Coronation Street's Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) is set to struggle with her feelings for Kevin's brother Carl (Jonathan Howard) when he moves into No.9 next week. The pair first met in a car park and shared an instant spark, unaware they were related.
Actress Sally Carman-Duttine said: 'They had this shock meeting where they ran into each other in the car park and there was instant electricity, a spark. Then he turned up in her life and turned out to be Kevin's brother, which was gutting because he'd awakened something in her.'
Abi, a recovering addict, finds the adrenaline rush tempting. 'With her being an addict, there was that rush, that adrenaline that she hasn't had for a very long time,' Carman-Duttine added.
Next week, Kevin invites Carl to stay, and Abi struggles being under the same roof. She tells Carl to make himself scarce so she can have time alone with Kevin after his chemo session. Later, she storms to the Rovers after Carl answers Kevin's phone, accusing him of ruining her afternoon.
Carl confides in Abi that his business in Germany is about to go bust. Abi assures him Kevin will understand if he needs to leave, but Kevin is gutted and offers to help—a decision he may regret.
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday 14 April at 8pm on ITV1 or stream first from 7am on ITVX.
