*Warning: Major spoilers for Coronation Street episode - September 24*
In tonight’s episode (September 24), Kevin prepares to go for a cancer check-up, Betsy ditches college to spend the day with Becky, and Asha comes face-to-face with the cause of her anxiety.
Abi breaks it off with Kevin
At the hospital, Kev is given the all-clear again, but it isn’t all smiles for Abi, who is still keeping her affair with Carl from her husband. Kevin is starting to suspect something is up with her due to her subdued reaction to the all-clear. Back at the house, he questions her on her reaction. She flies off the handle when he suggests that the family should get a dog, as a plan for settling down fully.
Later, Abi covertly meets up with Carl and reveals that while Kev sees the all-clear as a new star for the pair, she only wants to be with Carl. When she arrives home, Kevin shares more ideas he’s had for the future, including refurbishing cars as a long-term project. Abi then drops the bombshell that she wants to break up.
As heartbroken Kevin grapples with the shock, Abi tells him that it is nothing he’s done. He then outright asks her if her decision has anything to do with Carl, which Abi denies. She tells him that he is trying to find someone to blame, but that no one is involved, despite the opposite being true. They are interrupted by Jack, who tells them that Debbie has asked them to come to the Rovers as soon as possible.
Fearing the worst for Debbie, the pair arrive and find that it’s a ruse to celebrate Kevin’s all-clear. Despite Debbie celebrating, Abi and Kevin are miserable given Abi’s confession only minutes earlier. They try to make a swift exit despite Debbie’s protests, but Kevin loses his cool when Carl arrives at the celebration. He confronts him in the Rovers beer garden, but Carl denies anything going on between him and Abi and tells him he would never betray his brother.
Abi walks in on them and her and Kevin have a quiet moment together where she ends it for good with him. Abi later meets up with Carl, where they agree to keep their romance quiet longer until Kevin gets over the break-up. While Abi begins planning for the future, James arrives at Carl’s hotel room ready for a “workout” the pair had arranged earlier that day.
Kevin reveals the truth to Debbie and it turns out he doesn’t believe a word that either Abi and Carl say about their relationship - he is still adamant that they are having an affair. Debbie bats off the suggestion but Kevin reveals she saw them flirting on CCTV. Kevin vows to kill them both if his theories are true...
Asha comes face-to-face with her attacker
Meanwhile, following a lunch out with dad Dev, Asha bumps into the patient who racially attacked her during a shift which resulted in her having a panic attack. After confronting her, the woman, who is helping to run Ryan’s career fair, denies having been involved, claims a case of mistaken identity, and threatens Asha against making “serious” and “unfounded accusations”.
Asha loses her cool back home over letting the woman get away with threatening her. She reveals the full story to Bernie, who takes off shortly after. After talking her down from confronting the woman, Asha also convinces her not to tell Ryan about her. However, Bernie tells her that she will be telling Dev and says she needs to go to the police about the attack.
Asha does go to the police station to report the attack but begins to panic. As she turns around to walk out, she is spotted by Kit. Asha is next seen coming out of an interview room, after having told an officer her story. Kit later tells her that he will help in anyway he can in getting justice for her. Asha arrives home and finds dad Dev who reveals that Bernie has told him about her situation.
Becky tries to mend bridges with Betsy
During their day out, Becky attempts to put her foot down with Betsy, telling her that her teen tearaway attitude needs to stop. Betsy tells her long lost mum that she lost the right to parent her years ago and storms off. Becky visits Carla at home to ask if she has seen her and the pair have a war of words, with Carla telling Becky to “go back to being dead” after causing Betsy and Lisa so much trouble by resurfacing.
Becky later speaks to Lisa, revealing that she feels like a stranger to Betsy. After her grovelling, Lisa invites her in for a cup of tea to talk things over, much to Betsy’s dismay when she arrives home. Becky open up to Betsy and reveals she had a pocket full of birthday cards ready to give her and apologises. As she leaves, Betsy has a change of heart and invites her back in. However, Carla is less-than-impressed at the trio playing happy families when she arrives later.
Theo and Todd butt heads over Noah’s death
At the Rovers, Maria asks Todd whether Noah’s death had anything to do with him being beaten up, but Todd waves the suggestion off. However, he does reveal that Theo’s emotional response to Noah’s death has confused him, telling Maria that Noah deserved to die after causing so much pain. Theo interrupts and reveals he’s heard the conversation and storms out the Rovers.
Fizz unravels under pressure
Fizz can be seen struggling to keep the household running all while Tyrone is in the hospital and Cassie takes up residence at home. She bumps into Maria in the street and tells her that she isn’t coping well at all.
Maria also confronts Cassie in the pub soon after and tells her she needs to start pulling her weight at home, as Fizz is close to crumbling under pressure, something that hasn’t even occurred to Cassie.
Cassie arrives home to a frazzled Fizz and tells her to go and relax while she sorts out tea. She also tells her that from now on, Fizz, the kids and Tyrone are her priority.
