The struggling character – played by actress Sally Carman – is desperate to see her twins Lexi and Charlie, who have been adopted.
She hopes to catch a glimpse of the kids as they arrive home with their adoptive mum.
Abi is praying the kids will look miserable, but soon realise their have changed dramatically – and for the better.
When she sees her kids enjoying themselves, she is left in tears as it dawns on her how bad a mother she really is.
She can only stand and watch as her kids arrive home with smiles on their faces.
Earlier this year, Steve McDonald caught Abi with heroin in her bag.
She had been trying to sort herself out and get her twins back from social services, but she lost that chance after being booted out of Eileen's house.
In real life, things are going much better for the actress who plays Abi.
The Sun's Bizarre column recently revealed that Sally has been dating Joe Duttine, who has played Tim Metcalfe since 2013.
Joe and Sally hit it off while filming the long-running ITV series in Manchester and went on a string of secret dates.
They recently told colleagues about their budding relationship and were holding hands at the Coronation Street summer party in the city’s Victoria Warehouse.
A telly source said: “Both Joe and Sally had been single for a while and just met at the right time in their lives.
“Sally thinks Joe is a funny and caring guy and he’s really fallen for her, too. They’ve now told their castmates and everyone thinks it’s a match made in heaven.”
