His scheme worked and he was granted custody of Alfie, with Abi limited to access as and when he agreed. Imran’s wife Toyah (Georgia Taylor) has been trying to maintain a civilised relationship with Abi, but she has no idea that her husband resorted to such dirty tactics.

Tonight, Matty handed the passports over to a delighted Abi, but warned that she may also need a visa in her bid to emigrate. Abi then instructed Matty to arrange a dodgy one for her.

Meanwhile, an oblivious Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) was pondering a romantic reunion with his wife following their split over Abi’s one night stand with Imran. As pal Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and Kevin’s son Jack (Kyran Bowes) encouraged Kev to follow his heart, he headed to see Abi, telling her he still loved her.

Overwhelmed, Abi kissed her husband, but eventually pulled away. Confused, Kevin took this as a rejection – but she admitted that she was about to walk away from Weatherfield.

Kevin warned Abi that her kidnap plan was risky, but she pointed out that Alfie is her son too and that in her eyes, she’s been left with no other choice. Kevin left, torn over what to do for the best. He confided in sister Debbie (Sue Devaney), who was surprisingly understanding over Abi’s plight. She advised Kevin that he had two clear choices – tell Imran everything, or keep quiet and hope Abi gets away with it.

Later, seeing Imran in the Street, Kevin confronted him over what he had done to Abi. Saying he was trying to warn Imran, Kev stopped short of actually revealing Abi’s intentions, leaving Imran bemused but unmoved.

Returning to visit Abi, Kevin handed her some extra cash to add to her wages from the garage. Although the pair were emotional over saying goodbye, Kevin gave her his blessing and promised to keep her secret.

But with Coronation Street gearing up for a tense set of episodes in this storyline, will Abi even have the chance to go anywhere? Just how will the battle for Alfie end?
