Coronation Street’s Abi Franklin lashes out after Imran tries to set her up with drugs

CORONATION Street's Abi Franklin lashes out at Imran Habeeb after he paid Ben to plant evidence of drug use on her.

The solicitor - who is played by Charlie De Melo on the ITV soap - resorts to nasty tricks as he fights for baby Alfie's custody and has hired Ben to get dirt on Abi.

Meanwhile Abi realises what he's up to and decides to stop Imran's wedding with Toyah.

She jumps into the driver’s seat of Toyah’s wedding car just as Toyah gets in and, driving off, the mechanic tries to persuade Imran's fiancée to cancel the wedding.

But nothing seems to stop Toyah from tying the knot with Imran and as the party piles into the Rovers Imran soon confronts Abi in the street and asserts that she's an unfit mother.

Later when Dean later approaches her hoping to score some drugs, Abi hands him some cash to get rig of him - unaware Ben has caught her on camera.

Ben shows Imran the pictures he took of the pair and suggests he's willing to lie in court.

But mechanic Abi ((Sally Carman) is determined to turn the tables on Imran.

Abi follows Ben and is seen taking photos of him taking part in a drug deal.

But Ben spots Abi taking pictures of him on her mobile and a fight ensues.

Ben's fear soon turns to rage as he tries to snatch Abi's phone.

Wearing her trademark khaki jacket, she is seen struggling to get free as he wrestles with her.

He is pictured grabbing hold of her arm and becoming more aggressive.

But Abi appears to leg it with her phone in her hand, although Ben is not far behind.

Has Abi got what she needs to discredit Ben?

ITV viewers know all too well what Imran has been up to in recent months.

The solicitor had a one night stand with Abi in October, 2021, which resulted in a surprise pregnancy.

Abi had no idea she was expecting a baby and unexpectedly gave birth to a premature Alfie in recent weeks.

Since then, Alfie has been staying in the neonatal unit while his biological parents fight for him.

Imran first kept his affair with Abi secret from Toyah, although he did admit to being unfaithful.

Toyah found out he was the father of Abi's baby from Kevin and her chances of adopting foster daughter Elsie were thus destroyed.

Despite this, Toyah has forgiven Imran and agreed to marry him.

But will the couple really live happily ever after?
