Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street hinted at an upcoming plotline involving Abi Franklin in tonight's (October 6) episode.

Tez, the father of tragically murdered teen Seb, has turned up on the ITV soap, providing a blast from the past for EastEnders fans.

In the second of tonight's episodes, Kevin Webster informed him that his young son had been killed in a brutal, senseless attack and explained that he was afraid Abi had turned back to drugs in her grief.

The newcomer insisted that he had no idea about Abi's whereabouts and hadn't been in touch with her.

However, at the end of the episode, we saw Tez making a phone call to Abi (who we didn't see), warning her that Kevin had been asking around about her.

Although he tried to throw Kevin off the scent, Tez warned Abi that if their plans got discovered, he'd be dropping out.

So what are their plans? Well, we've got Corrie's Super Soap Week coming up soon, and it's already been revealed that Abi is intent on getting revenge on Corey, with the sinkhole collapse perhaps giving her the perfect opportunity to do so...

It's been confirmed that there will be deaths across the week, but that's all that's been revealed for now. You won't have wait long to see what happens, though.

"We set out to make a week of breathless, brilliant drama – and boy, have our outstanding cast, crew, design team and writers delivered," Corrie producer Iain MacLeod teased. "The week is jammed packed with twists and turns, and astonishing visual spectacle. It also has heart, heroism and humour in the most unexpected places. I have to say it again: our team has excelled themselves."

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
