Coronation Street fans say one of the soap's stars should get 'all the awards' after latest scenes left them 'in bits'.
Abi Franklin hasn't had the easiest of rides since arriving in Weatherfield.
But just as she appeared to be creating a better life for herself, including getting engaged to Kevin Webster, her world tragically fell apart when son Seb was killed.
The grief-stricken mum has been struggling as Kelly Neelan and Corey Brent await trial for the hate crime which also saw Seb's girlfriend Nina Lucas attacked for being a goth.

After trashing a memorial garden set up by Nina and friend Asha Alahan, Kevin suggested Abi put her feelings down on paper and write a victim impact statement to be read in court.
Struggling to put pen to paper, Brian Packham offered to help after previously helping her gain her English GCSE.
On Wednesday night's double Corrie trip, viewers watched Abi and Brian get to work on her statement before he read out the heartbreaking words.
"They say sorry for your loss, but I think I haven't lost my son. Seb was taken away from me," Brian said reading from a sheet of paper.
"He wasn't ill, it wasn't a tragic accident, it was a choice. Someone made a choice to hurt my boy. That's it. Game over."
He continued: "How do I live with that? How? And now he's gone, I can't see the reason for anything.
"I can't see the point in anything."
Brian became choked up as tears quickly fell down Abi's face. But he continued on, speaking while trying to hold back the tears.
After he finished, the pair shared an emotional, agreeable nod.
And fans were quick to take to social media to praise the pair for the tearful scenes.
"#corrie @sallycarman1 beautiful scene.....so compelling, and 100% convincing!!" tweeted one.
Another said: "Abi literally breaks my heart #corrie @sallycarman1 for all the awards."
"Wow...just wow - amazing scenes tonight from the amazing @sallycarman1 and #PeterGunn (Brian) in tonight's #Corrie . Sally, how do you do it? You are an absolutely phenomenal actress," a third added.
A fourth commented: "The scene with Brian and Abbie was #Corrie at its best, a friendship of polar opposite people, emotional, well written and beautifully acted @sallycarman1 @itvcorrie."
"That scene between Brian and Abbie where Brian has helped write the victim statement was absolutely outstanding. Quiet, nuanced, sensitive, empathetic. Beautifully done. #coronationstreet #Corrie," another said.
