Sally Carman, who plays Abi Webster on Coronation Street, recently spoke about her character's storyline and the possibility of an on-screen affair with her real-life husband Joe Duttine, who plays Tim Metcalfe on the soap.
Despite Abi facing temptation in the coming weeks, as she struggles with the loss of Mason Radcliffe and her husband Kevin Webster's cancer diagnosis, Sally has ruled out any possibility of her character cheating with Tim.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Sally shared her thoughts on the potential storyline, saying that while it would be a challenging and exciting role for her as an actor, she ultimately doesn't think it fits with Abi's character. She also mentioned how the temptation could serve as a distraction from the sadness and loss Abi has experienced in her life, and how it reminds her character of her youth.
However, she did clarify that Joe's character will not be Abi's new love interest, as that would be too awkward and bizarre for them as real-life partners. Sally also joked about their lack of chemistry on-screen and how it would never work out.
Sally and Joe met on the set of Coronation Street and got married in 2022. Interestingly, on the show, Sally's character Abi is married to Kevin Webster, whose ex-wife Sally Metcalfe is married to Joe's character Tim Metcalfe. Sally is also a stepmother to Joe's three children from a previous relationship.
While the couple may not share any on-screen romance, they continue to work together on the long-running soap and are happily married in real life.
