Coronation Street favourite Sally Carman has sparked fears from fans as she announced an absence from social media.

Posting on her Instagram account, Sally explained that she was taking a break from her socials for a few weeks.

Sally plays Abi Webster on the soap opera.

It was revealed earlier this year that Sally would be ‘taking a break’ from filming, so that she could get a rest from the character’s hard-hitting storylines.

Now it seems as though she is taking a break from social media too.

This announcement has left fans worried.

Where is Abi on Coronation Street?

Abi has not been at the centre of any big storylines since her recent return to screens last month.

However, she remains a presence in the background of the show.

She said earlier this year that it ‘had gone quiet script-wise’ and she was ‘happy to take a back seat.’

Speaking to Digital Spy in January, Sally said: “The brilliant thing about the producers is that unless you actually specifically ask [what’s coming up], they do’’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 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.”
