Coronation Street's Abi Webster, played by Sally Carman-Duttine, is on a mission for revenge against her ex-boyfriend Carl, as revealed by the stars themselves. The tension between the two characters is palpable, especially after Abi's explosive confrontation with Carl on the day of Debbie's wedding. Carl's web of lies, including his infidelity with James Bailey and his plans to escape Weatherfield, were exposed, leaving Abi heartbroken. But the real drama is yet to unfold.
In an exclusive interview with Inside Soap, Carman-Duttine and Jonathan Howard, who portrays Carl, shared their insights. Carman-Duttine hints at Abi's strategic plan, suggesting Carl should be worried. She believes Carl has underestimated Abi's capabilities, especially when pushed into a corner. Meanwhile, Carl, oblivious to the impending chaos, remains confident in his invincibility. The climax of this intense storyline is set for Monday's Corriedale episode, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
Howard adds, "Sally’s constantly reminding me of what Abi can do when she’s pushed into a corner!" This suggests that Abi's revenge might be more elaborate than initially thought. Despite Carl's lack of awareness, the actors are eager to see their characters' interactions unfold. Carman-Duttine expresses her desire for Abi's revenge to be thorough, hoping it will cause Carl as much pain and destruction as possible. On the other hand, Howard envisions a potential redemption arc for Carl, depending on his survival of the Corriedale crash.
The full interview, including behind-the-scenes insights into Corriedale, is available in the latest issue of Inside Soap. Coronation Street fans can catch the drama unfold on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 pm on ITV1, and stream it on ITVX.
