It’s a tough week for Abi Webster in Coronation Street scenes set to air next week.
Abi (Sally Carmen) switches on the TV to hear the presenter singing the praises of Corey Brent, her son’s killer, and his football prowess. She watches in horror as Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) is forced to reveal that Corey is playing for his prison football team.
Having watched the documentary, painting Corey as a hero, Abi’s incandescent. Abi and Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) call at the TV company responsible for the documentary and barge their way into the Producer’s office demanding answers.

As Nina and Abi check the Gazette website, taking comfort from the supportive comments, they’re pleased to see that a petition has been started demanding the documentary be scrapped.
Dean Turnbull (Anthony Crank) calls at the garage and tells Abi that he’s hit a bad patch and needs her help. Abi sends him packing as Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) watches on. In the office Tyrone opens an email and is horrified by its contents. He tells Abi he has some shocking news. Abi’s horrified to see that the sex video has been uploaded to other websites.
Cassie lets slip to Kevin how she saw Abi arguing with Dean the drug dealer shortly before the sex video was released and then overheard her arranging to meet him to hand over cash. Abi meets Dean and brandishing a wrench, accuses him of making the sex tape. Dean insists he has no idea what she’s talking about but a furious Abi doesn’t believe him.
Kevin arrives and orders Abi to drop the wrench. As Dean is taken in for police questioning, Abi learns four more videos have been uploaded. But as she studies the footage Abi realises it’s not actually her, they’re all deep fakes but who is responsible?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
