Coronation Street fans are in for more drama on the cobbles as Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) may be heading into yet another romantic entanglement—this time with someone completely unexpected.

Carl, who debuted earlier this year as the estranged brother of Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Debbie (Sue Devaney), came back to Weatherfield to support Kevin after his testicular cancer diagnosis. While his return seemed noble, Carl quickly became entangled in the lives—and hearts—of those around him.

Love Triangles and Secret Affairs

Fans have already witnessed Carl’s controversial affair with his brother Kevin’s wife, Abi (Sally Carman). Despite their familial ties, Carl and Abi gave in to temptation and have been secretly seeing each other, adding layers of tension to the family dynamic.

However, Abi isn’t the only one catching Carl’s attention. Carl has also been involved romantically with James Bailey (Jason Callender), sharing a steamy hotel encounter after flirtations at the Rovers Return. With Carl juggling multiple relationships, the cobbles are ripe for heartbreak and betrayal.

Trouble and Schemes

Romance isn’t Carl’s only focus—he’s also been dabbling in dodgy MOT deals and car-stealing schemes. With accomplices Brody (Ryan Mulvey) and Dylan (Liam McCheyne), Carl’s life is a mix of charm, danger, and deception, leaving viewers guessing what he’ll do next.

A New Twist with Kit Green?

Spoilers for next week suggest another twist: Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) begins to suspect Carl’s behavior and vows to keep a close eye on him. The plot thickens when Kit spots Carl with criminal Fiona, prompting a tense confrontation. Fans on social media are already speculating that Carl and Kit’s interactions could spark a new romance. Comments on a Corrie Facebook fan page include:

• “Carl and Kit romance looming.”

• “It’s finally happening!”

• “Why not, Carl’s been with half the street by now!”

• “Finally getting my wish!”

With Carl’s complicated love life, criminal antics, and now the potential for a new relationship with Kit, Coronation Street continues to deliver the drama viewers crave. One thing is clear: wherever Carl goes, chaos—and intrigue—follows.
