Coronation Street will air emotional scenes between Kevin Webster and Sally Metcalfe next week, as Kevin’s testicular cancer storyline continues.

Corrie‘s new producer Kate Brooks confirmed late last year that Kevin would be diagnosed with cancer in 2025, and Kevin has already been attending hospital appointments after discovering a lump.

In scenes that will air on Wednesday, February 12 and Friday, February 14, Kevin realises that his wife Abi is struggling too much with her mental health to be able to come to his latest appointment with him.

As a result, Kevin’s ex-wife Sally agrees to go with Kevin to receive his test results, following Kevin supporting her through her own cancer battle back in 2009.

The consultant confirms Kevin’s results with him and tells him that he will need to have an operation, leading Kevin to rush out.

Later in the week, Kevin decides it’s time to share his results with his son, Jack. How will Jack react to his dad’s news?

Kate Brooks has told Digital Spy and other media that Kevin’s cancer diagnosis will put “a massive strain on his relationship” due to Abi’s struggles following Mason Radcliffe’s death.

“Abi is a really strong character, but she’s going through her own turmoil at the same time,” Brooks explained, adding: “Ultimately, it’s about Kevin and Abi’s relationship and testing that relationship.”

Brooks also spoke about Kevin’s attitude towards his diagnosis, saying that he will be “quite open about it”.

“Kevin talks to Tim and Steve about it and they all have their own way of handling it,” she said.

Kevin’s storyline comes ahead of several big stories for the Websters this year, with Kevin’s sister Debbie due to be diagnosed with dementia this year. The pair will also welcome their previously unseen half-brother, Carl, to the cobbles in 2025.
