Coronation Street's Abi Franklin turns back to booze and breaks down in tears in devastating scenes later this year.
Sally Carman, who plays Abi, has been spotted filming on location for an upcoming storyline which sees her character's life take another turn for the worse.
Viewers know that Abi is desperate to be permanently reunited with her twin children Charlie and Lexi, who are currently being raised by foster parents.
As seen in these brand new paparazzi pictures, Abi does some snooping later in the autumn by tracking down Charlie and Lexi at their new family's luxury house.

Seeing how happy they appear to be without her, Abi watches on in tears before downing a bottle of vodka.
Abi has previously had problems with both alcohol and drugs, but was hoping to turn her life around to get her children back for good.
Could this be the start of a downward spiral for Abi, or can somebody step in and make sure that she doesn't lose her chance to reunite with the kids?
As Corrie films its location scenes around six to eight weeks in advance, we should see this episode air in late October or early November.

Who is the Daddy... again ... :wall:
Online post allegedly from a very reliable source .. :hmm: Lets see if it becomes true... ABI GIVES BIRTH to a baby boy by the roadside, she names her baby Alfie after Sebs favorite teddy bear, then Abi does what Abi does best, she abandons her baby at the hospital feeling unworthy as a mother.
If this is meant to be Imran's baby, she has not had any signs of pregnancy but maybe her alcohol and drug abuse has something to do with that. Really do not like this storyline at all. :(
Didn't she think she was pregnant following her one night stand with him? What happened, did she take a test or not? (Sorry, I don't watch often, only follow via spoilers)
She told Imran she is not pregnant which is why he proposed to Toyah but knowing Abi, she might have liedQuote:

I thought she took a test and it was negative. She seemed relieved. Or did I dream that?!Quote:

I didn't know about the naming of the baby, but I can absolutely say that this is true and that the birth occurs sometime next week. The cast list shows Jane Hogarth is reprising her role as Judith Roberts - a midwife who has previously delivered Bethany Platt, Jake Windass, Harry Platt, and Zack Rubinstein on-screen.Quote:

Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod has promised a light-hearted storyline for Abi Webster this year.
Abi featured prominently in the first half of 2022 thanks to her baby storyline with Toyah and Imran Habeeb. Since finally winning custody of her young son Alfie, Abi has taken a turn out of the spotlight while other characters take centre stage.
In a recent chat with Digital Spy and other media, Corrie's producer Iain MacLeod revealed that he's holding back on a proposed plot for Abi because it's "a bit similar to another story we're telling at the moment".
He explained: "[It'll] just have to wait. But it involves Abi reconnecting with somebody from her past, who transpires to be the last possible person you'd expect to find in her backstory.
"That will cause a massive culture clash comedy. She meets somebody from her past she has a historical connection with, who is the polar opposite, so it's an odd couple story.
"We are very keen to see Abi happy and Sally Carman feels like that too ? she must have felt wrung out by the end of all those big stories. We want her and Kevin to be happy but never too comfortable so it's boring. They'll be happy but we'll throw stuff at them."
Abi will also get involved in the upcoming issue-based storyline involving the Street's younger characters.
Although firm details of the plot have not yet been announced, the ITV1 soap is planning to explore a topic that affects the teens but causes ripple effects for the wider Weatherfield community.
MacLeod said: "[Abi] becomes a key confidante to one of the youngsters in the big socially responsible issue story.
"Abi becomes a surrogate mum and has big dilemmas about whose version of events does she believe and who does she side with? That causes her to investigate her own history of substance misuse over the years."

