Abi Franklin's life seems to go from bad to worse in next week's Coronation Street.
First look pictures at the ITV soap show Abi collapsing in agony by the side of the road before later being grabbed by a mystery man.
The character is set to spiral as she returns to drugs following her split with husband Kevin.
The mechanic walked out on his wife of three months last week after he discovered she had a one-night stand.

Abi begged for Kevin to forgive her but her distraught husband left with son Jack on the campervan holiday the three of them should have been going on.
Since then, Abi has been feeling pretty sorry for herself but she's set to return to a much darker route.
With Kevin believing she slept with her ex, and Seb's dad, Abi wastes no time seeking out old drug dealer mate Dean.
However, when he returns home to see Abi and Dean on the sofa together, he's furious and kicks her out.
And dramatic scenes to be screened on Sunday, March 6, she finds herself in a high-speed stolen car chase.
Following the confrontation with Kevin, Dean steals the keys to the garage and heads over to take one of the motors.
An angered Abi then races over and jumps in the passenger seat when she finds him revving the engine.
She tries to get the keys back off him but misses and soon the pair are soon hurtling down a country road in the car.
But Abi is clearly in pain and as Dean stops the car, she is seen crouching by the side of the road, trying to relieve the agony.
Then, to her horror, Dean jumps into the car and speeds off, leaving Abi drugged up at the side of the road.
While she manages to find her way back to No.13, the reception isn't the warmest so she is soon trying to make things right and set Dean up as she's confronted by Tyrone of the stolen car.
But Abi is soon in danger and ends up in hospital where she has a life-changing decision to make.
Elsewhere, the pictures show a return to the cobbles for Nicky Wheatly.
Kimberly Hart-Simpson has reprised her role as Nicky, the sex worker who was a love interest for Daniel Osbourne following his wife's tragic death.
The pictures show Nicky and Daniel talking in the Rovers while being eagerly watched by Daniel's new girlfriend Daisy Midgley after she already tried to get rid of the returnee.
Charlotte Jordan, who plays Daisy, recently teased that her character will be out to protect her relationship with Daniel from Nicky.
