Previously discussing her character’s storyline, Sally suggested Abi wants look after her baby without Imran.

Speaking to Digital Spy, she said: ‘I think in an ideal world, she’d love that. She’d love it to just be her and Alfie. They could start afresh.’

‘She could prove to herself that she can be a good mum and provide a loving, safe environment – and right a lot of wrongs through doing that.’

The new images come as Charlie is set to leave the soap later this year, with his exit storyline yet to be revealed.

The actor – who arrived on the cobbles in 2017 – spoke about his character to Manchester Evening News saying: ‘I think he’s far more selfish than he would let on.

‘I think he represents himself as heroic and wants to be seen as heroic – but I don’t think anything he does, really, is selfless.

‘He’s shown that when he has done wrong to the people that he professes to love and be closest to, he does everything he can to avoid responsibility.’

In March The Sun reported that Charlie had ‘loved his time on the soap’ but he believes that now ‘the time is right to try new things.’

A source said he will ‘cherish’ the time he has spent on the cobbles but he is ‘hugely talented and very ambitious and wants to see what else is out there.’

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV
