Corrie fans point out Abi's blunder as Imran rumbles her escape with baby Alfie

Coronation Street fans were amazed to see Kevin Webster appear to grow a full beard by the end the soap's latest instalment. Viewers were startled when the mechanic appeared to flit from a more clean-shaven look at the start of Friday night's episode to sporting a 'full beard' in less than hour.

Next week sees the return of Audrey Roberts' son Stephen Reid to Coronation Street after 15 years as fears about her drinking reach crisis point. Rita Tanner finds Audrey in the Rovers, enjoying her first drink of the day and she suggests it’s time Audrey went back to work.

Coronation Street fans went wild on Wednesday night after they recognised Toyah Battersby's solicitor, Kim Wallis, played by Rebecca Hesketh-Smith. Only recently, Imran Habeeb tragically died from his injuries sustained from the car crash after first rescuing Toyah from the wreckage and getting her to safety in an ambulance.

Coronation Street fans think they have figured out a new twist for Toyah Battersby after "working out" Imran Habeeb's real killer on the ITV soap. Only recently, Imran tragically died from his injuries sustained from the car crash after first rescuing Toyah from the wreckage and getting her to safety in an ambulance.

Coronation Street favourite Sally Carman looked a far cry from her mechanic character Abi Franklin as she struck a pose on the red carpet at The British Soap Awards. Sally, who is currently at the centre of the drama in Weatherfield in her fight for custody of her baby boy Alfie, swapped Abi's overalls for a glitzy black jumpsuit for the awards in London.

Weatherfield reels in the aftermath of the car crash that left viewers on the edge of their seats last week. Wednesday's episode of Coronation Street kicked off with a foreboding flashforward of Imran Habeen (played by Charlie de Melo) leaving a chilling message for girlfriend Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) in which he revealed everything he'd kept hidden.

Viewers last saw her slumped at the wheel of a car after a horror crash but Coronation Street's Toyah Habeeb star couldn't be further away from the drama. Actress Georgia Taylor has played the character in the ITV soap on and off since 1997.

Coronation Street actor Charlie De Melo has a fascinating life off screen, including his touching mission to raise guide dogs and a whirlwind romance with his co-star Nicola Thorp. He has played solicitor Imran Habeeb on the cobbles in Weatherfield for almost five years, and has reportedly quit the show. Most recently, his character was left unconscious after a horrific crash.

He may have had some involvement in the latest Coronation Street action but fans are talking about Kevin Webster for a whole other reason. This week viewers saw the mechanic trying to help wife Abi Franklin escape the country with her baby son, Alfie.

Coronation Street fans were left shocked and confused by the end of the latest trip to the cobbles. The ITV soap was back on screens on Tuesday night (May 31) for a half an hour episode in a change to its usual transmission and those tuning in were treated to more drama from Abi Fraklin, Imran Habeeb, and his wife Toyah.

Coronation Street left viewers in suspense on Tuesday night as the episode ended with Toyah Battersby and Imran Habeeb unconscious after a horrific car crash on the ITV soap. Soap watchers will have to wait until Friday to see how the accident happened as the special episode will be full of flashbacks to show what really happened in the lead-up to the fateful moment. However, this hasn't stopped viewers from filling in the blanks and predicting their own theories of what happened.

Since her arrival on the cobbles five years ago, it hasn't been a quiet time for Abi Franklin or the actress that plays her. Sally Carman made her Coronation Street debut in the role of the former drug addict in 2017 a year after on-screen son Seb Franklin, played by Harry Visinoni made his first appearance.

Imran Habeeb has been seen trying to save his new wife Toyah in a first look clip of upcoming Coronation Street scenes. The preview clip, taken from next Wednesday's edition of the ITV soap, shows the lawyer desperately trying to get his wife out the wreck of their car.

Coronation Street star Sally Carman looked completely different to her on-screen character as she made an appearance on a different TV show. The actress, who plays Abi Franklin in the ITV soap, appeared on This Morning on Friday (May 27) alongside on-screen husband Michael Le Vell, aka Kevin Webster.

Despite there being plenty of storylines going off on screen, Coronation Street fans couldn't help but be distracted by an everyday item. The latest trip to the cobbles on Wednesday night (May 25) featured a wet cement fight, some adoption news, and a worrying health scare.
