Coronation Street star isn't told future plot lines to stop her spilling show secrets

Coronation Street star Sally Carman won't ask about future plotlines on the ITV soap - to avoid blabbing them to everyone.

The actress - who plays Abi Webster on the show - has admitted she deliberately won't ask about what's coming up on the ITV show, as she admits she is terrible at keeping secrets about her character's fate.

Abi has been involved in a huge storyline with Imran Habeeb - the father of her son Alfie - and his wife Toyah Battersby, which all culminated in a horrific car crash, with Toyah being accused of killing Imran in the smash.

However, Abi admits she doesn't know much about what is ahead - and doesn't want to.

"The brilliant thing about the producers is that unless you actually specifically ask [what's coming up], they don't tell you," she told Digital Spy, "I never ask because I can't hold my own water, so the less I know, the better!

"Or else I'd just be telling you everything – which might be good for you, not so good for me. So I actually don't know, but I know that it's gone quite quiet script-wise, so I'm guessing that she's going to be happy for a bit. Which suits me fine!"

Her currently storyline has seen her get close to Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) again after the pair split when Kevin found out that Abi had had a one night stand with Imran, and baby Alfie was born.

"He can see that no one’s perfect. And he loves her. And when you love someone, you see through their faults. That’s what a relationship should be and hopefully if Kevin ever falls on hard times Abi will be there for him," Michael said of the recent storyline.

Abi's been supported by her estranged husband Kevin Webster (ITV)

"She’s exciting to him because he doesn’t know what he’s going to get from her one day to the next. I think that keeps him on his toes and stops him getting bored. Kevin’s not been an angel himself. So I think he’s got to eat a bit of humble pie."

Elsewhere, Abi has also been battling with a drug addiction, and even considered creating fake passports to get her and Alfie out the country so they could live life together away from Weatherfield.
