Coronation Street's Abi Webster takes the drastic decision to flee the country with her newborn next week on the soap and confides in her estranged husband Kevin.
Abi (Sally Carman) plots her escape with baby Alfie after losing hope of ever winning custody of him amid the bitter battle with Imran Habeeb.
In recent scenes on the soap, Alfie's father Imran lied in court as he claimed that Abi was back on drugs, unfairly swaying the custody battle in his favour.
ITV spoilers have now revealed that in next week’s scenes on the cobbles, Abi continues her getaway plot in her fightback plan against Imran.
But before she can go ahead and flee Coronation Street, her husband Kevin has some shocking news to share with her about his feelings.
Next week, Abi approaches Imran and his wife Toyah, asking if she can have Alfie for a whole day the following Monday.
While Toyah tries to keep the peace and agrees, Imran is more reluctant but is forced to go along with it.
Abi has already completed the first steps of her plan to leave the cobbles and is later in the week seen getting two fake passports for her and Alfie, which she plans to use to travel to the warmer climes of Costa Rica with Alfie.
Abi is stopped in her tracks when Kevin comes to her with a confession.
Kevin was heartbroken when he found Abi had cheated on him in earlier episodes of the long-running drama.
But it was only after Alfie's surprise birth that he realised Imran was the mystery man Abi had slept with.
After giving her back her job, he has since tried to support her from afar in her custody battle against Imran.
The mechanic admits that he has never stopped loving her, despite the difficult hurdles they have had to overcome during their romance.
But Kevin isn't enough to stop Abi from leaving and she responds by telling him that she'll be leaving the following day and taking Alfie with her.
Realising that Kevin is the only resident to know all about her plan, she pleads with him to keep quiet but this doesn't last long.
Kevin is left with a dilemma and struggling to go along with this, he confides in his sister Debbie about how Abi is plotting to abduct Alfie.
Debbie tells Kevin that he has two choices – either tell Imran the truth, or hope that Abi gets away with it.
Later on, Kevin approaches Imran on the street… but will he actually throw Abi under the bus?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
