Coronation Street fans think they have worked out Abi Franklin's surprise newborn baby Alfie's teddy bear name after a sweet scene on the ITV soap. Last week, soap watchers were left in tears as Abi, who gave birth three months early after a surprise pregnancy, revealed she had called her baby Alfie as it was the name of her late son Seb's favourite teddy bear when he was little.
Soap fans will recall that Seb was tragically killed last year in a harrowing hate crime storyline and Abi has been mourning for her late son since his death. During the latest instalment, Abi told Toyah Battersby, who doesn't know her partner Imran Habeeb is the father, that she had called her baby Alfie and that she still needed to buy him a teddy.

To which Abi actress Sally Carman replied to the fan, writing: "Ooooh" with a thinking emoji.
