Coronation Street star Sally Carman-Duttine has once again captivated fans with a dramatic hair transformation. The actress, who portrays the beloved mechanic Abi Webster, debuted a stunning copper red look last month before returning to her signature blonde locks, leaving her co-stars and followers in awe.
A New Look for Abi Webster
Best known for her trademark blonde bob and greasy overalls, Sally Carman-Duttine surprised fans on March 14 by sharing a photo of her striking new copper hair on Instagram. The post, captioned 'Who dis?', showcased a radiant transformation far removed from the character's usual style. Co-stars quickly flooded the comments with praise. Vicky Myers, who plays DS Lisa Swain, wrote, 'Wow! Wow! Wow! gorgeous.' Julia Goulding, known as Shona Platt, commented, 'Fit Fire cracker!' Tony Maudsley, who portrays George Shuttleworth, added, 'You foxy minx!! This is gorgeous!!' Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster, gushed, 'Very wow! Very beautiful! Very lady in red!' Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah Battersby, humorously claimed partial credit for the new style.
Return to Blonde
Just a month later, Sally returned to her classic blonde hair, crediting her hairstylist Leah Riley as 'The Magician' for seamlessly transitioning her from copper back to blonde. In an Instagram post, she expressed gratitude to Riley and Great Lengths UK for their expertise, calling the transformation 'no mean feat' and declaring herself 'in awe' of the results.
Abi's Journey on Coronation Street
Since joining the show in October 2017, Abi Webster has evolved from a brief guest role into a central character. Initially introduced as a drug addict whose children were taken into care, Abi has faced numerous dramatic storylines, including a vigilante justice arc after her son Seb's death, a custody battle for her son Alfie that led to a fatal car crash, and PTSD from failing to save Mason Radcliff. She also became a target of deepfake revenge porn. Despite the chaos, Abi found stability with Kevin Webster, marrying him and working as a mechanic. However, the arrival of Kevin's long-lost brother Carl sparked a passionate affair, leading to turmoil. Now, with a mysterious whodunnit looming, Carl is one of five potential victims, and actor Jonathan Howard has hinted at a possible exit.
Fans eagerly await the unfolding drama, as Abi's story continues to captivate audiences on the cobbles.
