Corrie storyline mirrors Ryan Giggs affair scandal

Coronation Street is set to introduce a provocative new storyline that mirrors the infamous affair of footballer Ryan Giggs with his brother's wife. In this plot, Kevin Webster, portrayed by Michael Le Vell, is battling testicular cancer while his wife Abi, played by Sally Carman, becomes romantically involved with his younger half-brother, Carl. Insiders describe this as 'the ultimate betrayal' as Abi succumbs to temptation despite feeling guilty about her actions. The character of Carl, who will be revealed soon, has been hinted at for some time but will finally make his on-screen debut this spring. This storyline echoes Giggs' scandal, which began in 2003 and led to a significant fallout between him and his brother Rhodri. Fans can expect heightened drama as the chemistry between Abi and Carl is described as 'off the scale.'
