Kevin Webster has finally been freed from the fridge he was stuck in with Debbie but a lot of Coronation Street fans had a question to ask him.
Since Friday, Debbie (played by Sue Devaney) and Kev (Michael Le Vell) have been stuck in a fridge after dastardly businessman Ray Crosby took revenge on double-crossing Debbie.
The pair looked like they would perish in the Bistro’s fridge as the sub-zero temperatures took their toll but Kevin’s girlfriend, fellow mechanic Abi Franklin, saved the day.
In dramatic scenes, Abi managed to force the broken door open to find her lover and his sister slumped on the cold store floor.

While viewers were overjoyed that Abi had come to the rescue, there were some that questioned why Kevin had not found a solution beforehand.
Some soap fans pointed to Kevin’s car mechanic prowess and asked why he didn’t have something about him to find a way out of their predicament with some engineering know how.
For TV viewers of a certain generation, there were echoes of The A Team and how they could fashion an escape using the items around them in a confined space and Corrie fans are baffled as to why Kevin didn’t do the same.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer asked: “A car mechanic either side of a locked freezer door and neither mechanic seems to know how to open a door which has a broken handle.”
Another tweeted: “Right, Kevin is a mechanic! He’s locked in a fridge with the handle smashed off, surely he could use his knowledge to devise a new handle or something to open the door with what’s in that fridge.”
Mechanic Kevin, who has been on the cobbles since 1983, was taken to hospital in an ambulance but this led to viewers asking what happened to Debbie.
One asked on Twitter: “Is Debbie dead?”
Another asked: “So is Debbie alive or?”
While a third wrote: “Did then mention how Debbie was doing – if she survived??”
There were happier scenes in the hospital later as Abi came to visit Kevin.
He was naturally happy to see his saviour and in emotional scenes, Abi popped the question.
She asked nervously: “Kev just marry me eh?”
A delighted Kev replied: “Of course I will.”
Fortunately for Abi, the experience in the fridge didn’t lead to Kevin giving her the cold shoulder and the experience has warmed him to her even more.
