In scenes that will air across next week, Dee Dee flees from rehab, but Abigail is hot on her heels. Knowing she won’t be able to change her mind, Abigail offers Dee Dee a lift home. After that, Dee Dee later shares a kiss with Maddox Keane.
Meanwhile, after receiving a call that Dee Dee has run away, Tony is relieved when he sees her walk through the door. Later, Tony tells Ant and Dee Dee that they’ll be running the pizza kiosk over the summer for Donny.
In Price Slice, Abigail bumps into Leela and Nancy. Hearing that they’re short staffed at the school, she has an idea and later starts house hunting in the village. Meanwhile, Maddox and Dee Dee grow closer as they plan a summer working together.
Vincent previously told Digital Spy that fans who know her as Sophie Webster will be surprised by Abigail, noting: “She’s miles away from [her]! The best thing is that she’s completely different to what people have seen me play.

“It’s a big thing for me coming in to a more mature role. I’ve always played the young girl; Sophie was the baby of the family. Abigail stands her ground with whatever she says, and I’m having lots of fun playing her.”
Abigail is also set to team up with Cindy Cunningham, with Stephanie Waring set to reprise her role as the beloved character after a two-year absence.
