KEVIN Webster has left soap fans scratching their heads as they’ve noticed a change in his appearance.
The Coronation Street stalwart went from being clean-shaven to sporting a full beard by the end of the episode.
Abi Webster (portrayed by Sally Carman) has been trying to get custody of her son Alfie following Imran Habeeb’s death.
After months of struggle with her estranged husband Kevin (played by Michael Le Vell), she’s finally receiving the support she needs from him.
During Friday’s hour-long trip to Weatherfield, the viewers saw the couple standing their ground together as Abi went back to court for Alfie’s custody.
However, viewers were distracted by Kevin who had changed his look by the end of the instalment.

The mechanic was seen with a shaved face at the beginning of the episode but was sporting a full beard by the time Abi was sent away for a fresh beginning with her baby.
ITV viewers spoke about the continuity error on Twitter.
“Lack of Kevin beard continuity tonight”, one of them wrote as another added: “Amazed how Kevin can grow a full beard in three or so hours. Clean shaven when he and Jack were arguing at the start of the episode, full beard again when seeing Abi off to the hostel.”
“Catching up with Corrie… wtf is going on with Kevin’s beard?”, a third penned.
But the change in Kevin’s appearance was only a minor detail as Abi did all she could to try and get custody of Alfie.
When she badmouthed the justice system to the judge in charge of her case, she believed she had ruined all of her chances, particularly as the local authority solicitor listed her failings as a mother.
The latter then recommended that Alfie remained in care.
