This article contains spoilers for Fridayâs (June 28th) episode of Coronation Street,
which has not yet aired on ITV1 but is available to view on ITVX now.
Abi Webster (Sally Carman) has left Coronation Street after an almighty row with
husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) over the deepfake porn videos of her that have spread online.
It all kicked off when Abi was listening to the radio and overheard a presenter discussing an upcoming documentary based on a prison football team, which had been headed up by Corey Brent, the teen who had killed her son Seb back in 2021.
Determined to stop the production company from airing the documentary, Abi and Sebâs ex-girfriend Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) charged down to the production offices and demanded it be taken down.
However, bigger woes were soon to comeâŠ
The residents discovered that someone was making and distributing deepfake pornographic videos of Abi online.
Kevin employed Max Turner (Paddy Bever) to find the culprit, but it proved to be an almost impossible task.
Later, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) mentioned she had secured a new job at a magazine, prompting Abi to investigate further.
She uncovered that Coreyâs father, Stefan, was involved in both the magazine and the production company.
Believing Stefan to be behind the deepfakes, Abi reported him to DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), who informed her there was little the police could do.
