Coronation Street star Jonathan Howard recently addressed an incident where his car was vandalized in Manchester, referring to it as a “welcome back gift” from local troublemakers. Howard, 38, known for his role as Carl Webster on the popular ITV soap, returned to the UK earlier this year following a stint in Hollywood.
Upon parking his car in Manchester, Howard later discovered that the back windows had been smashed, a common occurrence in the area where thieves target vehicles for quick thefts. Sharing a photo of the damaged car, Jonathan humorously remarked, “Nice little welcome back gift from the Manchester scallies.”
Since joining the show, Howard’s character Carl Webster has brought significant drama as Kevin and Debbie Webster’s previously unseen younger brother. Carl’s storyline has been filled with twists and turns, from seducing his brother’s wife to engaging in questionable business practices at a garage offering fake MOTs.
Carl’s bold and often controversial decisions stem from his character’s inclination towards living on the edge, being a hedonist attracted to individuals regardless of gender. His recent romantic involvement with former footballer James Bailey surprised fans, showing his impulsive nature in pursuing what he desires.
With his unpredictable behavior, Carl has become one of the most intriguing characters on Coronation Street, captivating viewers with his romantic entanglements and shady dealings. Whether facing police investigations or navigating complex family dynamics, Carl’s wild escapades continue to keep audiences engaged and eagerly anticipating the next twist in his storyline.
