Is Abi the new Becky?
I am loving Abi Franklin in Coronation Street as I've always rated actress Sally Carman and really enjoyed watching her in Shameless. In Corrie, she's a rough diamond, the likes of which we've seen before and I'm starting to see some similarities with another brazen bottle blonde - Becky.
I hope that Abi's rough edges don't get knocked off her too soon and that she stays a bit rough and ready for a long time to come.
Who knows... there might even be a relationship on the cards for Abi and Steve in the future?
Fancy writing a guest blog post for us? All details here!

I think the similarities are the problem for me. We see this all the time in Corrie, it’s a reliable trope. Rough woman comes along, then gradually the edges are worn down until all that remains is a big gob and a heart of gold.
See Karen, Leanne, Becky, Kylie, Shona, Maddie and Gemma for reference.
I’d quite like to see Abi do something different, maybe through a more realistic depiction of her addiction?
She wishes...... :)
