Coronation Street fans were left heartbroken as Abi Franklin disappeared from the hospital after giving birth to a surprise premature baby on Monday night’s hour-long instalment of the soap.
Fans of the ITV soap were gobsmacked when Sunday night's special episode ended with Abi realising that she was having a baby, despite being wholly unaware she was pregnant.
The character has turned to drugs again in recent scenes, following her split from husband Kevin Webster, after learning of her recent affair, although not that it was with Imran Habeeb.
