Coronation Street star confirms predicted plot twist is not happening

No reunion?! (Picture: ITV/Danielle Baguley/Shutterstock) We all thought Abi and Kevin Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine and Michael Le Vell) would end up back together in Coronation Street, didn’t we? After all, it’s pretty clear Abi regrets everything she did to bring about the end of their marriage, namely, having an affair with Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), Kevin’s nephew who he originally believed to be his brother. Abi was left in quite the pickle after the illicit fling was exposed and Carl almost immediately lost interest – without the thrill of knowing it was ‘wrong’, it turned out he just wasn’t that interested. In fact, when Abi moved in with him alongside her young son Alfie, he immediately decided that family life wasn’t for him and continued knocking off James Bailey (Jason Callender) at every possible opportunity, while planning to flee the country and leave her alone. Though the incredibly broken ties between the Webster clan have been slightly repaired and Abi and Kevin are on much better terms, viewers have wondered if there’ll be a reconcilliation. According to Abi actress Sally, though, there won’t be one. Kevin and Abi won’t be getting back together (Picture: Danielle Baguley/ITV) ‘I don’t think it’s a reunion’s on the cards, but I’m doing everything in scenes [to make it happen], I put my hands round him even when I’m not supposed to – I was being noticed, are we getting back together? No, she’s just playing up, but I will continue to do so,’ she admitted in an interview with Radio Times. A big reason she’s pushing for the Websters to fix things? The opportunity to be paired with show legend, Michael Le Vell again: ‘It’d be lovely to work with Mike again. ‘I just love working with Mike, he’s just all over it, and he’s so straight, and he’s funny, and again, another legend, there’s just an instant respect that comes with that, because you’re not here for that amount of years just by accident.

Sally spoke on being part of the special ‘Debbie’s Angels’ episode (Picture: Danielle Baguley/ITV) Speaking on her delight at being part of the episode, Sally said: ‘You know when birds fly in a formation, there’s always one at the front, and there’s always one at the back, supported by the ones at the front, it felt like that. ‘It felt like I was at the back just watching these powerhouses smash it, and I got to be a little part of it. I couldn’t have been happier.’ ‘That’s the thing about all these strong women, they’re only strong because they allow themselves to be vulnerable. ‘I remember Bet Gilroy with a cigarette holder, and she’s in the back room of the pub, and she had a breakdown over some fella and she had no money, she looked like sh*t, she is absolutely wrecked, rock bottom, vulnerable as anything, but you just felt the strength.’ Deals of the Day Cold mornings are coming and this is the dressing gown I want to live in We're adding this discounted NEOM gift set straight to basket Want an LED face mask for less?
