\n\t\tCarl Webster is a busy man (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

When it comes to adultery, you\u2019d think a bloke who did the dirty with his brother\u2019s missus would be a seasoned pro.<\/p>\n

Not Carl Webster<\/a> (Jonathan Howard<\/a>). In upcoming Coronation Street episodes, the pound-shop love-rat makes a major slip up that might have just exposed his lates sordid affair to his partner Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine.)<\/p>\n

Carl didn\u2019t exactly endear himself to Coronation Street fans when he embarked on a passionate affair with Abi. Yes, at the time was married to Carl\u2019s half-brother and Weatherfield legend Kevin Webster<\/a> (Michael Le Vell). <\/p>\n

But the Worst Webster wasn\u2019t<\/a> going to let a little thing like family loyalty get in the way of a good time. <\/p>\n

Only maybe it was more than a good time? Even after the two dirty so-and-so\u2019s were finally exposed, Carl and Abi chose to stay together and make a go of things.<\/p>\n

But what started beneath the sheets is dying on the Street as viewers have seen Carl quickly develop buyer\u2019s remorse for his new relationship. Abi gave up her comfortable \u2013 if slightly dull \u2013 marriage to Kevin\u00a0for a future with Carl. <\/p>\n

However, Carl has already tried to put the brakes on moving in with Abi and her son Alfe, secretly irritated that the little lad is becoming a gooseberry. <\/p>\n

Feeling trapped, Carl was quickly on the lookout for the next bit of excitement\u2026 and excitement\u2019s what he got in the arms<\/a> of James Bailey<\/a> (Jason Callendar)<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a new fling. Carl was already seeing James when he was sneaking about with Abi (Seriously, what does this man\u2019s Google Calendar look like?) But when #Cabi\u2019s affair was made public during Ronnie\u2019s birthday dinner at the Bistro, James realised he was being two-timed and cooled things off.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Carl
\n\t\tHow will Carl get out of this? (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

Since domestic bliss with Abi and Alfie isn\u2019t all it\u2019s cracked up to be, Carl\u2019s been rekindling his passionate frisson on the Cobbles with James. <\/p>\n

The tawdry twosome have already had a close call when Carl\u2019s sister Debbie caught them together, and Carl gaslighted into believing that her dementia was getting worse (class act, right?).<\/p>\n

But this time, Carl\u2019s about to make a mistake he might not be able to talk himself out of\u2026<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tCan\u2019t wait for the next twist?\t\t\t<\/p>\n

In upcoming episodes, a hungover James reads the drunken text message he sent to Carl and kicks himself. <\/p>\n

He tells Carl to ignore it, insisting it was just a drunken mistake and nothing more. But Carl reveals that he\u2019s lost his phone<\/a>. James hopes for his sake that Abi doesn\u2019t find it\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 but this is Soap Land. You know she\u2019s going to. Sure enough, Carl finds his phone just in time\u2026 but before he can stop her, Abi looks over his shoulder. How will the Worst Webster get out of this one?<\/p>\n
