Hello everyone, and welcome back to the channel. Today’s Coronation Street update is truly heartbreaking. After months of lies, guilt, and secret passion, fan-favourite Abi Webster meets a devastating fate in one of the most emotional episodes of the year.

Tonight’s episode on ITV 1 delivers explosive scenes that will change Weatherfield forever. The truth about Abi’s forbidden affair with Carl Webster, her husband Kevin’s half-brother, finally explodes into the open — and the fallout ends in tragedy.

The night begins at Ronnie Bailey’s birthday party in the Rovers Return, where Kevin’s sister Debbie pulls him aside with a chilling warning. She doesn’t reveal everything she knows, but she hints that Abi has been keeping dark secrets and urges Kevin to protect himself before it’s too late. Nearby, Abi watches in panic, realising the walls are closing in.

In a desperate attempt to warn her lover, Abi grabs her phone and sends a frantic text: “Kev knows about us.” But fate intervenes — she sends the message to Kevin himself instead of Carl. Within seconds, the terrible mistake seals her fate. Kevin reads the message, his face draining of colour. The man who has stood by her through addiction, heartbreak, and loss finally sees proof of her betrayal.

Rage and devastation consume him as he storms out of the Rovers and heads straight home. Abi tries to intercept him, but Carl is too late to cover her tracks. Kevin bursts through the door, waving his phone and demanding answers. “How long, Abi? How long have you been lying to me?” he shouts. The confrontation is brutal — years of trust shatter in a single moment.

Carl rushes to intervene, but Kevin turns on him too, throwing him out of the house and vowing that neither of them will ever set foot there again. Abi, sobbing and broken, chases after Kevin into the street, pleading for forgiveness — but he’s gone. Moments later, viewers are left stunned as a tragic accident unfolds. Distraught and distracted, Abi steps into the road without looking and is struck by an oncoming car.

The impact is devastating. Paramedics rush to the scene, but it’s too late. Abi Webster is pronounced dead at just 37. The woman who survived so many battles — addiction, grief, even jail — loses her life because of one fatal mistake.

Back at the hospital, Kevin sits in shock beside her body, unable to process what’s happened. Debbie weeps, realising that her warning set everything in motion. Carl blames himself, telling police that if he had ended the affair earlier, Abi would still be alive.

The episode closes with a haunting montage of Abi’s life — her laughter, her tears, and her fierce love for her family. Fans have flooded social media with heartbreak and disbelief. “Abi deserved a happy ending,” wrote one viewer. “She’s been through too much to go out like this.”

Actress Sally Carman-Duttine, who has played Abi since 2017, said she was “heartbroken but proud” of the storyline, calling it “a beautiful but devastating goodbye.”

As Weatherfield mourns one of its most beloved residents, one thing is clear — Coronation Street will never be the same again. 💐
