Hello, Coronation Street fans! Buckle up, because the cobbles are about to shake with emotional heartbreak, deceit, and jaw-dropping confessions. In upcoming episodes, Abi Webster’s world spirals into turmoil once again as the fragile foundation of her relationship with Carl begins to crumble. After taking a massive leap of faith and abandoning her marriage to Kevin, Abi finds herself questioning whether she’s made the worst mistake of her life.

After months of turbulence, Abi thought she’d finally found her peace with Carl, her brother-in-law, who offered what seemed like a new start. But things take a darker turn when Carl’s enthusiasm for their relationship begins to fade. Having left her old life — and a devastated Kevin — behind, Abi moves into Carl’s hotel room with little Alfie, hoping they can finally settle down. Yet, cracks begin to appear almost immediately. Carl, once charming and supportive, starts to distance himself emotionally, overwhelmed by Abi’s presence and the responsibilities that come with caring for a child.

In one of the most tension-filled scenes, Carl approaches Abi with unexpected news: he’s spoken to Roy Cropper, who has offered Abi and Alfie a temporary place to stay in his flat. The gesture might sound generous, but for Abi, it’s a painful signal that Carl could be trying to push her away. “You and Alfie can stay with Roy,” he says, explaining that he needs to remain nearby to support his sister Debbie. Abi, her voice breaking, refuses to believe what she’s hearing. “Absolutely not, Carl. We’ve waited too long to be together. We’ve already turned our lives upside down for this — for us. Are you having second thoughts?” she demands.

Carl, visibly uncomfortable, tries to mask his unease with half-hearted reassurance, but Abi’s instincts tell her something’s off. Kevin’s earlier warning — that Carl is not as trustworthy as he seems — suddenly starts to echo in her mind. Abi’s fiery determination to prove everyone wrong may now be leading her straight into heartbreak. Viewers can expect some heart-wrenching moments as Abi’s illusions of a fairytale romance begin to fall apart.

Meanwhile, Coronation Street producers have teased that Abi is completely in the dark about Carl’s explosive secret — his affair with James Bailey. According to producer Kate Brooks, the affair storyline will unravel just as the festive season hits Weatherfield, setting up a dramatic series of revelations. “Abi has no idea what’s been going on,” Brooks explained. “There’s a lot brewing under the surface, and once the truth comes out, it’ll change everything.”

As Abi struggles to hold her life together, Weatherfield is also saying goodbye to a familiar face. Actress Chenique Sterling-Brown, known for playing Dee Bailey, has confirmed her exit from the show after three intense years filled with emotional storylines. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Chenique reflected on her time in Coronation Street, writing, “It’s bittersweet to be saying goodbye to the cobbles, but I’m so excited for what’s next. Playing Dee has been an honor.”

Dee’s journey has been one of heartbreak and resilience. After surviving an abusive relationship with solicitor Joel Daring — who groomed teenager Lauren Bolton and later died at her hands in self-defense — Dee’s life spiraled into chaos. Discovering she was pregnant with Joel’s child, she made the heart-wrenching decision to have her brother James adopt the baby. Now co-parenting little Laya, Dee is finally beginning to heal, but fans have sensed trouble brewing with newcomer Ali, who seems to have mysterious motives. “Dee’s cautious,” Chenique told Metro. “She’s learned to trust her instincts, but Ali’s behavior is triggering all her warning signs.”

Her departure marks just one of several major cast exits shaking up Coronation Street. Longtime cast members including Shelley King, Sally Anne Matthews, and Helen Worth have also stepped away, while others such as Daniel Brocklebank (Billy Mayhew) are rumored to be next. Producers are keeping tight-lipped about how Dee’s exit will unfold, but they promise her final scenes will be both emotional and powerful — a fitting farewell to a character who’s endured so much.

But that’s not the only storm brewing on the cobbles. The return of Becky Swain has set off alarm bells across Weatherfield. Once presumed dead, Becky’s shocking reappearance on her daughter Betsy’s eighteenth birthday left Lisa Swain reeling. Claiming she had been in witness protection after a botched undercover operation, Becky tried to charm her way back into Lisa’s life. However, it turns out Becky’s motives are far from pure.

Producer Kate Brooks has confirmed what many fans feared: Becky isn’t a misunderstood survivor — she’s a manipulative villain. “She’s come back knowing exactly what she wants,” Brooks revealed. “Becky wants her family back. She wants Lisa, and she wants Carla Connor out of the picture.” Beneath her soft-spoken demeanor lies a cunning mind, capable of emotional manipulation and deception. Using shared memories and nostalgia, Becky begins to toy with Lisa’s emotions, convincing her to question everyone around her — especially Carla.

Carla, ever perceptive, senses the danger from the start. But as usual, no one seems to believe her until it’s too late. Becky’s manipulation grows bolder, setting off a dangerous chain of events that could put Lisa and Carla directly in her crosshairs. “Becky’s not the hero she pretends to be,” Brooks warned. “She’s capable of anything — and by the time everyone realizes the truth, it might be too late.”

The upcoming Coronation Street episodes promise to be an emotional rollercoaster. Abi’s relationship disintegrates as Carl’s lies come to light, forcing her to seek solace with Kevin — the man she left behind. Dee faces her final days in Weatherfield, unsure of what the future holds, while Becky’s sinister agenda threatens to tear apart yet another family. With heartbreak, betrayal, and shocking revelations on the horizon, Coronation Street continues to prove that no secret stays buried for long on the cobbles.

Fans can catch all the drama on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8:00 PM on ITV1, and stream the latest episodes anytime on ITVX. Grab your popcorn, because Weatherfield is about to deliver its most emotional storm yet.
