Next week in the ITV soap, grief-stricken mother Abi (Sally Carman) worries her loved ones as she boils with rage as the court trial of the gang leader Corey Brent (Maximus Evans) and Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) is near at hand.
Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) tries to help by suggesting she can advance Seb’s justice by writing a victim impact statement she’ll use later at the court.
However, Abi admits she struggles to pen one, and Brian (Peter Gunn) overhearing them while in Speed Daal offers a hand.
Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) helps Abi process her feelings and suggests she describes first how Seb’s death devastated her forever, then he’ll deal with the technicalities of the paper.
But will Brian effectively put Abi’s emotions into words to influence the result of the court trial?

Abi is not new to heartbreak as she battled with recurring drug addiction and had lost Seb’s younger twin siblings before. But when things were starting to work out right with Kevin by her side, Seb’s hate attack happened.
Soap star Sally Carman has confirmed that Abi’s impulsive nature will affect how she processes grief in her darkest chapter ever in her previous interview with the media documented by Coronation Street Blog.
“Abi being the impulsive emotional creature that she is there’s not a lot of emotional maturity going on there – either. There are a few occasions when she decides to take matters into her own hands but luckily she’s talked down from that,” Sally said.
It is because she’s left reeling and is broken-hearted and to top all of that she’s struggling in dealing with the guilt from Seb’s childhood.
In desperate hopes that Seb will get the justice he deserves, Abi is forced to trust the police for the very first time in her life.

“… which is against every fiber in her body. But if, for whatever reason, justice isn’t done, that’s when Abi will totally lose it and revert to type. At the end of the day, even if the culprit gets life in prison, they’re still breathing, and her son isn’t.”
Talking about the importance of the hate storyline, Sally described it as an “age-old story” that still lingers.
“It’s never going to go away until we can get information and awareness out there and for avenues to be opened. We need to report hate crimes,” she encouraged.
