Coronation Street viewers will remember Abi Webster’s son Seb Franklin was murdered by Corey Brent as part of a hate-crime storyline.
Sally Carman’s character Abi Webster from Coronation Street is shocked to learn about her son’s murderer.
Fans of the ITV soap opera will remember the horrifying events from 2021 in which Corey Brent (Maximus Evans) killed Abi’s kid, Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni). Seb eventually passed away from his wounds when Corey and several of his buddies assaulted him and his fiancée Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) in a hate crime because of her different looks.
Corey, a talented football player for Weatherfield County, first held Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) responsible. But in the end, he entered a guilty plea and was accused of killing Seb.
A few weeks before, Corey was the subject of a prison football documentary, which Abi’s husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) learned about.
In later scenes, Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) is informed by Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) that she has been hired, although she is dreading her first task when she gets home after her interview.
Abi is frightened when Bethany contacts her at the garage and informs her that the magazine wants her to write a story supporting Corey. Subsequently, Abi informs Kevin that she has conducted research and discovered that the production business behind the documentary, which is led by Paul Opacic’s Stefan Brent, has board director status.
She discloses that he is also the magazine’s owner and that the deepfake videos were probably made as a form of retaliation. After reporting Stefan to the police, Abi and Kevin watch in a desperate attempt to see their horror come to an end as DS Swain (Vicky Myers) leads him into an interrogation room.
When Bethany contacts Abi at the garage, she offers to resign from her work if that’s what she wants to do, but she also points out that having someone inside to watch Stefan may be helpful.
When Kevin phones Bethany, he offers her her security pass to Stefan’s offices if she genuinely wants to assist. Reluctantly, Bethany accepts and gives it to her.
Kevin blames his early awakenings on stress when Abi questions him about them. But later, when he asks Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) whether he can hack into a stolen cellphone, it seems like he’s up to something.
Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) maintains that the video of Kevin breaking into Stefan’s office is simply another deepfake until he opens an email and finds it. Bethany learns Kevin took the phone when she sees Max using it elsewhere and warns him not to involve her family.
When Kevin shows up to Stefan’s workplace, Stefan threatens to put him in prison based on the video he took of Kevin breaking and entering. Abi is taken aback when she hears Tyrone inform Colson Smith’s character Craig Tinker that Kevin has fallen victim to a deepfake video.
When Kevin gets back to No. 13, Abi and Craig are already there. Will he report Stefan?
