Coronation Street fans have been left stunned by the latest twist in Carl Webster's reign of terror, as a surprise character emerges to bring him to justice. In scenes available early on ITVX, Carl's web of lies begins to unravel after he framed his aunt Debbie for a devastating car crash.
Carl, played by Jonathan Howard, has caused chaos since arriving on the cobbles, stealing his cousin Kevin's wife Abi, cheating on her with James Bailey, and involving teenagers in a car theft scam. His most heinous act came when he caused a pile-up while drunk and moved an unconscious Debbie into the driver's seat to take the blame.
Despite Debbie's dementia, Carl manipulated her into confessing to the crash, leading to her being charged with death by dangerous driving. He then attempted to flee with stolen money, only to discover Abi had taken it. When confronted, Abi exposed his affair with James, but Debbie continued to cover for him.
However, a new player is poised to expose Carl's crimes. In upcoming episodes, a character will uncover evidence of his thefts and the crash, leading to his downfall. The identity of this hero remains a closely guarded secret, but sources hint it could be someone from Carl's past or a resident with a score to settle.
As the drama unfolds, fans are eagerly awaiting the moment Carl finally gets his comeuppance. With Debbie's loyalty wavering and Abi determined to see him punished, the stage is set for a dramatic showdown on the cobbles.
