Today’s Coronation Street ITVX scenes (Wednesday, February 4) were a difficult watch for many as they saw a fan-favourite contemplate jumping off a roof.

Going up to tend to a leak, Kevin then decided that he didn’t want to be alive anymore and worried his family and friends.

With his ex Abi then rushing up to rescue him, it seemed that her desperate attempt to help Kevin worked.

As Brian begged Kevin to come down to fix his clutch, Sally and Abi feared that Kevin was going to jump off the roof.

Taking drastic action, Abi then climbed up onto the roof herself in a bid to talk him down.

Abi told Kevin that the affair wasn’t really Carl’s fault. It was her fault. She had been pulling away from Kevin ever since Seb died, and she and Kevin were never really able to mend their relationship after the time she cheated with Imran.

Kev then asked Abi if there was any chance of saving their marriage but she told him that there was not. She would always love him but not in the way he wanted her to anymore.

She then told him that he needed to come down and be there for Jack. And, Kevin accepted that she was right.

With Kevin back down on solid ground, Jack then said that he would move back in. A corner had been turned. But, as for Brian’s clutch…
