Acting greats shine in an aperitif of a play that leaves you hungry

Escaped Alone is set in a garden where Sally, Vi and Lena, three like-minded retired woman, are shooting the breeze on patio chairs. The conversation has the informal shorthand quality of people who know each other well. Non sequiturs tumble out giving the chat a disjointed, Beckettian feel. They are joined by Mrs Jarrett, a little different to them, a little other-worldly, scruffier in her dress and witchy in her demeanour.

Realising their mistake, the photo was removed and reposted on the Corrie handle instead. The picture was of mechanic Abi, played by Sally Carman-Duttine, and her brother-in-law Carl (Jonathan Howard). Advertisement The two characters are embroiled in an affair, but things could be about to change after they were captured on camera. Sally recently spoke about her character's dramas on the cobbles, including her secret fling with her brother-in-law. "It's complete lust at first sight," Sally told Ok!. "There's that undeniable chemistry – it's palpable. They just click. It was an instant attraction – they bounced off each other and it reignites something in Abi that's been dormant for ages. Advertisement "She's an addict and this gives her a thrill. It's a different kind of thrill, but it's exhilarating for her." Meanwhile, in real life actress Sally is actually happily married to a fellow Corrie star. In the same interview, she opened up about why working with her husband on the soap is a nightmare. Watch the moment Coronation Street's Carl Webster makes a move on sister-in-law Abi Webster Sally married co-star Joe Duttine in 2022, who plays taxi boss Tim Metcalfe.

'I love Joe to bits, but I don't like working with him – I'm never going to like working with him." Sally added: "Bless him, we've got very different work processes – let's just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared and he likes to flesh it out on the floor." "Also, he's very funny. I'm such a giggler and once I've gone, I'm gone. It's terrible and even if people get annoyed about it, it doesn't help." She continued: "He absolutely makes me howl with laughter and he does it on purpose. I get cross with him because he knows the situation, but he can't help himself.' Advertisement Sally and Joe quickly fell in love after she first joined Corrie in 2017 and became engaged three years late. They finally tied the knot in 2022 after having to put their wedding on hold due to the pandemic.
