Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) gets a horrible reminder of a life-changing event in Coronation Street soon when she makes a discovery about Corey Brent.
In 2021, Corey was part of a harrowing hate-crime storyline that saw him and his gang attack Seb and Nina (Mollie Gallagher).
The plot saw Seb die as a result of his injuries. In the devastating aftermath, Nina experienced memory loss as a result of the trauma. Eventually, as she recalled the walk she took with Seb before the attack, she was able to remember what happened and who was involved.
Corey’s part in the attack was only exposed as a result of Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellows), who was homeless at the time. He had found the bag containing Corey’s clothes from the night of the attack and when it was handed to the police, they were able to arrest and charge him.
The ITV soap worked closely with the Sophie Lancaster Foundation in this storyline.
Sophie and her boyfriend Robert Maltby were attacked in a park back in 2007 because of the way they looked. As a consequence of the attack, Sophie died from her injuries and her mother Sylvia chose to set up the foundation in her daughter’s memory.
In this new video, heading into the living room with little Alfie, Abi chats to Kevin about developing a website for the garage.
As Abi listens to the radio, she is taken aback when the presenter mentions Corey Brent – a name always guaranteed to make the hairs on her arms stand on end.
The presenter is talking about football, but Abi is more interested in the fact he put Corey and the word ‘hero’ in the same sentence.
Kevin confesses to Abi that a documentary will air soon all about Corey’s prison football team.
As Abi realises Kevin kept the information from her, she is completely shocked.
