Abi Franklin arrived on the cobbles five years ago, and it's been a turbulent time for the troubled mother ever since.
Actress Sally Carman made her Coronation Street debut in the role of the former drug addict in 2017 a year after on-screen son Seb Franklin, played by Harry Visinoni made his first appearance.
