Abi Webster (Sally Carman) tries to take control of a situation in Coronation Street soon as the chemistry between her and Carl (Jonathan Howard) continues.
Carl and Abi first bumped into each other – quite literally – in the supermarket carpark, and the vibe between them was instant.
Things became more complicated when they discovered that they were actually connected, with Carl’s brother being Abi’s husband, Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell).
Though they have tried to keep their distance, it is clear there is still a spark between them.
In this new video, we see the moment Abi attempts to push Carl away by saying that she wouldn’t ever be interested in him.
Carl admits that he can’t get Abi out of his head and knows it’s terrible to fancy his brother’s partner, but he seemingly cannot make those feelings go away.
Abi tells Carl to back off, but he seems adamant whatever they’ve got going on isn’t going to end just yet.
But is Carl right? What will happen next between him and Abi?
‘She’s been given this whole life with Kevin, the kids are secure, she’s got a child now who’s safe and she’s all sorted. Her life is calm and loving, and that is something she’s craved for’, star Sally Carman said previously.
‘But a massive part of who Abi is is dangerous. There’s the addiction element; she thrives on risk-taking and danger. That part of her life, which was dormant, has now come up. There’s like an animal inside her and she’s absolutely fighting this with everything she’s got.’
‘I’m reading it [the scripts] thinking poor Kevin but I’m also thinking poor Abi because she’s really fighting it, telling him to go away and leave her alone but he’s just pursuing her relentlessly,’ Sally teased.
