What happened to Seb Franklin on Coronation Street?

Sadly, Seb’s relationship with Nina wasn’t of everyone’s approval. The pair found themselves involved with Corey Brent and Kelly Neelan’s gang who soon started targeting Nina for her goth appearance.

As Nina and Seb tried to run away, they were attacked. But, sadly, Corey Brent kicked and kicked Seb so much that his injuries were too severe. Abi was devastated to hear about Seb’s attack on her hen night.

Seb ended up dying the next day as a result of the hate crime.
