While at the hospital, Abi learns of a diagnosis regarding her son, and this spells trouble for Idris.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"26\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Abi had previously expressed concern regarding the levels of damp in the flat, meaning that Idris could be liable &#8211; in terms of negligence &#8211; for anything that could happen to Alfie. As he has a reputation to uphold, this threatens his ego and livelihood.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"31\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">In a newly-released spoiler clip, which can be viewed below, Abi and Kevin are at the hospital and discuss Alfie&#8217;s condition. Though they have their own personal problems, they put aside all this for the health of their son.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"35\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">They get a shock, however, when Carl arrives with evidence of neglect. He shows them a picture of a wall, covered in mould, from Alfie&#8217;s room. Abi rushes to find a doctor, which is when Idris shows up.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"39\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">He attempts to calm his tenant down, and says that he had no idea that the flat was in such poor condition. Kevin doesn&#8217;t buy his words, however, and threatens Idris with repercussions if Alfie doesn&#8217;t recover.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"43\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">It remains to be seen how the Websters will react to the developments, though we already know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/soaps\/coronation-street\/a71803894\/coronation-street-spoilers-idris-kidnap-storyline\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/soaps\/coronation-street\/a71803894\/coronation-street-spoilers-idris-kidnap-storyline\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Idris will seek clarification from the previous landlord\" data-node-id=\"43.1\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Idris will seek clarification from the previous landlord<\/a>.
