Abi's Mate

In June 2018, a mate of Abi Franklin attended a party thrown by Abi at 11 Coronation Street where she flirted with Steve McDonald. After the party, Abi was able to use a photograph of the friend, Den and another party guest flirting with Steve to bribe him into remaining quiet about Abi living in Eileen Grimshaw's house in fear of her showing his girlfriend Tracy Barlow.
