Dastardly Stefan Brent (Paul Opacic) has come to blows with the iconic Debbie

Webster (Sue Devaney) in Coronation Street – and it could have devastating consequences.

As viewers of ITV soap know, Debbie’s sister-in-law Abi (Sally Carman) became victim

to some cruel deepfake porn attacks after challenging the broadcast of a documentary based on her son’s killer’s football team.

Corey Brent, the killer in question, has been locked up since murdering Seb in 2021.

After finding out that Corey’s dad Stefan owned the production company responsible for the documentary, she became convinced that he was the one who had created the vile videos and reported him to DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), who informed her there was little the police could do.

Clearly startled that the truth may come to light, Stefan agreed to agreed to pay to take down the videos, but after learning it would cost £60k annually, he backed out.

Abi couldn’t believe that Kevin (Michael Le Vell) went behind her back to make the deal, and Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) urged him to apologise – but it was too late.

Overwhelmed, she decided she needed a break and told Kevin she was planning to stay with her other children and their adoptive mother in Essex.

Now back on the cobbles, it seems the woes haven’t quite finished for our Abi as the videos have now spread around Weatherfield High.

In tonight’s (24th July) episode, her step-son Jack (Kyran Bowes) – who was unaware that they were circulating – was being ripped to shreds by his mates over the clips.

Hope Dobbs (Isabella Flanagan) rushed to his defence, but it took his aunt Debbie to get them to clear off and she invited him for a cuppa.

In the café, she came clean about what had gone on and he urged her not to tell Kevin and Abi that he knew.

Later, at the Chariot Square Hotel, Debbie was shocked to see Stefan arrive for a business meeting. Charging over to his table, she demanded he left or she’d ring the police.

As he stood up, he warned her that she’d regret it.

Could Debbie be the next to fall victim to the deepfake videos?
