STREET SIZZLE Carl ATTEMPTS TO SEDUCE Abi In NEW Coronation Street PLOT Leaving Her TORN BETWEEN DESIRE AND DANGER
Coronation Street‘s Carl Webster makes a move on his sister-in-law Abi next week, after he decides it’s time for them to finally be honest about their passionate feelings towards each other.
At the garage, Tracy McDonald lays it on thick and flirts with Carl in a desperate attempt to make ex-husband Steve jealous – but it’s Abi who’s left green-eyed as she watches on.
Abi’s jealousy rises when scam artist Fiona texts Carl asking to meet up and conduct some business, and Abi wrongly assumes she’s his girlfriend…
“Abi has absolutely no right to be jealous when it comes to Carl’s courtships, considering she’s married to his brother,” our Corrie source points out.

“After Abi’s mental health struggles and Kevin’s cancer, the spark has been somewhat snuffed out in their relationship, but the worst possible person Abi could fall for is conman Carl.”
When Fiona calls Carl on the garage phone, Tracy’s ears prick up as he hears him describe himself as the boss.
With smitten Tracy left wondering what he’s up to, coy Carl cosies up to her – but when he leaves, Abi advises Tracy to steer clear of the mechanic, branding him a serial womaniser.
When he finds out about her meddling, fuming Carl confronts Abi over her attempts to sabotage his chances with Tracy – and, in the heat of the moment, he accuses her of fancying him.

“Carl’s just actually saying what both of them have been feeling for weeks,” our insider adds.
“Of course, Abi point-blank denies having any flirty feelings for Carl, and threatens to tell Kevin everything if he doesn’t back off, but Carl’s not fazed.
“He boldly tells Abi that it’s time they both be honest about their growing feelings, before chancing his luck and leaning in for a cheeky snog.

“Having it off with your brother’s wife is nothing new on the Street, especially not from a cad like Carl, but Abi should definitely know better…”
With her secret crush’s face just inches away, will Abi give in to temptation and kiss him back, or will she squash her unexpected desires and do right by Kevin?
