Coronation Street fans fear couple have quit the soap after they go missing
CORONATION Street fans have revealed fears one couple have quit the ITV soap after weeks off screen.
Actors Sally Carman and Joe Duttine play Abi Webster and Tim Metcalfe on the Cobbles but are married in real life.
Last night a beaming Sally, 41, and husband Joe, 52, posed for a photo on Instagram after enjoying a tour of the House of Commons in London.
Sally – who was spotted on the set of Corrie this week – captioned the snap: “Just hanging in the House of Commons with the BEST tour guide @peymiddlehurst.”
Fans were delighted to see the couple out and about, and one penned: “That’s an outstanding photo of you all… aww look at joe’s face bless him priceless. Miss Abi on Corrie stay safe peeps”.
Another wanted to know: “When are you both back in street?”

And a third asked: “@sally_carman__ am I missing something and far behind the news or does it seem like we’ve not seen you on Corrie for ages where have you gone? When are you back?”
Sally recently revealed her character was “taking a back seat” after months of tough storylines.
Viewers have watched as Abi gave away her twins, grieved for her son Seb who was murdered and dealt with the guilt of causing Natasha Blakeman’s death as she got revenge for Seb.
She also cheated on husband Kevin, played by Michael Le Vell, went into labour after not realising she was pregnant and lost custody of baby Alfie to his father Imran – as well as relapsing into drugs.

Reflecting on Abi’s roller coaster life, Sally told Digital Spy: “The brilliant thing about the producers is that unless you actually specifically ask [what’s coming up], they don’t tell you.
“I never ask because I can’t hold my own water, so the less I know, the better! Or else I’d just be telling you everything – which might be good for you, not so good for me.
“So I actually don’t know, but I know that it’s gone quite quiet script-wise. So I’m guessing that she’s going to be happy for a bit. Which suits me fine!”
She added: “I’ve had so many big storylines, I think people need a break. So I’m quite happy to take a back seat for a bit.”
Sally and Joe married earlier this year after delaying their wedding due to the Covid pandemic.
They shared snaps finally tied the knot earlier this year before jetting off for a honeymoon in Italy.
