Coronation Street<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street legend Michael Le Vell has shared his hopes for another Webster family bombshell, after the huge twist involving Carl and Debbie. Last week, the soap confirmed a popular fan theory that Debbie is Carl\u2019s biological mother<\/a>, rather than his older sister.<\/p>\n

The twist was revealed to viewers when Debbie was seen looking at a baby\u2019s hospital band in a box of mementoes \u2013 but Carl has grown up thinking his mum was Elaine<\/a> and still doesn\u2019t know the truth.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive chat with Inside Soap<\/a>, Michael, who plays Debbie\u2019s brother Kevin, tells us his thoughts on this huge family curveball, and suggests who Carl\u2019s dad could therefore be.<\/p>\n

“We thought, \u2018oh, that\u2019s a good twist!\u2019” he recalls. “Then we all started putting our subplots on it about who the dad might be. Terry Duckworth could be one, or another one is Brian Tilsley.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s about the same era, but can you imagine that? It would be great for the Platts and Websters to be somehow related!”<\/p>\n

Kevin has been in turmoil following his wife Abi\u2019s affair with Carl<\/a> and the subsequent breakdown of their marriage, and Michael admits that he was sad when the characters split. <\/p>\n

“I was gutted, but it\u2019s given us a story to tell,” he explains. “It involved Carl and Debbie, which has been fantastic because without that storyline, we wouldn\u2019t have had all these scenes together. So it\u2019s also a blessing in disguise. But hopefully, they will see that Kevin and Abi actually work well together and they deserve each other!”<\/p>\n

But regardless of whether or not Kevin and Abi will ever reconcile, Michael is clear that he doesn\u2019t want his character to reunite with his most famous other half \u2013 for a very good reason. <\/p>\n

He shares: “I would love nothing more than Kevin and Abi to get back together. Someone said to me the other week, \u2018what about Kevin and Sally getting back together?\u2019 And I said, \u2018absolutely not\u2019.<\/p>\n

“Not because I don\u2019t love Sally Dynevor [who plays Sally], because I do, it\u2019s because I love Sally and Tim together. I think they are a great couple, and it would be such a shame to split them two up.”<\/p>\n
