Coronation Street‘s Kevin and Abi Webster went on the rampage tonight (May 24), as the deepfake revenge-porn storyline continued.
The couple were recently shocked to discover that a video of “Abi” having sex had been posted online, with Abi feeling even more violated as she had no memory of ever being filmed.
In the latest episode, Abi was angry to see it being shared on websites faster than she could report it.
Believing it was drug dealer Dean, who took advantage of her once when she was under the influence, she cornered him in the street and threatened him with a wrench.
He pleaded that it wasn’t him, and she only let him go after Kevin turned up and told her she’d be the one in trouble with the police.
Back at home, Abi said she needed to bite the bullet and watch the video. She immediately knew that it wasn’t her, pointing out a tattoo that she doesn’t have.
She explained to Kevin that it was a deepfake and that Dean was not technology-savvy enough to do it. She added that he was too much of a “do it himself” person to get someone else to create the video for him.
