Coronation Street fans believe they’ve worked out Kevin Webster’s new romance, and they are delighted.
ITV soap viewers will know that Abi (Sally Carman) had an affair with Kevin’s (Michael Le Vell) younger brother, Carl (Jonathan Howard).
After months of keeping their romance a secret, Kevin soon learned about the affair when Abi accidentally sent him a text that was meant for Carl.
The message exposed their infidelity to the family, leading to an explosive argument, which ended with Kevin ordering Abi to leave his life.
Abi and her young son Alfie (Carter and Oakley Razak Townsend) soon moved in with Roy Cropper (David Neilson) above the café, with Kevin left struggling to cope at number 13, reports the Liverpool Echo.
On Monday (November 10), it was revealed that Abi had managed to rent Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) old flat.
She began organising her belongings, with several locals commenting on how odd it was that Carl wasn’t around to help her.
While calling round to see his friend Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), Kevin spoke about his split from Abi, saying: “I’m just trying to get through it, aren’t I? It’s just a bit of a struggle. I still care for her… Yes, I know I must be daft, but I can’t help it.”
Now, several Corrie fans are convinced that Kevin might form a new romantic connection with Rovers barmaid Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger).
Kevin notably tried to kiss Glenda shortly after learning about Abi’s affair, which led to Glenda asking his sister Debbie (Sue Devaney) to check on him.
Glenda has since cleared the air with Kevin, and looks out for him whenever he goes to the Rovers.
“We have seen how close Glenda’s friendship with Debbie Webster has developed over the months. Glenda deserves a decent love interest. Kevin’s messed up attempt to kiss Glenda was cringey. Given time could Glenda be what Kevin needs? A good, loyal woman,” one person wrote on a Facebook fan page.
“There’s isn’t much choice on the Street for Glenda. Could Kevin be a potential love interest?”
Another added: “Opposites attract… so it is said so who knows? The way soaps are going anything is possible. Hope Glenda finds love,” while a third said: “She’d be great for him after his last few disasters.”
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “I agree. Kevin needs to try something new. Most of the women Kevin has chosen has had their own baggage. In some cases he has taken on. Glenda doesn’t seem to be a bad match for him.”
