Coronation Street fans are convinced that Abi Webster is going to end up pregnant following her one night stand with brother-in-law Carl
Coronation Street viewers are speculating a surprise pregnancy twist for Abi Webster, and they’re convinced they’ve figured out the real father of the baby.
Abi (played by Sally Carman-Duttine), who first graced our screens in 2017, has had a tumultuous time on the ITV soap in recent months.
Earlier this year, she was traumatised with PTSD after witnessing the brutal killing of Mason Radcliffe (portrayed by Luca Toolan) and began seeing visions of her deceased son Seb (Harry Visinoni).
Her husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) was subsequently diagnosed with testicular cancer, leaving her heartbroken. Around the same period, his long-lost brother Carl (Jonathan Howard), who had been residing in Germany for years, made an unexpected appearance on the cobbles.
However, Abi has recently been grappling with her feelings for her brother-in-law Carl, who hasn’t stopped pursuing her, reports OK!.
In a shocking twist, Kevin, despite receiving a clean bill of health from doctors, lied to Abi about still needing cancer treatment in a desperate attempt to prevent her from leaving him. In Monday’s episode (July 28), Abi discovered the truth and was appalled at Kevin’s deception and lies.
Enraged, she sought solace in Carl’s arms at the garage, and it wasn’t long before they shared a passionate kiss and took their relationship to the next level.
Later, Kevin reiterated his threat to report Carl to the police for dodgy MOT dealings at the garage, which frightened Carl away. Consequently, he ended things with Abi and urged her to return to Kevin.
Coronation Street enthusiasts are abuzz with speculation that Abi might be expecting, teasing a dramatic ‘who’s the daddy’ plot twist ahead. On a Corrie Facebook fan group, one member speculated: “Is Abi going to end up pregnant?”.
Another added fuel to the fire, commenting: “Oh dear another who’s the daddy then”. A third weighed in on the potential paternity drama, betting on Kevin: “My money would be on Kevin tbh.”
Echoing the sentiment, yet another fan expressed their hopes: “Yeah same, I don’t want her ending up with Carl!”.
