Coronation Street’s Kevin Webster is set to be diagnosed with testicular cancer in upcoming scenes as actor Michael Le Vell takes on the huge issue-based storyline.
Next week, Debbie Webster (Sue Delvaney) calls in at No.13 and finds Kevin visibly stressed as he explains that he’s found a lump.
A shocked Debbie urges Kevin to share his worries about his lump with Abi Webster (Sally Carmen) and when Kevin finds a tearful Abi in the memorial garden for her late son Seb Franklin, he realises that now is not the time to tell her his worrying news.
Unaware of what Kevin’s going through, Abi tells Kevin that little Alfie Franklin has a cold so she is going to spend the day at home with him.

“Abi is a really strong character, but she’s going through her own turmoil at the same time. We want to tell this really truthfully.
“We’ve been working closely with Macmillan to make sure that we tell the story right.” Kate added that the story will be “about their relationship” and “testing that relationship”. Fans will have to wait and see if Kevin’s diagnosis sees him leave the cobbles after over four decades.
