She’s bravely battled addiction, survived prison and even saved the street itself from demolition, but nothing can prepare Coronation Street‘s Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) for the death of her beloved son Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni).

The long-haired lad was killed after him and goth girlfriend Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) became the victims of an unprovoked hate crime attack, targeted purely for their appearance. Viewers saw a gang of teens intimidate the couple, but the truth about who exactly is to blame remains a mystery – one that grieving Abi is determined to solve.
Shortly after, Visinoni took to his own page to tweet a statement that echoed similar sentiments. It read: It s been a wild five years on the cobbles, and I ve loved every second. I ve made memories that I will cherish forever and have worked with the most amazing people. I couldn t have dreamt of a better way to spend these years of my life. Thank you so much for all the support Seb has received throughout his turbulent time on the street, and thank you so much for the amazing response to this immensely important and relevant storyline. There couldn t have been a more worthy end for Seb. It was an honour to be trusted to tell this harrowing story and I hope that we have been able to make a difference and raise awareness. It s been an honour and a privilege. Lots of love, Harry.

Seb and Nina, who recently started dating, were out walking when Corey Brent (Maximus Evans), Kelly Neelan (Millie Gibson) and their gang turned on the pair.
Kelly was egged on by the lads she was with to slap goth Nina, who was encouraging the schoolgirl to go home, but the violence didn’t stop there.
Nina, who seemed heartbreakingly well-versed in name-calling and abuse, set about leaving the scene with Seb, unaware they were being followed by Kelly, Corey and the gang.
