In the lead up to this, Imran caught Abi Webster (Sally Carman) preparing to leave the country with their baby son Alfie. This turn of events followed Imran gaining custody after framing recovering addict Abi for buying drugs.

With his lies the driving force behind Abi’s desperate decision, Imran eventually promised her husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) that he wouldn’t have her arrested.

He also thanked Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) for keeping him honest, before leaving a voicemail for Toyah. Admitting he had something important to tell her, Imran pleaded with her to hold off reporting Abi to the police. At the station, Imran intercepted Toyah’s mission, and she took the car keys as they set off home.
