Coronation Street fans think the latest scenes on the ITV soap may have hinted at who is targeting Abi Franklin. The latest episode left some fans convinced a character could be ruled out, after a showdown. Someone has created deepfake porn videos of Abi, and posted them online and on social media.
Abi has no idea who has done it and why, but she knows someone is out to get her. For weeks fans have assumed her rival Cassie Plummer is to blame, amid her clear feelings for Abi's husband Kevin Webster. But the latest episode left some fans convinced this was not the case after all.
Cassie was overheard mocking Abi and her situation, leading to her losing her job at the garage. Cassie seemed to believe the videos were genuinely of Abi and not faked, while fans also pointed out Cassie would unlikely know how to create the content. She ended up having a row with Abi and Kevin over her comments, leaving her gutted.
So if the scenes rule Cassie out, who is the real culprit? Some viewers went back to the theory that Max Turner was behind it after recent drama with Kevin. Another theory though tied into the recent return of sorts of Corey Brent, who is in prison for killing Abi's son Seb Franklin. Corey was involved in a prison documentary linked to football, with him praised.
Abi fumed at the TV producers involved in the doc, reminding them of what had happened to her son and what Corey did. Some fans have wondered whether Corey or someone linked to the doc might be behind a revenge a.
