Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell)

Coronation Street's Kevin Webster is going to risk losing the garage he has owned for over 20 years in an upcoming storyline.

Ray Crosby has already proven to be quite the slimy piece of work but, as reported in The Sun, he is going to get even worse.

Ray's ex (and Kevin's current love interest) Abi is going to get caught on CCTV setting fire to his car, and Ray will decide to use that as leverage: if Kevin doesn't sign over the garage to him, he'll go to the police and get Abi sent back to prison.

Will Kevin decide to save his business or his new love? We'll have to wait to find out.

But Kevin isn't the only Corrie character to be blackmailed lately, as last night's (January 24) episode saw Jade blackmail Fiz over being attacked. Fiz said she would rather go to prison than let Jade see Hope anymore, but time will tell whether Jade actually goes through with her threat.

Meanwhile, Corrie has scheduled an hour-long special to celebrate its 10,000th episode, and it's sure to be a memorable one.

Coronation Street has announced some big new plans for the Webster family in 2025.

The ITV soap will launch a new issue-based storyline in the New Year as long-standing character Kevin is diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Show bosses will also introduce Kevin and Debbie's younger half-brother Carl Webster for the first time.

New producer Kate Brooks shared these plans with Digital Spy and other media at a recent Corrie press event.

Brooks explained: "The Websters are brilliant. Kevin and Sally are at the heart of it ? then you've got Tim and you've got Abi. They're a great character group.

"As we go into the New Year, Kevin will discover that he's got testicular cancer, which causes a massive strain on his relationship. Abi is a really strong character, but she's going through her own turmoil at the same time.

"We want to tell this really truthfully. We've been working closely with Macmillan to make sure that we tell the story right. Ultimately, it's about Kevin and Abi's relationship and testing that relationship."

She continued: "It was really important that we don't show Kevin being embarrassed or being reticent to talk to his friends about it. He's quite open about it, which I thought was quite refreshing.

"Kevin talks to Tim and Steve about it and they all have their own way of handling it. But ultimately it's about his relationship with Abi, and that is going to be truly tested.

"Abi is going through her own situation as she struggles with the aftermath of a big event that happens in January. She loves Kevin and he loves her, but temptation comes Abi's way."

With Corrie planning to focus more on the Websters next year, Kevin and Debbie's sibling Carl will be brought into the show to expand the family.

Carl, who'd now be in his late 30s, is the son of Bill Webster and his second wife Elaine. The character grew up in Germany and has never featured on screen until now.

Brooks added: "We've got Carl Webster coming into the show, who is Debbie and Kevin's brother, to build up that Webster clan.

"We've got big stories coming up for Debbie and Kevin. It's about building that clan up. For me, the Websters, Barlows and Platts are the big clans."
