Coronation Street fans think they know exactly who Abi Franklin's mystery helper is. There were tears for the mechanic during Wednesday night's trip to the cobbles (May 4) as she discovered the fate of her baby son in her custody battle with Imran Habeeb.
The pair went to battle in court over their son, who was born premature earlier this year after Abi went into labour at the side of a road after a drug binge with no idea that she was pregnant. It soon unravelled that the former drug addict, who had relapsed following the breakdown of her relationship with husband Kevin Webster, became pregnant following a one-night stand with Imran in September.
The pair sought comfort in each other following the murder trial for the death of her beloved son Seb Franklin which at that point saw Kelly Neelan, who was in Imran and then-girlfriend Toyah Battersby's care, get sent down for murder after his unsuccessful attempts to clear her name.

With Imran and Toyah now married, and Abi without a legal representative, the new mum was becoming increasingly worried about her chances. But in a show of support, Kevin agreed to go with her to the custody hearing. Before she left for the big decision, there was a surprise for Abi as her former lawyer, Elliot, showed up.
He told her that he'd be representing her again despite Abi's money from Imran running out. When quizzed how he is being paid, he said he was told he had to keep it quiet and Kevin quickly refuted that it was him. And Corrie viewers believe they know exactly who the mystery benefactor is.
