In the car park a handsome man called Carl tries to steal Abi’s parking space causing her to prang her car. Abi loses her temper shouting that her husband is suffering from cancer, she lashes out, giving Carl a bloodied nose. Mortified, she apologises and he shrugs it off and heads back to his car. After it fails to start Abi offers to fix it. When he tells her she is funny and gorgeous and asks her out for a drink what will she say? Back at the Rovers she regales Kevin, Debbie and Ronnie with the car park story, minus the attraction between her and the driver. But as she comes back from the ladies she is shocked to find Carl chatting to the others and realises he is Kevin and Debbie’s brother. As he listens to Kevin repeating Abi’s story will he come clean about being the man she met? Meanwhile Debbie makes a furtive call and arranges an appointment at the memory service clinic.

How on earth does Carl have a Manchester accent when he's spent nearly 40 years in Germany? He probably went to an international school where he would have picked up standard English without a regional accent. Or he might even have a mild German accent.
I'd love the actor to try speaking German (if he can :) )
He did use a German expression actually. Forgotten what it was now, but a nice touch. That's why I was so annoyed about the accent.
Bethany platt was whisked off to Milan when she was around 4 , came back to the street when she was around 18 and didn't have the slightest trace of an Italian accent. Peter and Susan Barlow were brought up in Scotland, weren't they, and neither had Scots accents.
By the way- Dee Dee's baby - the most likely people who would want Lalia is Joel's parents, as they wanted to adopt Frankie. Yet, strangely, there are nowhere to be seen!
I am disappointed tht Karl doesn't have a German accent either as he's never once set foot in England and was raised by a german mother. As for Abi finding him attractive. Her husband has cancer, she has two sons now having lost her other children...you would think that she wouldn't squander this second chance at life, that she would run from an affair. Of course that's real life then isn't it....just find this whole introduction of Karl terrible.

Carl’s mother is English, not German. She’s Percy Sugden’s niece, Elaine.
