SOAPS UPDATE: Debbie and Carla Set for Explosive SHOWDOWN on Coronation Street—Kevin’s Web of Lies Threatens to Tear Everything Apart. SECRETS Unravel, Loyalties Tested: Who Will Survive the Brewing Storm?
Kevin Webster’s cancer lie threatens to be exposed on Coronation Street next week when Debbie makes a life-changing decision so she can help her brother – not realising he’s keeping a shocking secret about his condition.
Determined to support her brother through the next part of his cancer journey, Debbie puts in a ridiculous offer for No.6 so she can move in across the road from Kev.
Her rash actions have huge consequences, but will it shame Kev into coming clean about what’s really going on?
“The longer this lie continues, the more Kevin regrets it,” begins our Corrie insider. “Kev is using his health to fight for his and Abi’s marriage, knowing she’s attracted to Carl, but he hadn’t banked on how it would affect the rest of his family.
“Debbie’s dementia symptoms are already a cause for concern, and believing her brother is still fighting cancer could push her over the edge.”

When doctors recently gave Kevin the all-clear, he pretended to Abi that his chemo hadn’t worked and he needed more aggressive treatment.
Kevin’s fib was borne out of his paranoia that his missus has the hots for his little brother, and was a twisted way of stopping her from cheating on him.
Now everyone on the street, apart from Tyrone Dobbs, thinks Kevin is facing another gruelling session of chemotherapy, when in actual fact his cancer has gone completely.
Disapproving Ty urges his mate to be honest, and Kevin insists he’ll put Abi straight once they get back from their upcoming romantic weekend away, which thoughtful Abi booked to take her hubby’s mind off his illness.

Meanwhile, Debbie is determined to be there for her ‘sickly’ sibling, and her fiancée Ronnie Bailey is worried about her behaviour.
“Debbie has put an offer in on No.6 so she can be nearer her brother,” reveals our insider. “However, when Carla outbids her on the property, she’s absolutely fuming.
“Debbie tells Ronnie she’ll do whatever it takes to be closer to Kev in his hour of need – and she means it.”
Ronnie fears Debbie is letting her emotions get the better of her. Refusing to be gazumped by Carla, Debbie announces the gloves are off and makes an insanely high offer on the house that could make a serious dent in her finances.

Bemused Ronnie tries to talk some sense into his fired-up other half, but she insists that she’s a successful businesswoman who knows how to clinch a deal and orders him to keep his nose out.
Going behind his partner’s back, Ronnie explains to Kevin how Debbie’s desire to live on the Street so she can support him has become an obsession that’s affecting her judgement – not realising Kev has been given a clean bill of health.
“Kevin feels so ashamed,” our source adds. “He didn’t mean for this to get so out of hand, or to worry everybody so much.
“Taking Debbie aside, he pleads with her not to make any hasty decisions because of him, reassuring her he’s got enough help on hand.”
Has he done enough to stop Debbie bankrupting herself? And when he eventually confesses all to Abi, will his deceit end up driving her into Carl’s arms?
