ITV Coronation Street fans share theory on how Abi will get Alfie back

Abi Webster is facing a custody battle on Coronation Street, and fans think that they have cracked how it could be resolved.

The ITV soap character, played by Sally Carman, is fighting against Imran Habeeb (Charlie de Melo) for custody of her son, Alfie. It comes after Imran stooped to a whole new low in recent episodes and enlisted the help of dodgy paralegal Ben to try and find evidence that Abi is back on drugs.

Abi hasn't actually relapsed but Imran has been out to make the courts believe that she is an unfit mother. In tonight's episode the distraught mother was in Roy's café preparing for her court battle.

Kelly overheard her telling Roy that today was the anniversary of Seb's attack which led to his death. She wished Abi luck and the mum revealed to her that Imran had hired someone to follow her and they found a bottle of morphine which she had taken from Kelly.

Kelly rushed to beg Imran to change his mind to explain to him what had really happened. But Imran was set in his tracks, not willing to stop the battle.

With Kelly being so keen to try and help Abi get her son back, fans took to Twitter to share their theories of what might happen. Jamie said: "Kelly gonna give Abi some solicitor cash #Corrie"

Roberto said: "I got a feeling Kelly gonna give money to Abi #Corrie" Gary said: "Kelly going to give Abi a few thousand me thinks #Corrie."

Jilly said: "Is Kelly going to do good for Abi #corrie." Helen said: "I'm guessing Kelly will offer Abi the money she needs for a solicitor. #Corrie"

Elliott later confirmed that he would be representing Abi at the custody hearing after his fees are being paid by a mystery donor. Abi asked who and Elliott replied that he was given specific instructions not to say.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
