Coronation Street: Kevin set for testicular cancer storyline
2025 is set to be a difficult year for Kevin Webster as he’s diagnosed with testicular cancer. This will cause tension within Kevin and Abi’s marriage.
Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: “As we go into the New Year, Kevin will discover that he’s got testicular cancer, which causes a massive strain on his relationship. 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. Ultimately, it’s about Kevin and Abi’s relationship and testing that relationship.”
Kate then continued: “Abi is going through her own situation as she struggles with the aftermath of a big event that happens in January. She loves Kevin and he loves her, but temptation comes Abi’s way.”
With it being a big year for the Websters, the show will also introduce Kevin and Debbie’s brother Carl onto the cobbles. But, what else will the family be faced with?

As well as Kevin’s health storyline, his sister Debbie will also face a struggle of her own. Whilst it’s unclear what the outcome of Kevin’s cancer storyline will be, Debbie looks set to be sadly killed off as reports suggest a dementia storyline for the much-loved character.
However, Debbie will be sticking around on our screens for a while longer, with it looking promising that she’ll still be with us into 2026.
But, will these different struggles make the Websters stronger as a family? Or, will it be too much for them and tear them apart?
