ITV Share By Tamzin Meyer Jan 13 2026 By Tamzin Meyer Jan 13 2026 4 Coronation Street storylines that need to be tied up in 2026 It's time to close the chapter Features Share By Tamzin Meyer Jan 13 2026 By Tamzin Meyer Jan 13 2026 Coronation Street gave us a right variety of storylines in 2025, but some need to definitely be tied up in 2026. There comes a time when every good (or bad) story must end so that new ones can arise. And there are five particular ones that we think need to end sooner rather than later, for a multiple of different reasons! Abi and Carl are never going to work (Credit: ITV) 1. Carl/ Abi/ Kevin love triangle Yes, Abi might’ve picked her man, but the aftermath of the whole Carl and Abi affair seems to be DRAGGING. Carl was never committed to Abi (despite her wishful beliefs) and he’s been wanting to escape from the moment he locked lips with her. Mr. Webster does not like it when his relationships get a tad too real. Abi’s busy planning a whole life and future with Carl, hoping that he’ll make a great step-dad to little Alfie. Meanwhile, Carl is busy trying to con his own sister out of money in a bid to fly back to Germany – alone! Article Continues Below Read all the latest Spoilers Let’s not forget about poor Kevin too, who has fallen into a depressive episode all thanks to Abi’s cheating. We think that Abi needs to be taught a lesson in karma, and that Carl should just hurry up and get on with whatever it is he wants to do out in Germany. But, ultimately, Kevin needs justice. And, he needs it now. Todd deserves happiness (Credit: ITV) 2. Todd and Theo’s abuse storyline Poor Todd thought he was onto a winner with new boyfriend Theo Silverton. But, this turned out to be nothing further than the truth. From shoving him into mirrors, isolating him from his loved ones, and forcing him to maintain a brutal fitness regime, abusive Theo has been the partner from hell. Todd’s started to grow fed up of being the victim though and has conjured up a plan to catch Theo out once and for all. We’re really hoping that Todd can escape, because whole this storyline has been really hard-hitting and important to watch, we’re not sure we can endure much more of seeing lovely Todd suffer. He deserves some happiness, and villain Theo deserves to be punished. It’s icky to watch (Credit: ITV) 3. Megan and Will’s grooming This storyline might be rather fresh, but it’s already become an icky watch. Will, a literal child, is secretly dating groomer and gym coach Megan Walsh. To throw everyone off the scent, Megan’s been getting cosy with Daniel (she does look like his exact type to be honest), and she’s grown pretty good at it. However, Lauren Bolton knows what it’s like to be groomed and she’s started to see through Megan’s lies. Here’s to hoping she exposes Megan once and for all, stopping her from preying on vulnerable children ever again. Something needs to happen (Credit: ITV) 4. Cassie and Tracy’s feud While we might be on Team Tracy Barlow (Cassie did literally drug Tracy’s dad), Tracy doesn’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to arguing over Steve. Tracy’s Steve’s ex which means he’s free to date whoever he likes, Cassie included. And, Tracy shouldn’t really have a say in that. Their feud has to stop before it puts poor Ken through anymore unnecessary stress. Please!
