Coronation Street spoilers for next week: Jack chooses Abi over Kevin

As Kevin wallows in self pity and steams around the Street in anger, there’s someone else suffering – Jack.

The teen has seen his own life fall apart, with Abi and Archie – his family – moving out, and his dad slowly losing the plot.

When he finds that there is no food at home, and the living room is in a state, he knows something needs to change as he heads off to school.

Later, he comes home with Abi in tow with news. He’s going to move in with her for a few days. He tells Kevin he can see that he is struggling and needs some space to try and sort himself out.

Kevin is left heartbroken as Jack leaves with his packed bag.

Bad dad vibes

Later in the week, when Kevin pulls a dirty mug out of the sink with World’s Best Dad on it, overwhelming guilt washes over him. He goes into work with his mind swirling.

At the garage later, Bryan calls in asking Kevin to look at his clutch but Kevin isn’t paying any attention. When Bryan then points out that the roof is leaking, Kevin snaps.

He lobs an empty bottle of vodka, narrowly missing Bryan, who rushes to the factory to get help.
