Coronation Street fans were left baffled amid Abi Webster's pregnancy nightmare, as she featured in the "centre page spread" of the Weatherfield Gazette.Abi recently gave birth to a baby boy, Alfie, without even realising she was pregnant.And she was thrown into further turmoil by a paternity riddle which suggests Imran Habeeb - who she had a one night stand with - is the father, rather than her husband Kevin.But on Wednesday (March 16), Abi's sister-in-law Debbie flew round to the house to confront her with a newspaper which bore Abi's name on the front page.Eagle-eyed fans of the show, however, were quick to point out that this simply wouldn't happen, as the newspaper in question wouldn't be able to name Abi as the drug-fuelled mum who abandoned her baby at the hospital.Later, Abi theorised with Imran that it must have been one of the members of staff on the maternity ward who leaked Abi's name to the press.But that doesn't explain why the press opted to use the information. Abi was left fretting about everyone finding out that she had cheated on Imran, and that baby Alfie isn't Kevin's.Taking to Twitter, one baffled fan wrote: "Oh please.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeAs production on Season 2 of HBO’s “The White Lotus” continues in Sicily, Italy, the Television Academy has now confirmed that the show’s first season will nonetheless be eligible to compete as a limited series in this year’s Emmy Awards.The ruling comes even though original cast member Jennifer Coolidge is set to return for the seven-episode second installment of the hit series. Even though that would appear to make Season 2 a continuation of “The White Lotus,” and therefore a drama, the Academy ruled that it could still fall under its rules in the outstanding limited or anthology series category.That’s because, according to the org, “In this case, the reappearance in a subsequent ‘season’ of one character from a large ensemble does not prohibit eligibility based on Academy’s main criteria for limited series.” Coolidge, as wealthy hotel guest Tanya, was a supporting character in Season 1 — though, given the large ensemble cast, all of the show’s actors will be submitting in the supporting categories at the Emmys.It may be a bit of semantics, but the TV Academy stipulates that for a show to be considered a limited series, “the story arc must be completely resolved within its season, with no ongoing storyline and/or main characters in subsequent seasons.”Because Coolidge’s character is not a “main” character, it passes that test on a bit of a technicality.
