CORONATION STREET could make one characters life a misery as Christmas approaches as an innocent Weatherfield resident is falsely accused of causing this weeks horrific car crash which leaves one character dead.
Coronation Street: Tracy damages Michelle's car before wedding
On Monday’s double visit to Coronation Street, ITV viewers saw Tracy Barlow (played by Kate Ford) as a woman scorned as she believed her friend Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) was sleeping with her fiancé Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson).
Raging, Tracy took to the garage where Abi works as a mechanic to take her revenge by tampering with Michelle Connor’s (Kym Marsh) car.
In a horrific sequence of events, Tracy’s actions leads Michelle’s car to break down as she was trying to flee Weatherfield.
However, with Abi the one working on the car before the crash, the mechanic finds herself in the firing line and could spend her Christmas behind bars.
No-one’s going to believe that she isn’t responsible
Tracy’s actions were rash as she soon discovered Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) was the one who had a one night stand with Steve, moments before walking down the aisle.
However, her best friend will face heavy questioning as the police discover the car had been tampered with prior to the crash.
Although her intentions were to get Abi sacked, Tracy will be wracked with guilt when the situation becomes more serious than she expected with a death caused by the accident.
With Abi currently fighting to get her twins back after they went into care, her chances of a reunion will be quickly washed away as she faces a long time behind bars.
Speaking about Abi’s fate, a source told The Sun: “Abi has worked really hard to turn her life around but this could undo all that.
“She’s going to end up behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit and no-one’s going to believe that she isn’t responsible,” the source continued.
Being the only one to know the truth, Tracy could be Abi’s saving grace but to her own detriment as she would then have to reveal what really happened.
Remanded in custody, Abi will attend court with Tracy going to see her friend defend herself as she tried to plead her innocence.
However, with the odds against her, Abi faces a dark Christmas as she could possibly join Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) behind bars and away from her children.
Sally is also currently locked up for a crime she didn’t commit after Duncan Radfield (Nicholas Gleaves) set her up for fraud.
Could this hint at Abi’s spiral into despair as she accepts she will never see them again, or will Tracy give into her guilt?
Elsewhere on the cobbles, Liz McDonald (Beverly Callard) could murder Hannah Gilmore (Hannah Ellis-Ryan) in a shock plot twist after discovering her true identity in Wednesday night’s double bill.
Liz discovered Hannah wasn’t actually her dead daughter Katie after she walked in on her ex Jim McDonald (Charles Lawson) kissing Hannah.
Finally admitting the truth, Jim went to apologise to Liz for trying to scam her and using their dead daughter against her.
Pushing Jim to the ground, viewers saw Liz’s anger emerge, but could she channel this into bringing down Hannah?
Coronation Street continues Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
