Coronation Street opens a new chapter of drama for Abi and Carl Webster tonight, as Tracy Barlow shamelessly blackmails them over their affair.<\/p>\n

This week’s episodes have seen Abi and Carl find a sneaky way to enjoy some uninterrupted time alone.<\/p>\n

Abi stayed behind on the Street when her husband Kevin went on holiday to Mallorca. She lied that she’d lost her passport and needed time to sort it out.<\/p>\n

Carl, meanwhile, claimed that he’d gone off to Wales for a few days. In reality, he was staying at Abi’s place and loving every minute of having her all to himself.<\/p>\n

In tonight’s episode, the plan blows up in their faces as Tracy does some detective work.<\/p>\n

Realising that Abi is hiding something, Tracy secretly spies on her. Watching through the kitchen door of the Webster house, she soon spots her kissing Carl.<\/p>\n

When Tracy threatens to tell Kevin what’s going on, Carl is forced to play ball by asking what she wants in return for her silence.<\/p>\n

“Well, I’m going through a divorce<\/a> at the moment \u2013 and they don’t come cheap,” Tracy replies.<\/p>\n

Abi points out that they’re supposed to be friends, but Tracy complains: “When it suits you. All the while, I was trying to get off with him and you were sleeping with him. You must have been laughing at me.”<\/p>\n

Much to the secretive pair’s horror, Tracy announces that \u00a310,000 would be a suitable price for her silence. Will they agree?<\/p>\n

Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl, recently told us<\/a>: “When the affair starts to come out \u2013 and Tracy in particular will discover this affair \u2013 Carl is new to Weatherfield, so he doesn’t really know who she is!<\/p>\n

“Abi, however, does know who Tracy is and is definitely warning Carl that Tracy is here to disrupt, she can’t be trusted, and she’s very dangerous.<\/p>\n

“I’ve also recently found out that she’s killed people! So I think Carl is being a little bit na\u00efve when he thinks he can control and have power over Tracy…”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street<\/strong> airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on <\/strong>ITVX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
