Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow uncovers Abi and Carl Webster's dirty secret next week, when she spots the pair smooching at No. 13.

With Kevin and Jack away in Spain, Abi and Carl share a steamy night at the Webster house. And it seems as if they've gotten away with their antics ? until Tracy spies the couple kissing through the kitchen window?

"Tracy is the last person you'd want to be caught out by," our Corrie source points out. "She hasn't got a smidgen of empathy at the best of times, let alone when it comes to a love rival.

"Plus, it appears that Tracy has a devious smile on her face after she catches them, so Abi and Carl better brace themselves?"

The week begins with Carl flirtatiously offering his hotel room number to Tracy, which irks Abi to the core. However, his secret lover calms down when Carl reveals that it was a cover and suggests they should meet up later at the Chariot Square.

Subsequently, Carl returns to his room and hears the shower running. Believing that Abi is waiting for him, the mechanic cracks a grin ? but it's soon revealed that it's Tracy who has let herself in! Will Carl give in to his admirer's advances?

"Carl later turns up at No. 13, interrupting a tender moment between Abi and Kev," shares our source. "Taking Abi to one side, Carl privately tells her that Tracy tried it on with him, but he turned her down.

"Abi doesn't hear Carl out for long though, as she pushes him out the door as quick as she can?"

Later in the week, Debbie convinces Tracy to pursue Carl again, and even offers drinks on the house. Meanwhile, Carl meets Abi at the ginnel, where he insists that as long as she sleeps with Kevin, he is free to do the same with Tracy?

Abi's thoughtful as she returns home to pack for her family holiday ? and ends up telling Kevin that she can't find her passport, so he and Jack should go ahead without her.

"It's very convenient timing," muses our source. "Although, Abi doesn't entirely excuse herself, as she tells Kevin that she'll join them once she secures a new passport.

"At the same time, Carl breaks it to Tracy that he's in love with someone else, which leads Tracy to guess that it's Abi. You'll have to see whether he can persuade her otherwise?"

Once Kevin and Jack jet off, Carl and Abi spend the night together. Smitten, Abi picks up lager from the corner shop, which leaves passer-by Tracy feeling confused.

Meanwhile, Debbie lets herself into No.13, unaware that her younger brother is hiding upstairs. However, when Debbie suddenly collapses, Carl has no choice but to race to her side.

Abi arrives home to find Carl tending to his unconscious sibling, and calls for an ambulance and Ronnie, while Carl scurries upstairs. Once the chaos has settled, Abi and Carl share an embrace which leads to a passionate kiss.

As curious Tracy watches on through the window, will she blow Abi and Carl's lives apart? And if so, how will she go about it?

Coronation Street's Kit Green puts himself in danger next week when he reveals he's been secretly investigating a case of possible police corruption ? involving Lisa Swain's late wife Becky.

The curious copper tells girlfriend Sarah Barlow he's been digging on the down low, but does he have the answers that grieving Lisa is desperate for?

"The mystery of Becky Swain's death deepens," teases our Corrie insider. "Because nobody will talk, Kit smells a rat and is doing his own detective work.

"Can he get to the bottom of this, or is he jeopardising his career when his colleagues insist he keeps his nose out?"

DC Green is on the wrong side of the law for reasons unconnected to the Swain cold case, when he gets involved in Sarah's clash with a potential Underworld client.

Businessman Eli shows up late for a meeting in a foul mood, having been delayed by a police officer who claimed he was illegally parked and searched his car ? which didn't get his day off to the best start.

Kit arrives at the factory to see Sarah, and is stunned to clock Eli ? turns out the fellas have already met?

"Kit was the policeman who stopped him," our source confirms. "What are the chances?

"Eli is already snippy with Sarah, so finding out she's dating the mardiest member of Weatherfield's constabulary doesn't exactly seal their deal."

As Sarah sends her lover packing and attempts some damage limitation with Eli, Kit refuses to let the matter drop. After confronting Eli about his treatment of Sarah, Kit is hauled in at work by his boss, DI Costello.

Straight-talking Costello reveals Eli has made an accusation of intimidation against Kit, so he's placed on desk duty until further notice.

Kit is also ordered to pretend it's because of his injuries in the line of duty ? unless he wants to endure a formal enquiry in light of his other recent activities?

Kit offloads to Sarah about his demotion. However, there's little sympathy from his other half, who berates him for going after Eli and fighting her battles when he wasn't asked.

Steering the conversation around, Kit then has a confession for Sarah which leaves her reeling?

"Kit admits he was on a case not long ago and clocked it was linked to an historic investigation Becky Swain was on," our insider shares.

"When he asked Costello for access to those files, he was told to leave it alone. But Kit continued to investigate in secret, hence Lisa seeing his name on the access request when she went snooping."

What Kit has unearthed about the Becky business must be juicy if he hasn't divulged it to anyone ? will he tell Sarah the full story? And why hasn't he let Lisa in on this yet?
