Coronation Street’s Sally Carman Teases Explosive Abi Showdown After Carl’s Affair Exposed
Coronation Street is heading for fireworks as Sally Carman has revealed how her character, Abi Webster, will react when she discovers the shocking truth about Carl’s double betrayal.
Abi has been sneaking around with her husband Kevin’s brother, Carl Webster, in a dangerous affair. But what she doesn’t know is that Carl has also been secretly bedding James behind her back — and the truth is set to blow up in spectacular fashion.
“The Abi of Old” Returns
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Sally Carman teased that Abi won’t take Carl’s betrayal lightly. In fact, she suggested fans might see a return of Abi’s fiery past.
“I would like to see the Abi of old come out when she used to blow cars up, put plates of spaghetti over people’s heads, and hold guns to people’s heads,” she said. “I’m up for anything, so let’s see.”
The actress promised “fireworks” when Abi finally learns the truth, warning Carl will face the full force of her wrath: “Corrie is full of surprises. Let’s see what happens, anything could happen — but it’s not the obvious, I would say. There will certainly be fireworks.”
Carl’s Double Life Unravels
Carl Webster (played by Jonathan Howard) has been living recklessly since arriving in Weatherfield, hopping from bed to bed in a string of passionate encounters. But the affair with Abi — alongside his steamy fling with James — has left him with everything to lose.
Howard himself recently teased that things are about to get even steamier before Carl’s downfall, joking that sex scenes have become a “running joke” on set.
“A lot more sex, Carl is definitely going to have a lot more sex, he’s going to enjoy himself,” he said. “But his impulsiveness and selfishness is going to catch up with him for sure.”
Will Abi and Kevin Reunite?
While Abi and Kevin Webster’s marriage has collapsed, Sally Carman suggested that their story together isn’t over just yet.
“I have it on good authority that I will still be working with Le Vell [Kevin’s actor] in some capacity, so I’m happy,” she revealed. “Abi and Kevin were just a brilliant mismatched, perfect-for-each-other couple. I’d like there to be a future.”
For now, though, Abi is on a collision course with the truth — and when it comes out, Carl might just wish he’d never set foot on the cobbles.
