Coronation Street lines up a tense night as Abi and Carl Webster’s affair faces its most dangerous challenge yet. The pair have taken reckless chances to keep their secret alive, but now someone in Weatherfield has caught them out. As the truth edges closer to spilling, Tracy Barlow steps in with her own agenda, and her demands could push Abi and Carl into a corner they never expected.

A Secret Romance Under Threat

To begin with, Abi stayed on the Street while Kevin jetted off to Mallorca, lying that she had lost her passport. At the same time, Carl claimed he was heading to Wales, but he never left. Instead, he holed up with Abi, enjoying every moment they managed to steal together.

For a while, their stories appeared watertight. However, Tracy kept a watchful eye and quickly sensed that Abi was hiding something. Determined to dig deeper, she decided to investigate. As a result, her suspicions soon paid off. Tracy spied on her neighbour, and before long, she pieced the truth together. Consequently, the private world Abi and Carl built started to crumble under her scrutiny.

Tracy Turns the Tables

When tonight’s episode arrives, Tracy finally gets the proof she wanted. She peers through the Webster kitchen door and catches Abi and Carl kissing, confirming everything she suspected. From that moment, she knows she holds the upper hand, and she wastes no time making threats. Immediately, Abi panics when Tracy vows to tell Kevin. Carl steps in, hoping to calm the storm, and asks her directly what it would take to keep her quiet.

Without hesitation, Tracy seizes the opportunity and sets out her price. She explains that she is in the middle of a divorce and insists she needs financial help in return for her silence. Even then, Abi pleads with her to remember their friendship. Nevertheless, Tracy snaps back that the friendship only suited Abi when it worked in her favour. She reminds Abi that she once tried to pursue Carl while Abi laughed behind her back. Finally, with a cold smile, Tracy delivers her demand, £10,000 or the truth comes out.

Coronation Street Teases A Dangerous Scheme!

Meanwhile, Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl, revealed that his character has no idea how dangerous Tracy really is. He explained that Carl believes he can control her, not fully understanding the scale of her ruthlessness. On the other hand, Abi knows better. She warns Carl not to underestimate Tracy, reminding him of her reputation for chaos and destruction.

Howard added that Carl was stunned when he learned that Tracy had killed before, showing just how naïve he remains about her true nature. Ultimately, with Tracy setting the terms, Abi and Carl’s secret affair dangles by a thread. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
