Kevin Webster announced his plans to take Alfie from Abi in tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Wednesday, November 19) in a huge twist.

With Abi spending time with Carl instead of caring for her sick child, Kevin decided to take charge.

He then shared his plans to put Alfie first and battle for the custody of the child.

Kevin wants custody of Alfie in Coronation Street

Sending Alfie to school, Abi Webster asked Carl whether he really was in their relationship for keeps. Carl insisted her was and tried to prove it to her with a romantic gesture.

However, during their time together, Abi’s phone started to ring so Carl cancelled the call and popped it on silent so that they wouldn’t be disturbed. She had no idea that he’d done this though…

With Abi and Carl cosy in bed together, Kevin knocked on the flat door and brought a poorly Alfie with him. He explained that the school had been trying to contact Abi to say the Alfie was still poorly but she hadn’t picked up.

Kevin Webster then accused Abi of deliberately ignoring the school to spend time in bed with Carl instead.

He then said that she wasn’t fit to be a mother, revealing his plans to go for full custody of Alfie.

Abi’s difficult past with her other kids in Coronation Street

Alfie wouldn’t be the first child Abi’s been forced to give up. As well as Alfie, Abi has three other children. Seb Franklin, her eldest, sadly passed away after being attacked by Corey Brent in 2021.

Her other children, twins Charlie and Lexi, were put into foster care in 2017 due to Abi’s addiction struggles.

The twins were then adopted, with their family moving to Australia. However, they occasionally visit Abi in Weatherfield now and then.

And, on the topic of Alfie himself, this isn’t the first time that Abi’s had to fight for custody of him.

When Alfie’s biological father Imran was alive, the court ruled that Imran could get custody. This was when Imran tried to plant drugs on Abi to give him a better chance of winning the case.

However, when Abi tried to flee the country with Alfie, the court backtrack. It decided that he could be put in a mother and baby foster centre. This was until Abi proved that she was fit to care for him.
