There’s no love lost between Carl and Kit in Coronation Street, and a new spoiler clip shows tensions boiling over in dramatic fashion. As the walls continue to close in, Carl finds himself cornered once again, with Kit making it crystal clear: he’s not going anywhere.

In the newly released teaser, Carl is seen inside D&S Alahan’s Corner Shop, where a text message on his phone sparks his attention. It’s from Fiona and reads ‘Meet me at the Chariot Sq Hotel 5pm. Don’t be late!’ But before Carl can even reply, Kit enters, disrupting the moment and setting the tone for a confrontational encounter.

Kit, clearly playing the long game, doesn’t rise to Carl’s bait. Despite Carl accusing him of harassment, Kit remains cool and calculated. With a sly smile, he warns Carl that he’s watching him closely, and chillingly promises that Carl will ‘pay dividends eventually.’

It’s a line that rattles Carl, whose bravado is wearing thinner by the day. Kit, meanwhile, appears to relish having the upper hand, walking away with the last word, and perhaps a small, quiet victory in his campaign to bring Carl down.

Still up to his neck in dodgy dealings, Carl is scrambling to pay off Tracy, who’s blackmailing him over his affair with Abi and threatening to expose the truth to Kevin. Hw has now also roped Dylan and Brody into a dangerous new job. With a serious lack of cash and the clock ticking, Carl recruits the teens to help him steal cars to try make up some funds, quickly.

But things take a dangerous turn when Dylan and Brody speed past George in one of the stolen vehicles. George catches a glimpse of Dylan behind the wheel, and it’s only a matter of time before questions start being asked.

Meanwhile, Kevin and Abi return from holiday to find Carl still working at the garage, much to Kevin’s fury. He wastes no time in demanding Carl be out by the end of the day.

But just as Kevin gives Carl the boot, Abi’s feelings complicate matters further. She confesses to Carl that she can’t stop thinking about him, but their moment is interrupted when Carl’s phone rings. The caller ID? Dylan.

Abi is instantly suspicious. Pressured, Carl finally admits the truth: Dylan and Brody have been helping him steal cars. How Abi will react to this revelation is anyone’s guess, but with Kit already breathing down Carl’s neck, it’s clear this is the beginning of even more chaos.

Still trying to spin his lies, Carl attempts to deflect suspicion in the hit-and-run case that left Tyrone injured. Brody tells Kit that he and Dylan weren’t involved, claiming he was actually having a seizure when the incident occurred.

Brody reminds Carl they abandoned the car and headed to the hospital, but when Carl went back to retrieve it, it had vanished, leading Carl to suggest someone else must have stolen the vehicle and hit Tyrone.

At the station, Dylan is brought in for questioning. Once he confirms his alibi, that he was at the hospital, the police begin to lean toward letting him go. However, with Kit sniffing around and suspicions mounting, Carl may be running out of places to hide.

Kit, more suspicious than ever, continues to keep Carl firmly in his sights. When Abi voices her own concerns about the car that hit Tyrone, speculating that it may have belonged to Fiona, Carl scrambles to keep the story straight.
