Coronation Street's Sally Carman on Abi's future with Kevin

However, according to Carman, poor Abi will have a reprieve over the coming weeks on the cobbles.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com at the British Soap Awards 2022 about whether Abi would have some respite, Carman explained: "I think so, I think that is coming. My scripts are quite minimal at the moment which means there might be a bit of peace and quiet.

"What I've done recently is quite happy stuff, so hopefully!"

But will she get back with Kevin for a happy ever after? "Maybe... yes. I'd like that," teased Carman.

As we know too well, peace and quiet won't last long in soap land, so it's only a matter of time before Abi's plunged into another dramatic episode.

At the moment on the soap, she's wrapped up in a custody battle for her son with Imran (Charlie de Melo), Alfie.
