“Kevin Webster may jeopardize his closest relationships as his dangerous lie and manipulative behavior spiral beyond his control.”
ITV’s Coronation Street continues this week with more drama from Kevin Webster’s (Michael Le Vell) ongoing storyline. The Weatherfield mechanic finds himself entangled in a series of lies as he desperately tries to salvage his marriage to Abi (Sally Carman), who’s currently being charmed by Kevin’s manipulative brother, Carl (Jonathan Howard).
In a dramatic turn of events, it’s been revealed that Kevin—who is battling cancer—plans to use his illness to emotionally sway Abi into staying with him. In Wednesday’s episode, Abi confessed that she wants to leave Kevin but feels compelled to wait until he gets the all-clear before breaking the news. As Carl continues to pursue her, Abi confided: “I’ve made a serious decision. If the news is good, I’m going to talk to Kev – tell him that I need a break. Not because I want to be with you. My head’s a mess. You’re right, I’m not happy. I love him, but I’m not in love with him.”
Growing increasingly suspicious of Carl and Abi’s deepening bond, Kevin hatches a risky plan to prevent his wife from leaving him.
While at Speed Daal, Kevin runs into Dr. Gaddas, who confirms his test results and congratulates him on being cancer-free.
Despite the positive news, Kevin falsely tells Carl that he’s received the all-clear. However, Abi, puzzled by the mixed messages, clarifies the truth with Carl—telling him that Kevin still needs further chemotherapy.
This follows Kevin’s attempt to convince Abi that his condition may require a more aggressive treatment approach and that he needs her support. During the episode, Kevin says to Abi: “The good news is the cancer hasn’t spread. But it hasn’t responded to treatment either, so I’m not in the clear. Far from it.”
Abi is left shocked when she walks in on Kevin and Carl clashing. Later, when Kevin injures his groin while playing football with Jack, Abi urges him to finally come clean to his family.
Kevin then leads his sister Debbie (Sue Devaney) and friend Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) to believe that his cancer hasn’t responded to treatment and that he requires more chemotherapy.
But overwhelmed by guilt, Kevin eventually confesses to a stunned Tyrone that he lied—his cancer is actually gone.
What remains uncertain is whether Tyrone will keep Kevin’s secret or step in to put an end to his deceit before things spiral further and cause even more heartbreak.
