Coronation Street fans are bracing themselves for a whirlwind of drama as speculation explodes around Abi Webster, Carl Webster, and the tangled web of affairs that threatens to rip the cobbles apart. The latest buzz suggests that Abi might be hiding a life-altering secret — she could be pregnant, and the baby may very well belong to Carl.
For months now, viewers have been keeping a sharp eye on Carl, who seems unable to keep himself out of scandal. His wandering heart has already led him down dangerous paths, most notably his ongoing entanglement with his brother Kevin’s wife, Abi. Their secret rendezvous nearly destroyed Kevin’s trust once before, and it seems their reckless passion may now have even more devastating consequences.
Not long ago, Kevin had been planning the perfect family holiday to Mallorca. He wanted nothing more than to whisk Abi and their loved ones away for some much-needed sunshine. But Abi, caught in her own guilty desires, made up a lie about misplacing her passport. Instead of packing for Spain, she stayed behind and arranged a private meeting with Carl. The pair thought they had outsmarted everyone, but fate had other plans.
Through the kitchen window, Tracy Barlow caught the two sharing a kiss. Never one to stay quiet, Tracy wasted no time cornering them with threats of exposure. Kevin, oblivious to his wife’s betrayal, was only a breath away from discovering the truth. But Tracy, ever cunning, decided to twist the knife deeper. She demanded £10,000 in exchange for her silence.
Carl, panicked and desperate, scrambled for solutions. With divorce proceedings already draining his finances, he came up with a reckless scheme — stealing cars from the garage to raise the money. Abi, furious at Tracy’s blackmail but equally terrified of losing Kevin, found herself trapped in a moral and emotional storm.
Yet while fans were still reeling from this affair, another theory began to swirl across social media. After Carl exchanged phone numbers with fitness coach James Bailey, some viewers became convinced that Carl had yet another secret romance brewing. James has recently been dropping hints about a new boyfriend, and fans are speculating that Carl could be that mystery man. If true, Carl’s betrayal wouldn’t just be a double-cross against Kevin but a scandal stretching even further into Weatherfield’s close-knit community.
On Reddit, one fan wrote: “I swear Carl’s second affair is with James. Remember when they swapped numbers for training? James keeps going on about a new boyfriend — what if it’s Carl?” Another chimed in, “That would be a brilliant twist. I’d actually love it if Abi ends up pregnant while Carl’s sneaking around with James at the same time.”
And now, the whispers have reached fever pitch. Abi’s behavior has shifted — she’s distracted, emotional, and increasingly uneasy whenever Carl is mentioned. This has led to the explosive theory: Abi is pregnant, and the baby could be Carl’s. If true, the fallout will be catastrophic. How could Kevin possibly forgive either of them if such a betrayal comes to light? And would Carl even claim responsibility, especially while juggling blackmail from Tracy and suspicion about James?
As if that weren’t enough chaos, Coronation Street is also set to say goodbye to Adam Hussain, who plays Aadi Alahan. Adam has already filmed his emotional exit, but fans are now watching closely to see how his departure will unfold alongside these shocking storylines. Off-screen, Adam has secured a role in a moving short film titled Spice for Life, proving that even as he exits Weatherfield, his career is only just beginning.
Back on the cobbles, though, Carl’s schemes spiral further out of control. As he ropes Brody and Dylan into his shady car-theft operation, Tracy continues to push for her payoff. But her sharp tongue may finally backfire — with Debbie Webster overhearing a suspicious conversation and demanding answers. Will Debbie end up exposing Carl and Abi’s betrayal to Kevin before Abi herself reveals the pregnancy bombshell?
Meanwhile, other residents of Weatherfield face their own turmoil. Carla Connor’s attempt to propose to DS Lisa Swain could be overshadowed by Carl’s mounting scandals. George Shuttleworth finds himself torn between Jenny and Christina, while Nina grows increasingly worried about Asha’s struggles after a heartbreaking loss. Everywhere you look, secrets are cracking open.
Yet it’s the possibility of Abi’s pregnancy that overshadows everything else. If the whispers prove true, Weatherfield is heading straight into one of its most explosive scandals in years. Fans know that Abi has always carried a complicated past filled with loss, redemption, and resilience. But becoming pregnant with her brother-in-law’s child would test her like never before.
Will Abi confess to Kevin before the truth comes out another way? Could she keep the father’s identity a secret and pass the baby off as Kevin’s? Or will Carl, already cornered by blackmail and suspicion, step up and admit to everything, blowing his family apart once and for all?
One thing is certain — Coronation Street is preparing for fireworks. With Abi’s potential pregnancy, Carl’s shady dealings, Tracy’s blackmail, and whispers of a secret romance with James, the cobbles are on the verge of a massive implosion. Fans will not want to miss a single moment as loyalties are tested, lies unravel, and lives are forever changed.
In Weatherfield, secrets never stay buried. And when Abi’s shocking pregnancy truth finally explodes, it will leave Kevin, Carl, and the entire community reeling in ways none of them could have imagined.
