Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street has revealed that Abi Webster will face turmoil in the dark storyline involving Mason Radcliffe.
It was revealed on Friday (December 27) that Mason would soon be fighting for his life after being stabbed during an altercation with his brothers Logan and Matty, an event witnessed by Abi.
In scenes set to air on January 8 and January 9, Mason’s stabbing is still the talk of the town as Abi is left shaken by the events, with the character being confused by a news report that she thinks is referring to her late son, Seb.

Later in the week, a disturbed Abi takes her eyes off son Alfie and subsequently panics as he vanishes from the play area, though she eventually finds him walking alongside Toyah, who had previously been involved in a custody battle for the youngster.
Owing to their past, a paranoid Abi accuses Toyah of abducting Alfie for her own benefit. As they return home, Abi doesn’t take her eyes off Alfie as she attempts to atone for her earlier lapse, though Kevin notices that his wife is clearly affected by something…
The devastating storyline involving Mason was recently explained by producer Kate Brooks, who told Digital Spy and other press: “We start the year with a big knife crime story. It's a really important story to tackle, because the statistics are so alarming.

“We've worked really closely with the Ben Kinsella Foundation to make sure we're telling the story right and that the message is to not carry a knife out of fear, because that escalates everything.
“We know we're tackling a sensitive storyline and it's going to be very hard-hitting. We have Mason at the centre of it and Dylan and Betsy are involved. It has massive ramifications for Abi – and for Tim and Sally going forward.”
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
