Coronation Street has delivered relentless drama throughout 2026 with the Corriedale crash, newcomer Jodie Ramsay and Carl Webster’s

web of deception finally unravelling. This week’s instalments showed Kevin Webster battling after his wife, Abi Webster, abandoned him for his brother, Carl, only to end things with Carl upon uncovering his deceit.

 

 

Kevin is also grappling with the knowledge of all Carl’s falsehoods, including the hit and run that almost claimed Tyrone Dobbs’ life and substituting sister Debbie Webster in the vehicle following his drink driving collision during Corriedale. Nevertheless, he lacks adequate proof to substantiate these matters, and Debbie, who was lately exposed as Carl’s biological mother, won’t entertain any criticism of him and has even accepted blame for the collision despite knowing full well Carl was truly at fault.

In heartbreaking sequences this week, Abi discovered Kevin sleeping in a customer’s vehicle and shared her concerns with Debbie, as it’s evident he’s neglecting himself and his enterprise.

Meanwhile, only lately, Roy Cropper has formed a “strong bond” with a woman called Alice. Roy had been exchanging letters with inmates as part of a pen pal initiative, and he subsequently began writing to a woman named Alice, whose son is imprisoned.

However, it was quickly exposed that ‘Alice’ is not all she seems… During Thursday’s instalment, a man in his fifties arrived at the cafe and introduced himself as Mal, revealing to Roy that he’s Alice’s husband, leaving a stunned Roy attempting to clarify the situation, which left Mal heartbroken. Mal disclosed they had been married for 31 years and had three children before departing the cafe abruptly after striking Roy.

Meanwhile, after a disagreement with husband Dev Alahan following her directing her sorrow towards him, Bernie Winter embarked on a drunken evening out with the girls.

Bernie consumed multiple shots before declaring she was heading home. Nevertheless, she quickly became sidetracked at the Chariot Square bar, where she consumed even more shots and alcohol.

At this juncture, Alice’s husband, Mal, accompanied her to the bar and, after making his acquaintance, revealed that his wife had been conducting an affair. The pair became increasingly intoxicated and proceeded to Mal’s hotel room for an after-hours gathering, where they consumed drugs.

Nevertheless, after Mal made an advance towards Bernie, which she rebuffed, the episode abruptly concluded with Bernie unconscious in a toilet cubicle at a nightclub with no clarification as to how she arrived there or what transpired during the intervening period.

Matters became even more uncomfortable when Mal approached Bernie on the cobbles after their evening together, particularly as he’s the electrician who’s been summoned to repair the electricity in Roy’s flat.

Meanwhile, with the unexpected appearance of Shona Platt’s estranged sister Jodie, it seems she’s concealing numerous secrets.
