Coronation Street fans think they have spotted the warning signs of a dangerous new storyline for Tracy McDonald which could see her infected with HIV. Viewers know that Seb Franklin has the condition and when he trashed the florists in a rage against Tracy for making his mum Abi take the fall for the tampering to Michelle Connors car, he left a smear of blood on the broom handle he used.
He unleashed a frenzied attack on the shop and grazed his hand but when Abi caught him in the act, she grabbed the broom and took the blame when Ken Barlow then walked in and called the police.
Tracy didnt want to press charges but it wasnt up to her and Abi is now left facing a prison sentence as she takes the rap for her son. However, the bigger worry for viewers is that both Tracy and Abi touched the blood on the broom, sparking fears that they could become infected.

At this stage, the speculation remains a fan theory – it is unknown whether this is the start of a bigger storyline down the line. Metro.co.uk has reached out to spokespersons for the show but they dont tend to comment on future storylines.
Meanwhile, there is further agony for Abi as she is locked up for 16 weeks – with Sally Metcalfe as her cellmate. And she will soon be roped into helping Sally try and delay her trial. But as they take drastic action, will Sallys situation be made worse?
Back home, Seb is determined to apply to adopt the twins but he is warned that to have any chance of success in having the kids live with him, he will need to cut all ties with his incarcerated mum as she is considered a risk to them.
