Abi Franklin left Coronation Street fans delighted as she unmasked a mystery character amid a tense court case.
The grieving mother of Seb Franklin is keen to see her son’s killers punished.
As Corey Brent’s father Stefan left no expense spared in making sure his murderous son was saved from prison.
In Friday’s episodes, Corey’s friend Eli Higginson already pleaded guilty to beating Nina Lucas but backed Corey’s fictional version of events that Kelly Neelan killed Seb.
However, Abi was suspicious when she spotted a mysterious man at the trial watching Eli’s testimony along with Stefan.
Then after some investigating online, Abi found that the man was Eli’s dad, Christian.
Later at home, Abi revealed to partner Kevin Webster: "I had to sign up to one of those career sites.
"Eli's dad has just announced a new job two weeks ago, senior logistics consultant at Corey's dad's company."
Kevin noted: “Could just be a coincidence?"
However, Abi went on: "Sounds made up to me, guess what job he did before that? Delivery driver.
“From minimum wage one week to desk job and company car the next, that's not climbing the ladder that's a flaming rocket ship.
"It means he's on the take and Corey's dad is doing the handouts."
Kevin went on to suggest that Abi take the evidence to the police.
In the final moments of the episode, Abi said“Don't worry I'm bringing this guy down.”
Will Abi be able to bring down Corey and his dad Stefan?
