Coronation Street exit 'sealed' as Kevin Webster's cancer lie exposed

Coronation Street fans have been watching Kevin Webster spin a web of lies in a desperate attempt to save his marriage. Played by Michael Le Vell, Kevin has even claimed he's going under chemotherapy, but he will soon be exposed in shocking scenes. Tension mounts as Kevin, eager to avoid being found out, tries to hold everything together as he is threatened by Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard). But will Carl keep quiet, or will he use Kevin's secret for his own gain? As Abi (Sally Carman) has a go at Carl for all the trouble he's caused, he resists telling her about Kevin's fake cancer. She then confides in Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) that she's planning to tell Jack that Kevin's cancer hasn't responded.

However, Tyron assures her that Kevin isn't going to die from cancer. Reeling from the lie, Abi confronts Kevin. He tells her how sorry he is, explaining he couldn't cope with losing her.

Declaring that she can't bear to look at him, a distraught Abi heads out and goes straight into Carl's arms. As Abi asserts that she and Kevin are officially over, the pair kiss.

Carl then doubles down and informs Abi that she is doing the right thing by remaining with Kevin and that it's best for them to keep their distance apart for the time being.

However, at the garage, Kevin tells Carl he's sacked. He says he simply cannot trust him anymore, and Carl agrees that a new start might do him some good.

When Abi asks where Carl has gone, Kevin makes up that he quit his job and announced that he wants to start afresh somewhere else. This leaves Abi secretly gutted.

Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) tries to persuade Carl to stay, but will she be able to?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV and ITVX at 8pm.
