Coronation Street fans fume over cheating couple as affair set to be 'exposed'

Carl Webster's (played by Jonathan Howard) actions infuriated Coronation Street fans in the latest edition of the long-running ITV soap as he appeared to take umbrage at the fact his sister in law and lover, Abi Webster (Sally Carmichael), slept with her husband, his brother Kevin (Michael Le Vell). The murky affair has been going on for weeks, but it looks like things might be coming to a head as Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) has set her sights on the younger Webster brother and seems to have figured out his connection to Abi. Having agreed to go on a date with her after challenging Abi over her actions with Kevin, he was confronted by Tracy's theory and had to lie that he had someone else in his life.

However, viewers were fuming at his double standard and attitude and took to X to vent. "So it's alright for Carl to sleep with Tracy, but Abi can't sleep with Kevin, seriously...# Corrie," one fumed. "Imagine apologising to your brother-in-law (and biting on the side) because you had sex with your hubby #Corrie," another added.

"Carl getting s***** that Abi, slept with her own husband? These two are so bad for each other! Abi deserves better than the men she's paired with currently! #Corrie," a third opined.

A fourth chimed in: "Awwww! Poor wittle Carl crying 'cause ABI SLEPT WITH HER OWN HUSBAND! Don't act like you're the one being cheated on! #Corrie."

A fifth found the situation amusing, commenting, "Carl has a problem with Abi sleeping with her husband. It's too funny. #corrie."

Meanwhile, a sixth felt sympathy for Kevin, who is still oblivious to the pair's shenanigans. "Poor Kevin is not ready for s*** to hit the fan over Abi and Carl #Corrie," they lamented.

With both parties' jealousy rising, it would appear it is only a matter of time before their cheating is exposed.

Tracy didn't seem convinced by Carl's denial, and he was forced to tell her he was going to Wales to patch things up with his ex.

Meanwhile, feeling guilty after being confronted by Carl Abi also took a further risk when she pretended to lose her passport so she could avoid going on holiday with Kevin and invite Carl over to their home.

As they get ever more reckless and carry on their affair on their own doorstep, will they get caught?

Coronation Street is on ITV and ITVX Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm.
