negotiable. His double life is quickly spiraling out of control.
Fans will recall Carl’s affair with James was first exposed when they were caught together in his hotel room. Their relationship began after Carl hired James as his personal trainer, making their sudden romantic turn all the more shocking.
A Dangerous Double Life
Actor Jonathan Howard has described Carl as a thrill-seeker who follows desire wherever it leads. Gender, loyalty, or consequences—none of it matters when Carl wants something.
Frustrated at Abi’s family ties, Carl turned to James for distraction. While even Tracy showed interest in him, Carl knew that route carried far more risk. James, on the other hand, offered uncomplicated fun—and Carl couldn’t resist.
But while Carl indulges in recklessness, Abi is left stranded. She gave up her marriage for him, only to discover he’s incapable of giving the same commitment in return.
Final Word
Carl may believe he can juggle Abi and James forever, but secrets in Weatherfield never stay buried for long. With Abi already fragile from her split with Kevin, the truth could devastate her—and once again prove that Carl’s love affair with danger comes at everyone else’s expense.
