Coronation Street Fans ‘Expose’ Kevin Webster’s Surprise New Romance After Abi Split
Coronation Street fans think they’ve uncovered the next big romance on the cobbles — and it involves none other than Kevin Webster. The long-time mechanic, still reeling from his devastating breakup with Abi, could be about to find comfort in the arms of an unlikely companion.
Kevin Left Heartbroken After Abi’s Betrayal
Viewers watched in shock as Kevin (Michael Le Vell) discovered that his wife Abi (Sally Carman) had been having an affair with his younger brother, Carl (Jonathan Howard). The truth came out in classic soap fashion when Abi accidentally sent a text meant for Carl straight to Kevin — exposing their secret relationship in brutal fashion.
The revelation triggered an explosive showdown that saw Kevin kick Abi out of their home. Abi and her son Alfie (Carter and Oakley Razak Townsend) later moved in with Roy Cropper (David Neilson) above the café, leaving Kevin alone at number 13 and struggling to move on.
A Glimmer of Hope in the Rovers
In recent episodes, Abi was seen settling into Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) old flat while Kevin tried to focus on his work and friends. During a chat with Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), Kevin admitted, “I’m just trying to get through it, aren’t I? I still care for her… Yes, I know I must be daft, but I can’t help it.”
But fans have noticed that another woman might be catching Kevin’s eye — Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger).
Kevin and Glenda’s history goes back to an awkward moment earlier this year when Kevin drunkenly tried to kiss her after learning about Abi’s affair. Though Glenda initially brushed him off, she later made peace with him and has since become one of the few people looking out for him at the Rovers.
Fans Spot a Possible Love Story
After their recent scenes together, Corrie fans have taken to social media convinced that Kevin and Glenda could be the soap’s next couple.
One fan wrote on Facebook:
“We’ve seen how close Glenda’s friendship with Debbie Webster has developed. Glenda deserves a decent love interest, and Kevin’s messed-up attempt to kiss her might just have been the start. Given time, Glenda could be what Kevin needs — a good, loyal woman.”
Another added:
“Opposites attract, don’t they? The way soaps are going, anything is possible. Hope Glenda finds love.”
A third chimed in:
“She’d be great for him after his last few disasters. Kevin needs a fresh start — and Glenda’s exactly that.”
What’s Next for Kevin and Glenda?
So far, ITV hasn’t confirmed whether the pair will officially get together, but with both characters at emotional crossroads — and Kevin’s sister Debbie already friendly with Glenda — the storyline could develop naturally.
After years of heartbreak, betrayal, and loss, Kevin might finally have the chance to find happiness again. Whether Glenda feels the same way, though, remains to be seen.
