Coronation Street Star Sally Carman Wows in Santorini as Co-Stars Call Her “Sexy” During Romantic Getaway with Husband Joe Duttine
From Weatherfield Affairs to Real-Life Romance
On screen, Sally Carman is tangled in one of Coronation Street’s juiciest scandals. As Abi Webster, she’s at the center of a messy affair that has left her marriage to Kevin Webster hanging by a thread. But away from Weatherfield’s drama, the actress’s real life couldn’t be more different.
Sally, 50, has been enjoying a sun-soaked break in Greece with her husband and fellow Corrie star Joe Duttine, who plays Tim Metcalfe. Their latest trip to Santorini sparked a flood of love from fans and co-stars alike—especially after Sally shared a series of dazzling holiday snaps that showed off both romance and relaxation.
A Love Story Written on the Cobbles
For many Corrie fans, Sally and Joe’s relationship feels like a storyline all on its own. The pair met on set six years ago, with their friendship blossoming into romance. They became engaged in 2020 and tied the knot two years later in 2022.
The marriage also brought Sally into a blended family. Joe has three children from a previous relationship, and Sally has often spoken warmly about their bond, describing them as “gorgeous and brilliant.” Though the couple generally keep their personal lives private, they occasionally lift the curtain—especially when sharing glimpses from their travels.
Sunsets, Style, and Santorini Praise
This week, Sally gave her followers just that. Posting from Santorini, she shared a carousel of pictures capturing stunning views, chic holiday outfits, and an intimate sunset photo with Joe. The caption was simple yet evocative: “Santorini sun.”
It didn’t take long for the compliments to come pouring in. Her co-star Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster, couldn’t resist teasing her with affection: “Ooooooh I want to hug you in all that cuteness of yours!! Stunning stylish sexy Sal in Santorini! So beautiful xx.”
Others quickly joined in. Samia Longchambon (Maria Windass) gushed: “Gorgeous every bit!” Sally Ann Matthews (Jenny Connor) added a succinct “Glorious x.” And Natalie Anderson (Danielle Silverton) chimed in with “Beautiful!”
Fans were just as effusive, filling the comments with messages like “Looking good Sally,” “Beautiful photos,” and “Looks amazing.” For many, the post highlighted how the actress glows just as brightly off-screen as she does in the middle of Weatherfield’s most dramatic storylines.
A Marriage of Laughter—and Work Clashes
While Sally and Joe make the perfect pair on holiday, working together isn’t always their preference. In an interview earlier this year, Sally admitted she’d rather avoid sharing too many scenes with her husband.
“I love Joe to bits, but I don’t like working with him—I’m never going to like working with him,” she confessed. Their different acting styles play a big part: Sally prefers to arrive fully prepared, while Joe enjoys fleshing things out on set.
Then there’s Joe’s humor. Sally admitted his ability to make her laugh can completely derail filming. “I’m such a giggler and once I’ve gone, I’m gone,” she laughed. “He absolutely makes me howl with laughter and he does it on purpose. I get cross with him because he knows the situation, but he can’t help himself.”
Escaping the Drama
It’s this balance—between on-screen chaos and off-screen contentment—that makes Sally’s story resonate with Corrie fans. While Abi Webster’s affair continues to unravel in Weatherfield, Sally Carman is soaking up sunsets in Santorini, basking in love and laughter with Joe.
Her latest getaway showed a different side of the soap star: carefree, radiant, and surrounded by support from colleagues and admirers alike. And if her co-stars’ comments are anything to go by, Sally isn’t just Weatherfield’s scene-stealer—she’s also its sun-kissed style icon.
