Coronation Street fans have expressed their ‘disappointment’ as Kevin Webster’s latest health twist triggered a ‘destroyed’ claim. The character was diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this year which meant he had to undergo a serious procedure to have the testicle removed. Since then, he’s been having regular chemotherapy sessions as part of his recovery. Viewers initially watched as Kevin has struggled to come to terms with his diagnosis and pushed everyone away, including his best friend Tyrone Dobbs, son Jack, and wife Abi Webster. It was during Wednesday’s (July 2) episode of the ITV soap that Kevin had an appointment at the hospital, during which he received the results of his treatment.

Kevin recently rumbled what was going on after he saw a message from Carl on Abi’s phone saying he’d like to get to know her better. Abi subsequently warned Carl off and then told Kevin that he was responsible for a bad job at the garage. But in fact, she’d tampered with a car he was working on because she wanted him away from the garage, and Kevin ended up finding out. He ended up accusing his wife and his sibling of having an affair, which Abi denied and claimed she was just annoyed by Carl’s texts. Kevin ended up attending his appointment alone. Once finished, he avoided heading back home to see Abi, who was worried sick. As she assumed it was good news, she seemed like she was going to tell Kevin the truth about Carl, but he interrupted her and said the cancer hadn’t spread, but he’d need more treatment. Following his appointment, Kevin and Abi headed to Speed Daal for a date night, and it was there that we learnt that Kevin had actually lied. As Abi headed to the bathroom, Kevin was approached by Dr. Gaddas, who congratulated him on getting the all clear. And Corrie fans were furious – and quickly figured out where the storyline will lead. @KatieJukesy said: “Kevin lying about still having cancer and it not getting better.. and I thought sleeping with Molly and getting her pregnant whilst your wife is suffering with cancer was one of the most insane things he would do. I’m disappointed #Corrie.” @connorsdingle commented: “kevin webster is on my hit list omg I HATE HIM!! #Corrie.” @Ralph_Hapschatt wrote: “Oh Kevin. You complete t**t. When Abi hears this, she’ll sleep with your brother. And so she should! #Corrie.” @Louise101050 posted: “Congratulations Kevin you’ve just pushed Abi and Carl together because of the awful lie you have just told. #corrie.” h0llie123 shared on Reddit: “Right so that’s the last remains of kev’s character destroyed.” MelodicAd2213 added: “Well this will be the end of Kev and Abi when she catches him in that lie and can no longer resist his creep of a brother.”
