Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street star Sally Carman is currently filming a previously teased new story for her character Abi Webster.
Abi has been keeping her head down following her custody battle ordeal for baby Alfie, but new pictures obtained by Digital Spy confirm the mechanic will bump again into an old face.
New snaps from set see Abi handing out some cash to drug dealer Dean Turnbull, played once again by Anthony Crank. Abi, who is a recovering drug addict, has relapsed before, with her shenanigans with Dean having seen them involved in an auto theft from Kevin's garage.

The dramatic moment took a turn when Abi realised she was pregnant and had a change of heart, but Dean didn't think twice about leaving her stranded by the side of a road.
What to Read Next
The duo met again in another dangerous showdown, with Abi falling and banging her head and the drug dealer leaving her for dead. But their encounters didn't stop there, with Abi recently defending Cassie Plummer, portrayed by Claire Sweeney, against Dean when Cassie owed him money.

Speaking about the storyline earlier in the year, Corrie producer Iain MacLeod promised a "massive culture clash comedy" between Abi and someone from her past.
It isn't clear whether this person really is Dean, but it seems they will "be the last possible person you'd expect to find in her backstory".
"She meets somebody from her past she has a historical connection with, who is the polar opposite, so it's an odd couple story," MacLeod also said in an interview published in January.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
