Coronation Street’s Abi Webster (Sally Carman) faces her worst nightmare in tonight’s (Monday, July 6) episode, when son Alfie is rushed to hospital.
With Alfie having difficulty breathing, terrified Abi and Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) rush him to Weatherfield General, hoping to get some answers about what has caused his sudden illness.
After witnessing the family rush through the precinct, Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) and Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) search the flat, only to discover an enormous patch of black mould under Alfie’s bed.
As this video shows, Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) arrives at the hospital with some of Alfie’s things. He explains that while rummaging around for a teddy, he spotted the mould, and is convinced this is why Alfie’s cough is so bad.
Just as Abi rushes to find the doctor, Idris bursts in. She unleashes her anger at him, fully convinced that he is the reason her son is in hospital.
Idris claims that he had no idea the mould was there, but it’s clear those words don’t matter. Kevin even goes as far as saying if Alfie doesn’t recover, he’ll make sure Idris stops breathing.
While Alfie is in hospital, Idris’ love interest Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) and cousin Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) suggest that the person who sold Idris the flat could’ve easily known about the damp issue, and just never bothered to tell him.
This leaves Idris reeling, and he soon enlists Brody’s help in teaching the previous owner a lesson…
Because of the issue with Abi’s flat, she’s forced to pack up her things and move back in with Kevin.
Later, Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) tells Abi that she should speak to Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) about taking legal action.
She’s determined to hold someone accountable, but will Abi succeed?
