Abi heads on holiday with Kevin and his son Jack and it doesn’t take long for Carl to look elsewhere.
He spends the night with James Bailey, who recently split from partner Danny.
With no qualms about exploring new connections, the pair agree to see each other again.
These scenes play out in tonight’s episode – which has already dropped on ITVX.
Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl, said: “Carl likes living life on the edge, he is a hedonist and a free spirit, he is attracted to a person regardless of their gender and if he sees something he wants he goes for it with no real thought to the consequences of his actions.
“He is frustrated that Abi has gone away with Kevin and he needs something to distract himself.
“There is a spark between him and James so he goes for it.
“Tracy was also offering herself to him but he isn’t stupid and he knows that would be a dangerous move, James on the other hand is less complicated and more fun.”
It comes as Tracy has been blackmailing Abi and Carl after discovering their affair.
But is Carl risking everything with this latest fling?