Coronation Street offers first look at Abi Webster's major new story
Coronation Street star Sally Carman is currently filming a previously teased new story for her character Abi Webster.
Abi has been keeping her head down following her custody battle ordeal for baby Alfie, but new pictures obtained by Digital Spy confirm the mechanic will bump into an old face again.
New snaps from set see Abi handing out some cash to drug dealer Dean Turnbull, played once again by Anthony Crank. Abi, who is a recovering drug addict, has relapsed before, with her shenanigans with Dean having seen them involved in an auto theft from Kevin's garage.
The dramatic moment took a turn when Abi realised she was pregnant and had a change of heart, but Dean didn't think twice about leaving her stranded by the side of a road.
The duo met again in another dangerous showdown, with Abi falling and banging her head and the drug dealer leaving her for dead. But their encounters didn't stop there, with Abi recently defending Cassie Plummer, portrayed by Claire Sweeney, against Dean when Cassie owed him money.
Speaking about the storyline earlier in the year, Corrie producer Iain MacLeod promised a "massive culture clash comedy" between Abi and someone from her past.
It isn't clear whether this person really is Dean, but it seems they will "be the last possible person you'd expect to find in her backstory".
"She meets somebody from her past she has a historical connection with, who is the polar opposite, so it's an odd couple story," MacLeod also said in an interview published in January.
CORRIE bosses are lining up their first deepfake porn plot.

Coronation Street has lined up a devastating new storyline for Abi Webster.
A new issued-based story for the ITV soap will see Abi become the victim of deepfake porn, which is when AI technology is used to alter the faces of actors in already-existing pornographic material to make them look like other people.
According to The Sun, explicit content that has Abi?s face superimposed onto it will be anonymously sent to her garage boss Tyrone Dobbs, turning her life upside down.
Further details on the storyline and when it will air are yet to be revealed.
At the start of last year, Corrie producer Iain MacLeod spoke about plans for a plot that would see Abi "reconnecting with somebody from her past, who transpires to be the last possible person you'd expect to find in her backstory".
In December, he revealed that the storyline has "not gone away, but it's been pushed down the order somewhat.?
"The Abi story that I alluded to got pushed aside. I won't tell you by which story, because then you could probably work out what the Abi story was!" he continued.
"There was another story that came along. Actually, strategically, it made more sense to do that one first. So it's still there, but it's just not yet in the show."
While nothing has been confirmed, it?s possible this storyline could finally be making its way to screens in the form of Abi?s upcoming deepfake story. Could someone from Abi's past somehow be involved?
Elsewhere for Abi, she and husband Kevin will face some marital problems next week when he makes sexist comments about Steve McDonald's potential new date.

Coronation Street actor Sally Carman has explained what is going through her character Abi Webster's head as her terrifying new storyline begins.
Next week will see drug dealer Dean Turnball return to the Street, and after she refuses to help him, Tyrone Dobbs is shocked to discover a sex tape using Abi's face through deepfake technology has been posted online.
Upon first seeing the video, Carman states that Abi "can't quite get her head around it. There's so much to compute because she has no memory of this video, but she also knows that it's possible because she's had blackouts and there's been opportunities for someone to take advantage of that.
"Her head does go to Dean because he seems the obvious perpetrator... She goes after him with a wrench, she wants to kill him! Her emotions are all over the place. She's doing so well and it's that thing of you can forget who you used to be and become a different person, but clearly there's a lot of hurt and damage there.
"The old protective, fight for your life mode comes out and she just cannot see reason. She's in there and she's ready to kill him."
It soon becomes clear that it isn't actually her in the video, and it's a digital manipulation. Carman explains that there's an initial sense of consolation, but it soon gives way to more fear.
"I think there's a sense of relief, but I think mostly she's confused and reeling, thinking who could be doing this and why are they doing this," she said. "These aren?t just things you can do in 10 minutes, it takes time and money to do such a detailed convincing deepfake.
"It suddenly feels much deeper then when she thought it was Dean, he?s a scumbag and it felt horrendous, but this is someone else and they're out to get me and why. She's really confused and frustrated and scared."
Meanwhile, the soap seemed to sow the seeds for another Abi storyline in last night's episodes, as her partner Kevin saw online that Corey Brent (who murdered Abi's son Seb) is to be featured in an upcoming documentary about prison footballers.
