BREAKING NEWS: Roy Cropper NO MORE?! Cafe Icon’s SHOCKING Prison Ordeal Takes DARK Turn!
Coronation Street is set to be hit by scandal in next week’s episodes, as new spoilers reveal that Abi Webster (Sally Carman) is targeted in a deepfake porn attack, while Roy Cropper (David Neilson) is in serious danger as he crosses paths with Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton)’s terrorist dad Griff.
When footage is sent to Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), Abi is left feeling sick to the stomach to see that a sex video featuring her is doing the rounds.
Having no memory of what happened, she blames drug dealing ex Dean and goes on the attack, grabbing a wrench and advancing on him.
But things then take another turn when it slowly becomes clear that the video is faked – and Dean may not even be the person responsible.
So who is out to try and destroy Abi?
Speaking of Weatherfield fan favourites being destroyed, Roy finds himself the target of Griff when he is transferred to the same landing.
With Roy accused of Lauren’s murder, it’s only a matter of time before he finds himself on the receiving end of his violence.
And elsewhere, Carla Connor (Alison King) is gutted when she gets an update on Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne).
